[lug] Question about new system

[Gary Hodges]

They won't be the cheapest, but the Lian-Li cases are nice and PC Power 
and Cooling has a good rep for power supplies.  I have products from 
both and no complaints.  PC P&C also sells cases, including Lian-Li but 
I don't think they market them as Lian-Li cases.  A suggestion that 
someone once gave me that actually worked great.  Call PC P&C and ask 
about blemished cases.  I got a steal on their full tower steel case 
this way.  I never could figure out what was wrong with it until I 
happened to see the bottom one day.  Pretty big scratch, but no big deal.
