I've just moved my system from a LIan Li PC65 to a Coolermaster Black Widow.
See this review, http://www.hexus.net/content/reviews...mlld19JRD00ODk Coolermaster cases are very good and I'm sure the Preatorian will be just fine as will your choice of PSU. The Coolermaster is a better quality product than the Lian Li, i.e., slightly thicker aluminium with a better finish (no need for the plastic edge coverings), the case is more stable with better construction and closer fitting parts. I chose the Black Widow version of this case as I was very impressed by it's finish and functional design. |

Lian Li cases are better constructed than most, but Coolermaster aluminium
cases are a league ahead. I've just changed a Lian Li PC65 (side panels sans plastic fish) for this model http://www.hexus.net/content/reviews...lld19JRD00ODk=. I note from your picture that the top panel on your Lian Li is not fitted too well and that the side panel is a very loose fit. The top panel of my Lian Li was similar but with a slightly worse fit than yours. The things I did like about the Lian Li were the detachable panel looms and the fan speed control for the front fans. It is a nice case but its construction and assembly could be improved. |

IMNSHO the plastic fish on the side window of Noozer's case represent a step too far as a fashion accessory. Personally, if I were forced to have them I'd prefer to have them inserted into my arse. |

Here is a pic of mine (PC60 with aquarium side panel). http://www.pbase.com/image/23289017 . Ed Nice box Ed. Did you make the aquarium panel yourself? If not who makes them? Oh, one thing I'd add is drive covers. Lian-Li has started producing spring loaded doors that fit into the front panel and pop open when pushed by the drive tray. I don't have anything as fancy as a fish tank, but I've added a silver painted floppy and zip and now my case is all silver. Enkidu The aquarium side panel is made by Lian Li. I picked it up locally and haven't really looked at online shops for them. Yea, I have been looking at the Lian Li covers. With everything else I have done to this thing, I should break down and get some. I am looking at an upgrade to an 800mhz fsb system very soon, and will probably do that then. The aquarium side panel uses a small 12v aquarium pump that mounts inside the case on a rubber mat and is virtually silent. Ed --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

It is a nice case but its construction and assembly could be improved. Yep. I rarely put the thumb screws in the back of the case since I go in there pretty often. If you take your time and put a little pressure upwards, it will seal off fairly good. It could be better, but the overall quality is great. That could be remedied with a thin strip of tape too. I just never bothered. Ed --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.564 / Virus Database: 356 - Release Date: 1/19/2004 |

Hi, yes that looks the same as the new *Praetorian* except it has a window side. .. . This is still my No.1 choice so far, just don't have stock of it at the moment in UK (it sold out fast!!!!!!) -- Wayne ][ |
