Lian Li help!

[Tullphan]

I'm wanting a Lian Li case but am on a budget.
I'm looking at a PC60 because of the extra fan, but I have black components & the black Lian Li's are somewhat higher.
My question is does anyone have a PC60 with black components & if so, how do they look. Pics?
Thanks for your help.

how much were you planning on getting the pc-60 for? because mpcparts.com has great prices on lian-li cases...it's where i bought my pc-65. they have a black pc-61 usb for $115 plus shipping. Link

I kinda wanted the one with the top mounted fan, unless these cases are that darn good that they don't really need one on the top.
Are they?
I'll be running an XP1600 probably overclocked & a raid setup.

top fan.. are you talking about the blow hole?

umm i'm runnin an 1800 and there is no noticable warmth out of the blowhole.. its soo slight that its not a big enough deal if you're on a budget and alot of the new revisions of the cases do have blow holes so you might get lucky... didnt someone in a past thread mention that they were shipping out cases with blowholes even though the pic on the site didnt have any?

well i'd say get what u can afford. its a nice case either way and 1 fan isnt gonna make or break ya; you can always mod it for fans if you really need that much cooling.

good luck.. its a good choice.

I have the black pc-60 (pc-61 or pc-62??)... I also got all black components (floppy, burner, dvd) and I can say that it looks sweet. Sorry, I don't have a digicam or I'd take some pics.

Were it not for the fact that i botched a couple blowholes, it would be perfect.

I have a Lian-Li PC 60 series with the blowhole. My components were black and they looked good (IMHO). I decided I wanted a little bit different look and I got a large "carbon fiber" sticker from Locustom and "carbon fiberized" my drives. I think they look great. Let me know where to send pics to if youre interested.

The Lian-Li (again IMHO) is the cadillac of cases. Once you have one nothing else compares. They are well worth the money.

Although, I have the Lian Li PC60 and not the black PC61, I'd thought you might like to see the pics of mine. I have spray painted all my drives silver to try and match the PC60 as much as possible...

KouklatheCat, you said your components were black before the carbon fiber decal...do you think it would've made a difference if they weren't?
Mitzi, any particular kind of spray paint you used?
Thanks.

My drives etc being black helped a little with the carbon fiber sticker application. The buttons were already black, applying the carbon fiber sticker to them would be a pain in the butt.
