Hardware Lian Li Armoursuit PC-P80

Heh, someone's linked the Take Two news article to the Lian Li review thread. Regarding the Lian Li, it's certainly not to my taste.

Tis a shame, I like the restrained look of many of their other models.

 

Yak. In need of a respray and removal of the ugly front and top.

 

I dunno, I quite like the red really. Get rid of the window and if I had £200 to spend on a case (hahaaa) then I'd go for it.

 

Looked at this case cross-fire and non crossfire version and all i gotta say is:

U-G-L-Y you aint got no alibi you UGLY

Think ill be sticking with my PC60

 

£200 is an awful lot of money to pay for a case only to cut it into pieces for modding, but I know what you mean. It's not the best looking of cases, but it has potential

 

start by spraying it BLACK!!

 

Tbh I kinda like the color... But the design looks like it's stolen from Thermaltake or something. I don't like these Stacker-type of cases to begin with as I don't have 20 hard disks and am not planning to put two Zalman Reserators inside my case, so why not just offer them proper Lian-Li cases in red? The last thing I want is the damn Ati ad on the side of my case, but I hope they don't force anyone else but Tim to get one of those

 

What has happened to Lian Li? The days of their understated clean designs have gone obviously.

 

man, that is ugly! i will be sticking with my pc-7b

 

I'd like to know why anyone would get THAT over the Cosmos S

 

Lots of room (looks like it would be good for watercooling with some chopping !) and scope for modding this case but at £200 starting price its steep !

 

I still don't see how someone can spend over £40 on a case...

Especially a red one.

 

I've said before that I'm a LiLi whore, but the Armoursuit Series do nothing for me. I'm glad you guys got one in for review though. I'm just not big on that....speedbump up top. I like to drop in rads in the tops of my LiLi's, so that kind of gets in the way, lol.

 

Ditto. Their 'simpler' cases are a lot more clean-looking (great for modders and non-modders alike), and cheaper to boot.

 

damn that's a narrow rad...

As for the case, damn that's fugly!
What were Lian Li thinking when they designed it???

/me checks its not april 1st...

 

I like the red color, it's neat, not very Lian-Li-ish though is it? Overall I think the case is a bit too fugly for its own good but I guess it shows Lian-Li's attempts to reach out to that sector of the gaming market that do want an outlandish (for lack of a better word) eXxxtreeeeeeme looking case. Now if only Lian-Li would send bit-tech a pc-a70 so I could read a review of it that I could trust...

 

lol, spotted fixed =] (360x120mm of cause )

 

I think I like it, actually. I don't like the ATI branding and the window, but overall the case is pretty nice. The color seems to be pretty cool as well (all though i wouldn't want it myself). I would prefer the black version, though.

The one thing I don't like is that lump at the top of it. There MUST be a better way of doing that...

 

I see a red door and I want to paint it black?

I think the hump could work well. After all, look at Koolance's cases with the built-in rad/res there. But it would need to be full length. And then there's not so much need for all the fans at the front, and then you might as well get something else.

 

And that's what scares me.
