Posted October 25, 2014 Pretty nice looking case, perfect for a NAS. Good ventilation, light aluminum and pretty good use of space, but I'd like to see how much room is between the hard drive cage and the back panel. Who cares what it looks like inside as long as it is functional, all it will do is sit in a corner somewhere out of sight. Price is scary though.

Posted October 25, 2014 No dust filtration, no side window, very plain with almost no style what-so-ever. Just an over-priced aluminum box, IMO. Bleh.

Posted October 25, 2014 Lian Li really is getting old. I used to own one and while it was pretty, that's all it was. LL tends to have terrible internals and this case is no exception. I can't find anything about this that makes the price justifiable. I can guarantee after building a system in this, it would look butt ugly with prints. Every photo shoot and vid of a LL case always has those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted October 25, 2014 I have one thing to say about this case: S340. Why would I pay $190 for it when I can buy the S340 for $70? or the H440 for $120? Those drive bays also make me cringe.. SPAAAAAACE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted October 26, 2014 Why not Micro ATX? ITX board with that much SATA ports will be difficult to find Admittedly, this is the only mini itx board that I know of with so many sata ports, but it instantly came to mind. If I wanted to build a crazy mini itx nas with that many drives, I would probably buy this board. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157475 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 27, 2014 Those side panels remind me of the panels on the ncase m1 and while they look cool, they're not as practical as slide on panels. I would definitely rather get an ncase than this.
