Coolermaster or Lian-Li?

[tacos]

What is the better case? Why do you feel this way? Thanks for the feedback

[scoobydoo]

I prefer Lian-Li, because:

The Coolmaster ATC-201 only has a brushed aluminum face plate and the top and sides are powder coated and it looks cheap for the money you pay for it!

The Lian-Li is all brushed aluminum, cheaper and just as high in quality!

You should check out this review....

It's a comparison between two Lian-Li and two CoolerMaster cases. Probably has just the info you need to make the decisionl. It sure helped me make mine.

Coolmaster sucks

i did business with them and will never do business with coolmaster again. They are dishonest and ripped off

be careful with coolmaster

i just put together a new system in a lian-li pc60usb, and i freaking love it :D :D just my .02

I got my Coolermaster in my sig during a PC show and was a scratch and dent item.....For The $100 I paid Im not complaining.

Both the Coolermaster and The Lian LI are excellent choices.

Apparently the guy that sold me the Case at the trade show didnt have a clue as to its retail value.

He wanted 125 and I rebutted with a 100 dollar offer and it was mine. Had a little dent in the back where I cut out a exit air fan hole anyway.

Here is my review:

Allow me to express my appreciation for the Lian Li cases. The best way to describe it, "an absolute pleasure to work with!" This case has such a high quality, that putting it together just makes you feel good. Incredible. If only I could afford this case for every computer, life would be much nicer. Every piece of this case fit together like a glove. Excellent layout, and no tools required, thanks to the 100% thumb screws. Well labeled and neatly organized motherboard connectors (reset switch, LED, USB, etc.) This case is lightweight, runs cool, and quiet! I've seen a 9 degree C drop just by using this case. I knew that Aluminum cases helped the overall temperature, but I was not expecting a reduction in noise too. That certainly was a nice bonus. Over my lifetime, I have built hundred of computers, and this case is the best. I've got 2 now, and plan on getting more in the future.

Lian-Li is a good company to deal business ?

anybody here buy computer case from them before ?

any problem with service?

i want to buy the case directly from them.

thank you

[Zeke009]

Softwebdev, I bought my Lian-Li from here:MPC Parts (http://www.mpcparts.com/). No complaints at all! Not sure if Lian-Li deals direct, but MPC Parts was easy to deal with. Ordered on a Sunday, received it on a Wednesday.

The case rocks!!! Incredibly easy to get into, all thumb screws, dummy protection so peeps don't cut themselves on the edges and sue the pants of them... very nice!

[Softwebdev]

thank you very much for your info

will get lian-li soon.

can't wait to have lian-li's case for my Christmas

How do the Antec cases compare to the Lian-Li?

I was weighing up the pros & cons & ended up buying the Antec.

A good solid case with good air flow (4 standard fans)

I just bought a Cooler Master ATC 201 from Newegg.com. for $225, which is probably the best computer store on the internet. So, if some of you have service issues with Cooler Master, I would try Newegg.com. Anyway, I chose the Cooler Master over the Lian Li PC70 because is had a top-mounted blow hole and slide-out motherboard tray. If you ever get a case with a slide-out motherboard tray, you will never go back to one that does not.

Although if you really like having a blow hole and want a Lian Li case, all mod'ed and decked out, check out FrozenCPU.com. They have a nice PC-70, but it's almost $280.

Thanks guys for the feedback! I think I will stick with the Lian-Li! I don't know what is so great about a removable motherboard tray that the coolermaster provides. But, from what I have read the Lian-Li has better construction.

FYI: Lian Li's have motherboard trays.
