New Lian Li range available for pre order at overclockers.co.uk including this one and the prices are high, very high for a case of this size.
Think Lian Li have now gone beyond expensive but worth it, too over expensive and not worth it.
They just look tacky to me? :O_o1:

Thay make good cases
They do make nice , high end quality cases, but so do Coolermaster (for example) for half the price.
CoolerMaster cases are functional and good value, but aren't a patch on the better Lian Li, Silverstone or even Corsair cases.
Lian Li are turning more hit or miss, and unfortunately most of their newer cases fall into the latter bracket. Good that cases last for years.

I see you have the same Lian Li case as me - the PC A70b - I only paid £140 for mine 18 months ago, the new 2010 replacement for this case is over £200 and pretty much the same thing.
Too be honest, as good as the craftsman ship is on Lian Li, I am not a big fan of the aluminium. Its light which is great, but its not too strong and also its very noisy.
That's one of the issues with aluminium, resonance.
Although no steel case finish can ever quite match up to that of anodised brushed aluminium.
Still if you want Lian-li quality, in steel, without the price tag then that's why they started LanCool.
Coolermaster do produce a few higher quality cases and they are very expensive, eg the atcs 840 and Cosmo
A lot of the current prices on new models are down to changes in the prices of metal and the weaker pound. It doesn't just effect Lain-li cases.
