Lian-Li V1200 vs V1100 vs Anything Else?

i second that.

I third that.

And as for the question about the latch timecop67, it's not magnetic... it's got a metal ball that's spring loaded and snaps into a groove when the door is shut. Very tight mechanism.

What power supply are you using in your 1100 wyle? How are the temps with the insulation? I'm thinking of getting one. thanks

Spring loaded.....I wonder if there is a way to fire up the machine without opening the front panel to push the power switch all the time. Not a biggie but I always get latches that eventually wear out on my other consumer things. Sounds like the Lian 1100 is a quality product I'm just trying to deceide if shes for me.

It sounds more like a "ball detent" type of design to me ... a spring-loaded detent ball moves in and out of a detent "pocket" in/on the mating surface to lock/unlock, or in this case, close/open. A solid, time-proven design technique used in a myriad of applications. Very low wear, spring fatigue/failure is the usual culprit if the mechanism breaks down, although wear of the detent "pocket" can also be a concern too, esp. if mating materials are mismatched.
