Why are you wondering? Do you think it's a cheap replica? Looks pretty close to me as far as design.

Looks like a PC-60 to me

It's hard to tell with those pictures but...I have noticed that Lian-Li cases don't have an indentation for sliding off the slides. That one does. In the picture of the inside of the case, the bottom hard drive bay seems to be missing the top piece of metal which I have noticed with the cheaper replica models. The front bezel looks identical to the older pc-60s that have that raised piece of metal where the power/reset buttons are. That's what I could tell, please correct me if I'm wrong.

looks like the old version of the pc60 (the new one doesnt have a raised area around the buttons)...why are the pictures so bad? what are they hiding?

That's how a lot of the Lian Li cases are, the top metals always missing for some reason.

I'm positive that one is a Lian Li case. The inside looks exactly like my Lian Li case and the front fan vents like the Lian Li cases I've seen on Newegg. The front ports door and the beige sleeved cables for all the front ports are just like mine. If I can see this correctly, there's also a small white plastic strip guarding the aluminum plate by the PSU, just like on my case. The Lian Li logo looks like it is etched and painted in, not some sticker. This is definitly a work of Lian Li.

Im not sure why the top 2 came out so bad.... ??

Ill take new ones tommorow and replace them

So there are no serial codes or etched numbers inside or somewhere that i could use to identify...

Let me also add that i have no reason to think its not.. its just one of the cases lieing around my work (computer repair shop) and i was thinking of taking off my boss's hands. He prob wont want more than 20 or 30 bucks for it cause he knows i love computers and he doesent want it. The company is closing and he is liguidating his inventory... he said he would give us employes first dibs and killer deals

looks like a PC-60 to me as well.

even if it is a copy, it looks like a damn good one

TheMainFrame · Jun 2, 2005

Fixed the photos

infinitevalence · Jun 2, 2005

No doubt its ap PC-60, notice the thumbscrew style, protective strip on the inside, and the front panal ribon cable. That is a Lian Li.

TheMainFrame · Jun 2, 2005

ok.. ill guess ill grab it then... be nice to say i have a lian

30 bucks is prob a nice deal anyways

Watch out cause it might be one of the Koolance cases which look exactly same as PC-60. This is the water cooled version, but the regular ones look just like PC-60. Either way its a good case

infinitevalence · Jun 2, 2005

notice the difference in the front panal cables though, the ones in his pic are definitley Lian Li.

A dead give away is the square MB mounting holes on the Lian Li.

The coolmasters all use traditional round threaded holes for studs.

infinitevalence · Jun 2, 2005

Thats the other thing i meant to point out, yes Lian Li uses square snap in standoffs rather than threaded holes.

TheMainFrame · Jun 2, 2005

Thanks everyone

jjv687 · Jun 7, 2005

The holes on the Lian Li PC-7 are round, I just checked mine and noticed they were round. Had me scared that mine was a fake until I checked Newegg.

Look at the enlarged view of the inside picture. The holes are round. I can't beleive Newegg has this case for $100 shipped tho, I paid $130 for the 2x 120mm fan/side window version.

my question is, if its this hard to tell, why does it matter?

If it looks like a nice case, and is well made, why does it matter who makes it?

Can anyone confirm this is a Lian Li case?
