So I picked up a Lian-Li PC-Q08b.

Bigger in person for sure.

I'll tell you this. When you install the optical drive (makes sure you do it first!), make sure the IDE/Sata cable is working. I had to completely tear the system down the replace the IDE cable. Lesson learned.

And get the PSU extension PE-01. The standard 140mm PSU does fit, but its so tight, makes for a lot of butt hurt. Adds 60mm.

Waiting for the twin to show up and two extenders.

Otherwise I'm very happy with everything. This is my first time with Lian-Li, and I'm very impressed.

So what you're saying is this case is too small.

If it was at least one inch deeper, that would be nice. ;p

Lian-Li is good stuff... a little expensive though imo

yeah two cases just burn a hole through my soul. but shouldn't have to switch em ever, unless itx dissapears. i get the expansion i need, and support for full size psu. and dual expansion slots to deal with the ever fattening gpu cards.

You always go for the small cases. They look nice, but I like a ton of room (Corsair Obsidian 800D). Lian-Li is expensive. They usually use all aluminum and the quality is nice. Fit and finish always top notch.
