I know the decision has been made, but I wanted to post some pics of my PC-65.
The Beast
I have found it to be a great case. Unfortunately, Lian Li does not offer a version with front and rear 120s AND a removable MB tray. There is also limited room around the PSU and top fan, and it can be tough to work with cables up there due to the piece of aluminum running parallel to the PSU. I encourage moving your top CD-Rom down a slot.
As you can see there is plenty of room for an extra 80 in the rear. A little dremel work is all th at is needed. The case is very well build as any review will tell you. It is easy to work in (with 1 noted exception) as long as you do not run 5+HDs. The lack of a door is a posative in my book,
especially when you are using Nero or another program that spits disks out automatically. Sure they look cool, but that is one more thing to break. A matter of astetics I suppose. On that note, I think the Praetorian is hideous.
I will be receiving a Soprano tomorrow for my Brother's computer, so I will be able to compare the 2.
