I personally prefer the Phanteks over Lian-Li, I've heard LIan-Li cases can be a little hard to build in at times.

I'm aware that it's a little hard to build I was really just curious what people thought was nicer aesthetically.

I mean the Lian Li is a huge case that costs twice as much as the Phanteks.

 

I like some of Lian Li's stuff, but in this case I'd rather have the Phanteks and $150-200 to keep for whatever.

SFF-ish:  Ryzen 5 1600X, Asrock AB350M Pro4, 16GB Corsair LPX 3200, Sapphire R9 Fury Nitro -75mV, 512gb Plextor Nvme m.2, 512gb Sandisk SATA m.2, Cryorig H7, stuffed into an Inwin 301 with rgb front panel mod.  LG27UD58.

 

Aging Workhorse:  Phenom II X6 1090T Black (4GHz #Yolo), 16GB Corsair XMS 1333, RX 470 Red Devil 4gb (Sold for $330 to Cryptominers), HD6850 1gb, Hilariously overkill Asus Crosshair V, 240gb Sandisk SSD Plus, 4TB's worth of mechanical drives, and a bunch of water/glycol.  Coming soon:  Bykski CPU block, whatever cheap Polaris 10 GPU I can get once miners start unloading them.

 

MintyFreshMedia:  Thinkserver TS130 with i3-3220, 4gb ecc ram, 120GB Toshiba/OCZ SSD booting Linux Mint XFCE, 2TB Hitachi Ultrastar.  In Progress:  3D printed drive mounts, 4 2TB ultrastars in RAID 5.

The Phanteks has almost no intake and the Lian Li isn't much better. If you have a 1080Ti you want to keep it cool. If you must have tempered glass then get something that's at least average with airflow like an NZXT S340 Elite.

I've always had a crush for the PC-O8, for me that's the case that got me interested in Tempered glass. And It's on sale for <$250
