Default Lian-Li or CoolerMaster?

Yeah, I'm taking the plunge on a nice lifelong type case. I'm ordering Friday/Monday, so I want feedback as swiftly as possible, please...

I want to know, should I go with something like a PC-7 or PC-60 or should I go for the Cooler Master line and get something like a Wave Master? It's going to be watercooled, have at least two hard drives at all times and probably lots of bright blue bling in the front (Musketeer/Cooldrive4) in addition to all my other l33t modding skillz.

Case suggestions need to be bare aluminum (or clear anodize), have no window, and support four optical drives (for my monitors/bayres needs), and of course, though implied earlier, be aluminum.

I has gots a beater case, but I want a REALLY good looking case to throw my new project in-nothing special, but I want a nice "set it and leave it" system, and not a "I must add this TONIGHT" thing.

Of course, I accept MS paint entries. All submissions should be on 3.5" cards, addressed to my secret... Wait, just post here.

Personally, I would recommend the Lian-Li PC60 since the PC65 I'm using has been nothing but good to me. I modded the crap out of it for maximum airflow...although you'd be fine just doing some basic mods.

Clown has a good example of watercooling in a LianLi, and so do many others. Since mine is external, the small perforated hole patches on the side work perfect for routing cables out of the case.

The removable 3 1/2" drive bays are very nice, same with the removable mobo tray.

I like both makers, but i'd lean towards the Wave Master myself.

Both offer great cases but I feel the Wave might edge ahead slightly on quality.
On top of that, it hasnt been mass modded to death like the ever popular Lian-Li line.

Well I vote for the LL PC-75 if you have the room for a monster case.
Working on this case is a breeze, lots of room for big man hands.....

I think that the general consensus is the Lian-Li...

PC-60 it is.

I'll order it Friday or Monday.

Well, now to get a nibbler... No Dremeling for me...
