Thinking of a new case and a few changes

[Colonel Mitch]

As most of you probably don't know I'm about to move flat.

My pc is still currently watercooled components on a desk next to me, which are going to be very hard to move, and eventually ill have to do something about it for LAN anyway.

As such I've decided to get a new case and decent air cooling for my CPU and GPUs (have to replace their coolers as they cant be reused once the thermal cement is removed and it cant just be repasted).

I am pretty much set on getting a Lian-Li PC-A77FB.

I've always wanted a Lian-Li case since I first started building computers way back in year 8 at school, and thought that for the years of use I'll get out of it I can't really moan about paying twice that of a lower quality case (For anyone interested full info on the case and more pics are here on the lian-li website http://www.lian-li.com/v2/en/product/product06.php?pr_index=478&cl_index=1&sc_index=25&ss_index=61&g=spec ).

Also I'm getting this for my CPU: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-053-ZA

And two of these for my GPUs: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-002-GD


All of these are up for debate and I've picked them for personal preference mainly.

Anyone have any thoughts, comments, or other recommendations?

No idea what that CNPS-9900 is like but remember when I was building I was set on one, then looking at reviews the TRUE came out on top for both performance and ease of install.

Lian Li cases are epically awesome.

Does it matter how it looks? There's no window on the case!

I remember thinking that the TRUE was better than the Zalman one too.

Haha yeah I know theres no window but the case will inevitably spend a long time open so i will see it :P

I ordered everything this morning, it was mostly the case I wanted opinions on :)

Also lian li sell loads of stuff as accessories, including windowed sidepanels, and a hotswapable hdd bay which would be awesome
