Which case? Lian-Li or ABS
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811215001 ABS Stealth CS-05A1BL $109.00 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811112025 Lian-Li PC-61 USB Black $110.00 Deciding which of these to use for a new build. I've seen the CoolerMaster Praetorian 730 (which the ABS stealth copies) at the local Fry's Electronics. Only viewed Lian-Li online. So I don't know how build quality compares. Any opinions how the Lian-Li compares to the ABS. |

They both look nice...get the one that you like best as you're the one that has to look at it.

I haven't messed with an ABS case, but I can assure you that the Lian Li cases are top of the line in quality, fit/finish, and functionality. I won't use anything but Lian Li cases in my future builds.

the abs has more bling appeal if that means anything....the Lian-Li is just tooo plain for me...but others really like that sort of thing....

Lian-Li is one of the best makers. The ABS is a rebadged CoolerMaster, also one of the better brands. The Lian-Li might be a little better, but either one will be a good case.

Lian Li is one of the best case manufacturers out there. Their cases are well built, well designed, have good cooling characteristics and are solid.
Not sure about ABS.  Cricket

I built my daughter a new computer in September using this case. The case is very well designed and built and a real pleasure to build a computer around. I don't think you can go wrong with the Lian case.

Lian Li is one of the best cases money can buy from a quality stand point. Not everyone likes the plain jane look though.

I have the Lian-Li PC61 case. It was easy to work with, pretty good cooling, and the removable motherboard tray.
