Lian Li PC-V2010 or Corsair 800D?

I'm trying to decide between the Lian Li V2010 and the Corsair 800D for my next build. Both have lots of pros and a few cons, but I'm having a hard time deciding! Help me AT.

In the end, go for what you like best because you're going to have to pay out the big bucks to get it & then live with it for several years (unless you're well-to-do & can afford to buy expensive cases whenever you please).
With that said, I own a V1000B (scaled down version of this) & am crazy about it. Since owning it i've purchased a P180B, a Sonata III, Stacker 830 & a Storm Sniper. I always keep going back out to the garage & putting my system in the V1000. The quality is there. Better made, IMHO, than any of the others that I mentioned above.
Now, if you wanna save a few bucks & don't mind the inverted style, go with the ABS Black Pearl. Basically the same case, save for the inverted design & $150 cheaper.
 
+1 for the Black Pearl

I love mine and at 99$ its a steal! I've always shelled out the cash for Lian Li cases and purchasing the Black Pearl made up for the overpriced Lian Li cases
 
My 800D should be here by Friday. Was strongly considering the Black Pearl as well, but I missed the deal on Newegg a while back, think it was only $70. Have a decent job now though, and the 800D looks badass. Really like the cable management, my current build looks like ass with all the hdds I have. And I want to do water-cooling, should be plenty of room.
 
800D is badass...

it has one of the best cable management approach.

Its also very water friendly..

You wont be disappointed in the 800D.

 
I also have a 800D and its nice. I haven't put anything it in yet... its actually my first non-aluminum case (said id always buy aluminum) One thing i don't like is the clear side cover.
