The 2nd would be my 1st choice for a quiet office pc, but the 1st would be a great choice for an OC'ed system built to show off, I would put 2 PSU's in the 1st to take advantage of the empty space as well tho

i like the lian li...but i like the temjin nimiz more.
roadkill...what makes you think that the front intake is blocked? it's a fan filter...all you have to do it just remove it...look at the third picture from the bottom on the left.
for best cooling...go with the temjin nimiz. for silence...go with the lian li.

Why it is restricting airflow.

notice those little slits in the side? those are the only place where air would enter
that little door thing on the front is jst for the front usb and such

I did notice that eather you got to open the bottom door of the case to let air in a lot of air the are small side vents to let air in but that limts the air flow a lot. The first case Kinda odd it has (wind tunnel) or what it says in the features and the air that gets sucked in the front gets dirly sucked to the back of the case. Were does all the air go to cpu fan and the power supplie ? Also on the back it only has 1 fan that blows out. That big peace of metal in the back that has no fan on there should be one there. The case on wheels were does the air get sucked in does show any vents around the case.
