#849 - Lian Li PC-A71 Case Video Review

"If you are in the market for a full tower case and you need it to have excellent air circulation, dust filters, plenty of room to work, a removable motherboard tray, lots of drive bays, a sleek look, excellent construction and it has to be all aluminum, than I would strongly recommend checking out the Lian Li PC-A71 Case. There are six 120mm fans and two dust filters at the front, five external 5.25" drive bays and ten 3.5" drive bays. There's no other full tower server case that has these features and weights in at only 9.5kg (21lbs). Watch the video to find out more and check out the bloopers at the end." ~3dGameMan.com

It's because they are high quality cases.

Lian Li makes good cases, solid as a rock and quality!

Off the top of my head, Obsidian 650D, Obsidian 800D (watercooling), Silverstone FT02, Raven RV02B-EW, ... Not necessary better, but that's the ones I'd consider. Maybe another Lian Li.

@basstard013 what case(s) do you think are better than this case nowadays?

[Nefus1988]

Australians, sweeds and norwegians seems to like this case!

I have a PC A71b. Great case, huge, awesome build quality, but I'm now experiencing problems with rattles. I need to have a poke inside and sort it out :) It does not have sound dampening.

Also another problem is the removable tray does not have a cut out for the CPU cooler backplate. Was a bit of a pain when I put the Corsair H50 (which has its own backplate).

There are lots of good (and better) cases available nowadays. But this is still a great bit of kit.

I have a Lian Li case and everyone is right, it is 100% quality. bought mine at a discount at about $100.

This guy doesn't actually try to put things in the cases he "reviews". He gave my NZXT Adamas case a Kickass rating. The case won't accept even the most common Seagate drives, like the ST3500320AS 500Gb drives, of which I have four. Don't listen to a thing he says.

I have a silver brushed aluminum PC-A70, and it is a flawless case. I laughed when one of the posters in here said this one looked cheap and said they preferred an Ultra.

That's like saying you prefer your Ford Fiesta to a BMW.

There is no plastic on this case....everything is aluminum or steel. If a part is dented, you return it for replacement. Still in three years of having my case, I haven't had a single dent or scuff on this case. It's very sturdy, well built, excellent fit and finish.

my lian li case i go from my cousin but very horrible cooling my video card idles at 80c

Lian-Li is a bit overpriced. :( and Some of the cost comes from them paying to ship it to U.S. Retailers or where ever else.

But I'm sure the craftmanship is amazing.
