Lian Li PC-V2000 Full Tower Case Review

Quote:


	Almost everyone has heard of Lian Li, and for those that haven't, I'm here to tell you that they always manage to set the yardstick in the design of aluminum cases. The fit and finish is unparalleled, and the overall function is bar none. Ok, ok I may be bragging a little bit, but Lian Li debuted their new case at CeBit this year, almost all of the hardware forums were ranting and raving about Lian Li's newest offering, the V-series. Luckily we know a lot of wonderful sponsors that have no problem attaining one for a review, oddly enough it just happened to be the flagship case the PC-V2000. The first impression I had of the V2000 was the sheer size of the case, its absolutely huge, but remains the same size of its predecessor the PC-70 series. Lian Li has also paid a bit more attention to what we want with little additions such as a stealth CD-ROM, and an aluminum floppy bezel with holder. Of course these are the small things, and as you'll later find out Lian Li has literally did a 180 in the arrangement of how your components fit into a case. Lets check it out!

Quote:


	"If your looking for a case that is going to fit all of your hardware nicely, has the basics covered and gives you ample room for your own modifications, than the Chenming 602 case could fit the bill. The quality build, non-flamboyant design and ample space make the Chenming 602 a nice addition to anyones floor beneath their desk."

Yeong Yang Cetus Case Review

Quote:


	At the bottom of the front bezel are a series of three louvers. We've seen this design before on other cases, but with the Cetus, this is more than just aesthetics at work. As with a set of Venetian blinds, these louvers can be adjusted to increase the airflow into the case. Directly behind the louvers sits a 120mm fan cage.

I might just purchase me that Lian Li. No more premodded Jupiter. I hate you!

I like the interior layout of the Lian Li. I like the overall styling of the exterior, but I wish the mesh on the front was a solid piece rather than mesh, it would be much easier to mod if it were. They should have 2 models of this case 1 with mesh 1 without.

Yeah that's a big minus, but then you're a lot more active of a modder than I am. I'll probably have plans for that Lian Li, but I'll probably never realize them.

Really, what matters is taking my rig off of life-support. I could probably do it in this case, but I'd rather go for something easier...and prettier.
