Case Construction
We can always simply put it by saying that the case is well constructed, but that sounds vague, since everyone has their own definition of a “well constructed” case. The PC-60 Plus is extremely lightweight because of its all-aluminum construction, but its not at the cost of strength. The entire structure of the PC-60 Plus is the strongest that we have seen in aluminum cases since the PC-6070/V1000 models as well as SilverStone’s TemjinIII.
There is a single security feature on the PC-60 Plus that is also found on the PC-6070 as well as many other similar models to the PC-60 Plus. This feature is the side loop for third-party locks or security wire that can be utilized to lock the left side panel as well as motherboard tray to the case. This security feature would almost be complete if the right side panel would have been locked also similar to the issue that we mentioned when we looked at the PC-6070.

29,32: you are also right. 140euro for CM stacker was very nice price for perfect case. But LianLi is not the way to go.With CM you get two silent 120mm and one silent 80mm fan, 6 USB, FW on top, 12 5,25" positions and rubber mounted 4in 3 HDD holder. Case is not too heavy, have alu sides, removable mainboard tray, two power supply holders, many accesorries. EATX, BTX,...
And - it is aluminium where it makes sense (sides) and looks awesome. Best case ever for all needs except SFF.

Totally agree #25Like the plain elegant style but at that price I really want it much quieter and (near) tooless. And why haven't they bothered putting the external ports higher?! Mid- or top of case makes much more sense IMHO. Sounds to me like Antec are making cases that are both better and cheaper. It's a no brainer. Now if we could combine Lian Li style with Antec features...

Does anybody know how heavy it is? I'm looking for a very lightweight ATX case, and since this is all aluminum construction, it should be pretty light. My other choice would be an Antec Super Lanboy. Its hard to find information on the weights of LianLi cases (couldn't find it on their website) to make a comparison.WileCoyote - Sunday, February 27, 2005 - link
Not much better than the original. The new features are all very gimmicky. The PC-60 was good back in the day but there's a lot of better options now. I have two complaints about my PC-60: sometimes the case vibrates from the fans and some power supplies don't fit. My case doesn't have any front usb ports either. I still think it looks awesome.defter - Sunday, February 27, 2005 - link
Who is buying these cases? You pay $150 and get a case with a four case fans and 54dB noise level???I rather get a plain $20 case with zero case fans and a quiet $50 power supply.

Nevermind about the sideways mounting - went back and read it again. "or three HDDs mounted horizontally with the included cage partition. "but no rubber grommets :(

Ok case. Not thrilled with the way the HDD mounts on it's side and no rubber grommets... oh well. The air holes for the videocard fan seem small for efficient airflow, no?Also - "One thing we notice is that the frame of the case interferes when using a screwdriver to install or remove these thumbscrews" I guess if you can get ur fat fingers in there then your alright.
I've noticed that Lian Li likes the single 80mm fan in the rear of the case - wouldn't dual 80's be better?

sorry for language. too less sleepinval - Sunday, February 27, 2005 - link
i believe that myth of Lian Li is driven by the fact that in the past there were not much alu only case manufacturers in the past. now is lianli without much inovations only living from that "name"but there is already long time much better cases for much better price available.

All Lian Li's are very plain, very loud, and only hold bragging rights for the amount of money spent on them. Innovation is a concept lost with these case designers, left by the wayside long ago with originality and style.If you want a sleek lightweight aluminum case with quiet 120mm fans, a well built and quiet hard drive rack, and very interesting modding capabilities, I'd get the Antec superLANboy for $80 or less. Hell for the price of a Lian Li you could get 2.
