If Leonardo Da Vinci owned a case, it would be a Lian Li.

A coworker once told me, "The only way I'm going to spend $280.00 on a computer case is if it blows me." This was when I proudly showed off my PC-S80A.

Maybe he'll change his mind when he sees the PC-A60C.

Personally, I've never been a fan of black cases, but Lian Li's have always looked great.

The brushed black anodized aluminum case with rich copper accents for the motherboard tray, hard drive cage and expansion bays is truly a work of art that Da Vinci would be proud of.

I'm a proud owner of a lian-li PC-7B and I will never buy another case from anyone else.

I've had a pc-61b for going on three years now and it's just a fantastic case. I would recommend it to anyone.

Protoplasm72 · 07-02-2007, 11:21 PM

Wow that is a sweet looking case but I'm happy with my Lian-Li PC-68. That's the one problem with these cases. Once you get one your never want to upgrade.

Rick_EE · 07-03-2007, 07:32 AM

So what makes it such a good case?

mojaveron · 07-03-2007, 10:49 PM

I use the Lian Li A16 Case its a good quality case there were several to choose from I did a lot of research on cases and decided on this one, sure glad I did.

That's a nice case. I have to agree with Protoplasm72. I have a Lian-Li PC-60 case and just can't seem to let it go.

i'm looking at a pc60IIplus, with the four fans....but i wonder how loud those things would be, and what options i might have to swap out: artic cooling 120s?

Aside from the fact that is looks really nice it's also extremely well built. Lots of room inside so it's easy to work in. Mine has a removable hard drive enclosure and motherboard tray. It has great airflow with 2 80mm fans on the front that have air filters I can clean without opening the case. Did I mention it looks awesome

I just got one of these to replace a 6 year old PC60. The fans are being glitchy though, they keep clicking and I have to replace them. ; ; I also need to look into something better to do with the hard drive, it's a bit louder in this probably due to the extra holes and things. Appreciating the extra airflow though, trying to route a 92mm CPU fan straight to an 80mm case fan wasn't really the best solution.

I have two PC60's actually, one is a first generation, purchased right around 2000/2001. The other is a slightly later 2001 model. I'm selling one empty, and the other is a PC I will probably try to sell fairly soon. They are both anodized a pleasant blue color and are very cool. Giving them up will be hard.

That special edition PC60 looks absolutely sweet. I wanted an A16 but the top-mounted buttons would interfere with objects I have sitting on top of my case.

I've got an old beige PC10 that I'm still using, had it for years. Its my old "faithful" and has outlasted many other cases. I ended up modding it and drilling some extra holes at one stage. The aluminium has stood the test of time and its still nice and square as per new.

If you look at the piccies here, you will see that not much has changed over the years.

I think Leonardo would have this model! PC777a

I replaced the fans right away with silenx fans for the 72CFM at 14dBa. My video card is by far the loudest fan I have (BFGtech 7900gt stock fan)
