    /me doesn't got one.

    No removable mobo tray, that's the main downgrade I believe.

    I got one Pc-7 and Pc-60 and would have yo say I like the 7 better because of the price/value difference.....and I like the PC-7 bezel better anyway :)

    Pros: The Price its soo cheap compaired to other lian li's
    Just as good as the pc 60
    Front Bezel grill lights up brilliantly with a cold cathode or even leds

    Cons:
    no removeable motherboard tray
    you might not like the front bezel (not really a problem as
    the pc60's bezel fits anyway - so ive been told? Phire
    maybe you can tell me?) :idea:

    I like the Pc7 it is an excelent case and to be honest how manytimes to you take the motherboard out anyway? it go's in once and should saty there (you get alot less problems that way!) i modded mine and i got it to look bloody great except at the moment it not working but that is just a minor set back:lol:

    to top it all up i think the pc 7 is proberly the best case ive ever owned:rock: :rock: :rock:

    Yuppers it fits...although it was awfully snug compared to the pc-7 but it has to do with how many times you take the bezel on and off. Just remember, dont take it of more than you have to, as mine is looser than I would like because of my constant on and off of it (not a problem, but my preference is a snug fit)



    :rock: :rock: best case I ever had!!!! :rock: :rock:

    This might help,

    The PC-7 bezel made of plastic – are you kidding me??? Of course it’s not! (see pic for brushed haluminium finish) Read up on the many PC-60 reviews and take off the fan controller, mobo tray and front grill design and you have the PC-7. I personally think it’s the best looking out of all the Lian Li’s. Just make sure you get the latest model like the one I’ve got. Gone is the crappy plastic button surround and flying in, comes the new sexy haluminium badge.

    I’ve had the chance to physically compare both PC-7 and PC-60 and chose the PC-7. I thought it looked better and the loss of the mobo tray doesn’t hinder me. Mine cost £73 BTW. I also think that only coolermaster do a better looking case than mine but they are almost double in price.

    As for whoever mentioned lighting up the front grill…here’s mine in action.

    Oh yeah the top and side panels don’t come beige either, in case you haven’t noticed my PC-7 is in the middle of a project, LOL Hope this helps you.:lol:

    Thanks for the welcome Linear! I thought I'd take a pic to show you the front bezel in real light, not some artificial white room. I hope my pics show that the PC-7 is quality and far from "economic" as Lian Li market it.

    Other differences between the cases are :

    Stealth top blow hole
    Thumb screws on the expansion slot things (don't know what they are actually called :worried:)
    Bl00 LED for hard drive activity

    btw I also have a PC7 case for my second rig and it :rocks:
