Hello everyone.

Maybe some of you experienced modders can help me.


Does anyone here have any experience with either Lian Li or Skyhawk cases?

From what I can tell so far the Lian Li are made from thicker
gauge stamped & polished aluminum whereas
the Skyhawk is a thinner cast(?) material with an anodized finish.

So far I've found a Lian Li PC-60 for $112 and a Skyhawk 4610 for $89.

Both models have features I like such as, slide out
Mobo tray and dual front mounted fans which blow across
the HD assembly.

Is the $23 savings worth going to the Skyhawk or should
I spend the extra and get the Lian Li?


Thanks . . .



Lian Li:

Skyhawk 4610:

if u can afford it,m id say go with the Lian-Li
ive always loved their cases, their very wide which is better for airflow, they are made out of thick and solid aluminum.
very good temps inside Lian-Li cases.

i agree...i have one and love it.

i would get the lian-li , even if it cost a little more

I agree. Go with the Lian Li, I love mine. It will be money well spent.

i love my lian-li!

I'm going to have to disagree with the general concensus here.

I have the MS4610APD (w/ the 120mm side intake) and I can only praise this case. One thin you will want to consider, tho; the side intake vents on the outside of the case were only 80mm. However, I modded the case and only have one 120mm on the side as an intake (in a pretty crapin' design, if i say so myself) and put the 120 that came with the case as a blowhole on the top.

Anyways, I have really appreciated this case and I think that SkyHawk sometimes loses business just because Lian-Li is such a popular name. In my opinion they are pretty much the same case, except one is $X cheaper.

Thanks everyone.


The old cheap . $15 case I am using now doesn't have enough room
for the HD's in my new RAID array. And it doesn't cool very well either.
During long gaming sessions I have to leave the side off or the temp
gets too hot.


Lian Li & Skyhawk compared:

The slide out Mobo tray is basically the same for both models.

Some of you think this is a bad idea?
