my favorite part is the cpu heatsink+fan combo. Took a decent 80mm thermaltake heatsink, used an adapter and dropped a 120mm fan on it <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Lian Li is expensive, but its sturdy, light, stulish without looking over the top, and extremely easy to change parts or open.
My Case!

Only a few changes from that shot: The sides are off (Permanately, got squished in a fit of audio related rage) new power supply (no more black and yellow cables) new dvd burner, and a good few inches of rust on the outsides
That should explain everything.
But a good argrument I have heard against modding a PC-Case is the fact tht majority of the time it is under your table or sumwhere like tht where ppl wont c it.
Anyone care to provide a counter-agrument to that?
but it can still look spiffy and sound nice. And if your getting top notch components, may as well get something to show em off. Like getting a V8 in a stationwagon or something, it just seems better when its in a sports car.
If you have space.
And i dont live in a mining village, i live in an industrial park

Just a question....are steel cases better than aluminum cases (besides the fact that they are uber heavy)?

No not mine.. from <a href='http://www.techreviewer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=199&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=&sid=2e25e3d2b33ce7372288ad10221a53b5' target='_blank'>here</a>
Aluminum is a lot better because of its thermal properties.
That's why you see copper AND aluminum heatsinks and <i>not</i> steel heatsinks.
Though I'm going to build another computer, and think I'm going to use a Lian-Li PC60usb case for it.
