I'd go for this one..Shed load cheaper and it supports liquid cooling, which you mentioned a few posts earlier. I also prefer the look of it..Not so into seethrough sides...

I like the Silverstone one a touch better, but there isn't much in it - so considering there's a £60 difference, I'd go for the Lian-Li

hmmm, i'm leaning towards the Silverstone tbh, hard drives rack and supposed better cooling.....

Its a tough one.

Sweet, my SSD was shipped today too.

A case is very much personal taste and I still really really like the Lian Li, the original choice.

No doubt the Silverstone is a fine case but to me it looks like one of those cheapies PC World flog.

As I said, just personal taste...

And for such a perceived minimal difference then the sixty quid difference makes it a no-brainer imo.

Well the side panel dont bother me as i am not fussed if its see through or not and i may have it so the window is against the side of the desk anyway....

Couple of reviews both from Pure overclock..

Fortress Review

Lian Li Review

Still have to say i'm favouring the FT01 at the mo, if i'm sticking a 4ghz i7 in there i want the best cooling i can get.


Watch this...

Hmmmmm......

 

[floppybootstomp]

You asked for opinions.

You got them.

You gonna do what you prefer anyway

We all do, for right or for wrong

I have the SSD drive in my hand now.

At work at the mo, but pics to follow.

Right, I've just ordered the rest of my 'wish list'....

Lian Li PC-7FW - Yep i went for that in the end. Just couldn't resist the fact it looks so good.

Lian Li HD-321 Converter - To go with the Crucial SSD i ordered already. (Link)
