Default New Lian Li PC7-FW

Lian Li Case PC-7FW


Ordered it a few days ago and it should show up sometime today.

Just wondering if anyone has one or see's any thing as far as adding fans, cable management or anything else you might have heard about this case before i do the switch later this afternoon.

I feel bad to retire my P183 after only a year but when i saw this and then sow the price there was no way I could pass it up. Hopefully i'll have pics this afternoon!

How on earth have you had a P183 for a year?!

Looks like a nice case, but I'll not be dropping my P183 in the forseeable.

cable managment isn't so bad using a modular PSU.

I've been looking at cases, and this one has been catching my eye. A lot of people swear by Lian Li build quality, but also a lot of people love Antec Cases. Originally I was going to get an Antec Nine Hundred And Two (Sounds like something from Harry Potter), but then decided on the Antec Twelve Hundred because I hear that some CPU coolers have difficulty fitting in, (like the Noctua NH-U12P).

Would this one have such said difficulty fitting it? And hows the cooling compared to the Antec cases? I like this case because it's just so simplistic!

Lastly, what is the difference between the F and the FW? Newegg only has the F for sale, so I was just wondering.

I was almost going to buy this case before I got my 300 but I really just didn't like the lack of airflow in it. I mean only 2 fans? But the case looks amazing.

my temps are exactly the same as with my p182 whitch surprised me since i have 2 less fans in the pc7-fw

as for the differences between the f and the fw is w=window

i got mine on newegg and if you want the window get this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811995022

thats what i did and now i have a extra solid side in case i want to try and do my own window mod or a side mod with fans or whatever.
