Well I had the case for over a week now just had no time posting any pictures yet.

Nice case, very lovely and all reviews are spot on except it has two major drawbacks:
PSU has to be standart size and can not be longer then 6inch which is normally not a problem but for unfortunatly is for me.

Socket A: well the case is upside down which means the socket is at the bottom. Lian Li had the clever ideal to make sure the mobo is 1mm away from the bottom of the case and as you know the socket is at the edge of the motherboard = I cannot install any BIG or super silent heatsink. Luckily I found this Artic Cooling heatsink which is standard size and very quiet and performs well. http://www.arctic-cooling.com/cpu2.php?idx=14&disc=
on medium settings, cant hear it.

The only things I changed on this case is the front intake fan = Papst fan.

Both exhaust and intake fan run at slower speed but still blow plenty of air, very quiet.

Ambient: 22C
Case temps is: 32C to 36C at load
CPU temp is: 47C to 53C under load

Oh I also got a 9600XT now not a 9800Pro any more runs much cooler and I installed the Zalman passive graphics cooler on it and temps for are from 45C idle to 60C load (3 hour 3dmark03) without any extra fans.
PSU I will change next week to one that fits, probably zalman one.

cool looking case... i like how the mobo is upside-down so that the pci cards are the right way up and the sata ports ide ports etc are right next to the optical drives... better for hiding the cables... cool design imo... have a side window?
