Default silverstone temjin-09 vs lian li pc-g78b

im in the market to buy a new case to start a nice and long project to wc my rig. i have a small tt matrix case that has served me well but its just too small it being a mid tower. i really like the size of a full tower but am not at all crazy about the way the armor looks, looks like a toy in my opinion. i like it sharp and clean looking so i narrowed it down to 2 choices..

lian li pc-g78b : http://www.xoxide.com/lian-li-pc-g75b-black.html

and the

silverstone temjin-09 (tj-09) http://www.xoxide.com/silverstone-tj09-case-black.html

in your opinions which is a better case? i really like the full window of the lian li, but i can also purchase the temjin at a local store.. both have their pros and cons, i want to hear your opinions and experiences!

I'd get the TJ-09, I find the panels on the Lian-Li's to be a bit flimsy but its chassis very strong. But for overall build quality, go for the Silverstone

im not sure about how new the lian li case is.. i just found it last night..i kind of had that impression with the case, it looks like thin thin aluminum.

also check out the user galleries at the bottom of each link. they really showcase the cases well rather than the advertisement image. you cant really get a sense for it looking at it.

I can vouch for silverstones build quality, my TJ-05 is built like a tank
it looks better in Black than Silver
Only thing I can fault is the pain in the butt plastic card retainers in the rear!

Either one is a great case to buy. But the Lian Li is out of stock () and the Silverstone isn't, so....

You really can't go wrong either way, they're both very well built and have quality designs. I like the Lian Li more (hint: I own a Lian Li ).

Go with Lian Li; they are awesome case manufacturers. Enough that I won't be going with any other for a long time.

The G75 is just a G70 with a side window.
