Is this a nice case? It seems awesome...I just ordered one a few days ago I can't wait...Was it worth $200 though?

LianLi Is a very nice case.. roomy... and great for cooling...
the PC70 looks to be a pretty awesome case.. I Like it and it is definitly going to be my next case..
I dont think any of them are really worth 200+ bucks.. but.. hey I guess if you want an all alum. case.. your going to have to payfor it..
Yeah what Bosco said.. did it come with a PSU?
If it dident then, you payed a little too much...
I was just at a site eariler who had the case for 170 bucks with out the PSU, they had the Black one for like 150... (I thought Black was the fad?) you would think the black case would be higher in price... *Scratches his head* oh well..
Yeah you prolly just dident shop around too much.. but thats ok.. some places will get you like 250 for the case...
So.. you dident get stuck too bad sir..
Do you plan on modding the case?
If so, keep us updated show some Pics! hehe...
hope that helps!

I am very n00b at modding cases (my dremel is broken and I haven't tried a jigsaw, I was trying to cut a bit in my little minitower so i could access the screws, but the dremel didn't make it, I haven't cut a case beyond that...) I don't have a credit card so I had to order it COD and where can you find a black on cheaper than a white one...it didn't come with a psu but I think I may be buying a big Enermax cuz my little 275 watt Sony PSU is probably not gonna support my system and all of the fans...the case I boght had 1 extra fan from what I've seen usually (I bought it from www.xoxide.com and they mod). I really don't want to dish out another $100 for a PSU but I may have to...the case is gonna be here tomorrow I can't wait!

Yeah I know tha tI didn't get the best price, but I had to get it COD so I got a decent price and I got it COD so I'm happy...I'm not sure if I'm gonna hack up my current case...It is a POS! It is not even a foot tall...It takes 30 minutes before you can see the motherboard, you have to remove the floppy drive cage, the HDD cage, and the PSU cage, and pray that you can actually get them back in...I need to learn how to mod it so the my drive covers will look decent they are nice drives but they are so ugly! I need to buy some sheet metal and use my old case to practice and then I needa buy the biohazard window...later.
