One word "sweet", this is the box I have been searching for. From what I have seen and read so far, looks to be well worth the $100 price tag.

nice little case, now if it took a full size ATX mobo then we'd be in business, no good m-ATX ocing mobos

I'm also thinking of getting this case!
Looks very sweet!
I was going to go with a big case, but decided on something small! A HTPC case is too much trouble.
Bubba are you going to get it? If you are, let me us know how much clearance there is for large HSF's. I have a XP120 SI and if it will fit, I'm getting this case next month along with a Asus A8N-VM CSM mATX motherboard.

Wow, that's a very nice case. Lian Li makes good quality stuff although I have never cared for their OEM fans. If it wasn't for the water cooling in my rig, I'd be tempted by this one.

I'm really thinking about it hard. I was going for a coolermaster centurion mini tower but I really like this one. but the coolermaster is only $45, just ahve to buget in the other 50 or so for it.
I'm looking at next month for buy my next case, If I get this one I will most certainly have a thread with all kinds of images.
edit 2:
found a onther batch of images that has a good side shot with a large HSF installed.

Ken, are you going to use the SI-120 in that case or water cool? I'm not seeing how the watercooling would fit...well without being a major PITA.

SI-120 --> It will be for my second rig.....I still have a 4400+ & 1GB ocz plat rev 2 sitting on the desk ;)
It's this case....... or a slim HTPC case.....but they have no storage space...and cooling is a
major PITA (just figured out what "PITA" means):)
Bubba......Thanks for the link!!!

I will be getting this case (next month I hope), and I will water cool it in the future, air for now.
was thinking of the swiftech mcres-1000 setup, its a 5.25 drive bay cage that has their low profile pump and resivoir.

then have the rad on the side or back..

That would work well........Just remember the case will only take a mATX motherboard and it won't fit any of the large gfx cards without modding....Also the space for a PSU isn't very large....it might not fit long power supplies....(like my powerstream)
I'm thinking of the same setup too.....eventually. I have the waterblock and Rad already.......You can't beat watercooling for silence!

yeah I have a mATX already, and the card I have is a short card.
