Question Lian-Li PC60F

Hey guys,

I've fallen in love with this case ever since reading some reviews on it and seeing the interior!

Link: http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Lian-...luminium-Black

Review: http://www.cpu3d.com/review/6064-1/l...roduction.html

Anyone have any knowledge on this case or should I just get it when I can afford it?

I'm planning on using a 4870 maybe in CrossFireX but the reviews says the 4870x2 had a tight fit so I'm wondering if the regular 4870 will fit in CorssFireX?

Thanks for any help

Okay, thanks.

This case uses one of those special slidey hard drive storage features, I'm planning on using it with 2 SSDs in and then a 3.5" drive which is around 1TB.

If it matters, the SSD is (planning 2 in RAID0): http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/30GB-...-s-Write-speed

Will a hard drive converter like these work?: http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/25-to...d-State-Drives
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Silve...kes-2-x-25-HDD

The Silverstone works with "most" hard drives but the OCZ says it works with all but the Silverstone can hold 2 drives in one slot, recommendations guys?

I have a Lian-Li with the same HDD rack, Lian-Li supplies foam pads to mount the smaller HDD in their racks, the converters you linked to seems to be a better solution though.

Sorry for the double posting but I'm wanting to know whether any thinks this has good airflow or should I get a CM Storm Scout instead?

i think the scout would have better airflow. But the lian li has more class and higher modding capabilities

You can always edit your previous post.

You sure you don't want the one with the clear side panel?

I agree that the Lian Li looks alot better but will the CM Scout have better airflow for me to notice the temps? Or is it fine?
