Default Best Lian Li Full Tower? Need Suggestions..

Hey guys,

I need some help picking out a case. I know that I want a full tower lian li, but I can't decide which one. My budget is anything under 300 preferably towards 200 though. I need really good airflow because I'm going to be using air cooling and I'm going to have some graphics cards that need to be cooled as well as an overclocked cpu.

Any suggestions, personally preferences, etc.?

Personally I like the A70 and A77

P80 if you want to spend a little more

It can also fit a rad quite nicely at the front. A triple rad would fit, but it would leave no room for HDD or Cd/DVD

There isn't much difference between them. Most of them are the same with the difference being the amount off hdd bays and the addition of a door. Some have a single fan up front and some have two. The P80 is the only one that looks different to me.

I don' think that full tower lian li's are best suited for optimal airflow. When I look at them, I just think which will work best with watercooling. In which case can I stuff a bigger rad and more of them.

Thanks for all your suggestions guys! The pc-p80 looks perfect and if I decide to go water cooling in the future, I can easily do it. The price tag is a little steep but it just looks like that's a case that could last me a freakin decade!!! hahaha Thanks guys!
