Lian Li's PC-6070 Aluminum Case

Installation
Installation of all the necessary components ate up about 20 minutes for the PC-6070. The biggest time consumer was because of the design of the drive bays as well as the motherboard. Drive rails and sliding clips are beginning to be standardized on many newer cases, yet Lian Li chose not to go with a completely screw-less design. One reason why this may be for the drive mounts is safety. Hard drives need to be mounted securely in order to work efficiently; otherwise, they may become damaged.

Add-on cards used thumbscrews, which saved some time in that area. It is a step forward from the traditional Philips head screws, but again, screw-less designs are dominating the industry.
The power supply installed flawlessly using screws from the back. One thing to keep in mind is while using a large CPU heatsink, the motherboard tray may need to be removed to install a power supply easily; otherwise, it is almost impossible to get a unit inside.

Yeah the review formatting is screwed, rather disconcerting to read :)ripdude - Friday, March 26, 2004 - link
Good review, especially the noise-level.Could the new Coolermaster CM Stacker STC-T01 be taken in a review?
Sporting a 300mm fan I'm very anxious to see if this new case is as good as it looks.

This computer case has a bit more foam, and is much quieter:http://www.g-news.ch/articles/nhp200nc/

I would guess that anyone can buy foam and glue it in their case to reduce noise. I wonder if there is a place to buy it online?KristopherKubicki - Friday, March 26, 2004 - link

Is it me... or is the formatting screwed up? I see the bottom 1/2 of the webpage on top and the top 1/2 on the bottom. ;confused;dgrady76 - Thursday, March 25, 2004 - link
Nice, in-depth review, Mr. Purav. Also, thanks for the decibel level readings for similar cases. I bought a Fong Kai case on the recomendation of this site, and my lord if that case is not louder than my air conditioning, washer and dryer and vacuum cleaner combined.
