Lian-Li case

[Alf]

If found a case that i like, the problem is i cant seem to find it
Im looking for the PC-V2100b Plus II
The Problem is i cant seem to find any information about it other than the lian-li website
I suppose the only way to get one is direct from Lian-Li? Well, i going to try to find it on some site here in the states, if you guys can locate a site that reviews it, dont hesitate to post

Hi Alf, I have found a couple of websites on your side of the Herring Pond which are selling the model you have quoted. Here and also Here

There is a review Here

Hope they will help

 

[Alf]

Oh!
Thank you Taffycat!

 

[Alf]

Frozen cpu has it, but its out of stock
The other site is based in Canada... I aint paying 15% more than i have too

 

[Taffycat]

Aww rats! Shame they're out of stock Alf, that's disappointing. Oh and sorry, but I didn't notice that the other site was in Canada, I saw the dollar signs and automatically thought it was in the US, doh!

 

[Alf]

Ah well, i keep on alooking. At least i know i cant get them now, just a matter of finding a carrier.

 

[Taffycat]

Well good luck with it Alf - I'll post back if I chance to see any more on my surfing travels

Editing this because I've had another quick look around. They are advertising one in stock in their "Clearance Items" section Here (Norwood, MA ... er don't know where that is )

Also Here (a company in Florida)

Then Here in Freemont, CA

Apologies if these are way out of your area, but couldn't resist trying again, good luck

 

[Alf]

Whoa, there Taffy doing quite a bit of search aint we
Thank you for your help, i havent had nearly as much luck as you and i live in the states

 

[Taffycat]

Hey, I'm a woman, shopping's what I do I enjoy "challenging" Google too Really hope you get lucky with your Lian-Li

 

[Alf]

Ah, yes... i can tell
i think the perfomace pc site looks the most promising, decent prices - except im reluctant on buying online though. I checked the BBB website and havent found a report on it yet. Not sure if its good or not

 

[Taffycat]

I can understand your caution Alf. I shop for quite a lot of things on-line, but always like to check-out companies before buying anything.

This link might be helpful. It's not BBB, of course, but it is a very detailed review about the Performance PC Store. You'll need to click to page 2 where this guy has written in detail about his visit to Performance PCs (He travelled from NY to Florida just to check it out.) It really is worth a look because he has posted lots of photos (even some shots of Lian Li cases!) Might help you to decide. HERE

(My Edit: My link doesn't seem to be working(?) If it refuses for you too, perhaps you could copy and paste this:
http://www.virtual-hideout.net/articles/visit_to_perfpc/index.shtml which does seem to work ok... sorry about that )

Maybe you would also find this next one relevant, there were some re-seller ratings HERE
Performance PCs seemed to score quite highly - but click on the ratings and the next page will get you a break-down of customer satisfaction, prices, and whether customers would shop with them again.

Information overload alert!

 

[Alf]

Ahh thank you again Taffy, your very resourceful
I think i will puchase it from then, i suppose ill order it some time next week

 

[Taffycat]

It's a pleasure Alf - and good luck if you go ahead with your purchase those cases look really good.

 

[Alf]

Well if i have any more questions on purchases, ill come to you

 

[Taffycat]

Well the way I see it - I'm not bad at shopping, so it's one way that I can make myself useful around here!!

 

[Alf]

Well, i did it.
I put in an order for the case and added a GPU cooler as well, Artic Cooling Accero S1 which scored high on madshrimp.com which has a 8 gpu cooler review.

 

[Alf]

Thank you Taffy, if not for you i would be $340 richer

No really, i wouldnt have dont it and les, i would be stuck with a cheap (and poor quality case).

 

[Taffycat]

Hey Alf I hope you will enjoy your new purchases ...now is there anything else that I can help you to spend your hard-earned dollars on? ..........Just kidding

Hope the delivery will be speedy for you

 

[Alf]

Already shipped out
im sure ill get it by tomorrow or thursday

 

[Taffycat]

That's brilliant news Alf, bet your looking forward to receiving it
