    Ok, decided to get a new case, been looking at either the Lian-Li PC-A71B seen here or the Lian Li PC-A77B seen here

    Trying to decide which one is better. I have about 350 to spend on case and mods, I am looking for duel loop deffo, possibly triple loop. One triple rad would defiantly be going into the roof either way, not sure about the rest though. What I’m asking is:

    1. Which case for duel loop and why

    2. Is it possible to triple loop either effectively (Apart from simply a PA120.1 on the rear fan) and how?

    3. Which one do you think would look better in bright red externals, black internals, and red highlights?

    EDIT: Any other case suggestions around that price range would be good either

    Erm, it's box shaped like any other. What do you mean?

    I'd pick a big tower Chieftec instead of a lian li, it's a lot less cluttered inside, not to mention less expensive and more massive.

    p.s. i'm also anticipating the Obsidian, it's amazing.

    I mean the internal layout, its a lot more compartmentalised to make it harder to position anything bit like a PA.120.3

    That Obsidian does look... rather good.

    Does it have dust filters? Otherwise I can't spot a fault!
