IMO, once you get to the level of quality of either of those brands, it's all down to a matter of taste.

I saw some Lian Li boxes in a shop the other day, $200 w/o PSU, and damn they look good. A little door in front opens up to expose usb ports, and great color choices in that aluminum finish.

I looked at the Coolermasters available at my Fry's, same story: you pay dearly for them, but they're clearly well made and reliable products.

My case of choice for the AMD boxes I build is the Antec sx830 workstation , costs about $100 and comes with a 300w PSU, and 2 fans installed. The fans are mounted in coolio purple snap-in frames, and it comes with more of these frames for you to pop more fans in. Removable HDD & FDD bays, and a locking swing-out side panel.



Best luck, Taylor

Neither.. Get an Enermax alluminum case. They are a little more in price than the coolermasters and lian li's but you cant beat the quality.
I have this case myself.

ANY case that's big enough and made of alummium is an excellent case!
