    So i ordered a PC-A77F on monday, it just arrived and i'm dismantling it as we speak. Oh my god this thing is amazing. All the clever little details... and that anodized aluminium....nerdgasm.

    Also, i'd like to give a big shoutout to caseking.de -they were awesome to deal with and they even included a pack of Haribo with my order. How awesome is that? :D

    Yeah this is actually an updated version of that. The LCD on the old one really put me off so i paid through the nose for this newer one.

    Its virtually unreadable in all honesty from any distance other than about a foot away.. so its just a bit of blue light on the case as far as I am concerned ..

    Its a brilliant case thought ya bang on there.. huge potential for anything you want to throw in it. I will write to Scan and suggest they start sending sweets with their cases in the future ..tight wads

    This thread has reminded me to ask Scan what the ETA of the PC-8FI & the PC-9F are.

    I am looking for a bit of aluminium class myself.:naughty:

    It's actually kind of small compared to my last one. It feels a bit weird. On the other hand it's beautiful so it's OK.

    The biggest version of the Chieftec Bravo. A sixty-seven centimeters tall massive steel tower.
    I certainly don't intend to.

    Have had this one for a couple of months. Aside from a couple of minor issues, love it.
    Bought a side window for it too - still need to upload pics at some point.
    Anyway, congrats on having excellent taste and a deep wallet :)

    I never did get the whole aluminium elitist thing.
    It's lighter yes, but it's not exactly gold....
    They make all sorts of cheap crap from aluminium :(

    Personally i'm not too fond of the aluminium itself, however the finish is gorgeous on it. It's everything else about the Lian Li quality that really sucked me in.
