Has anyone had any problems from this case? I dont know if I need to do something but this thing is a static magnet! Any time I touch the outside of the case it shocks me. Also, the case doesnt sit flat on the desk.. one corner is shorter than the others so it rocks. Pathetic for paying $135 to get some quality!

Mine is just fine.. the case is static free and doesn't rock. You should try contacting lian li customer support for RMA, otherwise just put something under the case to balance out its "feet".

I figured out the static problem. It was the power supply wasnt grounded. :( Scary. So, that is fixed.. now its just this blasted rocking. Also, anyone that has a 65B how loud are your fans? I'm trying to figure out what is the loudest fan in my box cause its quite noisy. I have 2 on the PSU, 1 on the CPU, and 1 on the GPU. Its the stock 9800pro fan so I'm not sure if that is loud or not.

I have replaced the stock adda fans from the beginning with Vantec Stealth fans and I'm using a Thermaltake Purepower Silent for the PSU in that rig. The rig is not completely finished, but the PSU seems to be the loudest single source of noise in the system, about 25db. My components are water cooled so no noise from the CPU. The 120mm Rad rungs at 22-23db with the aluminum 120mm fans running 7V.

Try setting that fan speed switch in the front of the case to low or medium if High speed is too unbearable.

Did you notice much of a difference in quietness when you upgraded the stock fans to vantec stealth? Whats the best way to get these fans out? they arent screwed in, some kind of plastic things - do you have to drill those out or how do you remove them to put screws in? What is your take on that thermaltake noise? Is that normal or excessive for a PSU? Mine seems quite loud but maybe its what I should expect...

Just pull those pins out, they are screwless. I never used the stock fans so I don't know, but those stock ADDA fans are rated 25db supposedly so not much louder than ur average UV fan.

No such problems with my 75b. There was a generation of Lian Li cases that had all sorts of issues including warped side panels. You deserve an RMA for the wobble. As far as the static, check your wiring and bring up the humidity in your house.
