Lian Li or HAF X?

[KapteinFruit]

So my posts have been all over the place because I haven't been able to make up my mind about my future upgrades. But I have now, so I'm wondering which of these three cases I should get. The HAF X, the Lian Li PC-X500B or the Lian Li PC-A70FB? I'm mostly leaning towards the Lian Li cases because of their superb quality and that those two Lian Li cases only use 120mm or 140mm fans so I can change all the fans to Noctua fans which I want to do. Of those two cases I mostly want the PC-X500B, but it's about £100 more then the PC-A70FB and the HAF X. And I would LOVE to have dust filters and I know the PC-X500B got a very nice dust filter, but I'm not sure if the PC-A70FB does. Not sure about the HAF X either. In my mind the only thing the HAF X got going for it is the cable management features and that it's cooler then both the Lian Li cases. Just to say it, I want my PC as silent as possible which both the Lian Li cases can do for me since I can change all the fans to Noctua fans, while the HAF X got two big fans which Noctua don't make and even if they did I don't think they would be very silent. So after reading this wall of text which case do you think I should get. Percent wise I want the PC-X500B 60%, the PC-A70FB 30% and the HAF X 10%. Finally a good thread by me.

The A70B is great for water. The X500 is ok for air but hard to make it tidy.

The haf x is USA designed wrongness

Two front intake fans has equipped air filter, to stop dust entering the chassis. These air filter were washable, envirnoment friendly.

I'm not thinking of going water cooling until I'm happy with my rig spec wise. That means a second 5870, SSD, braided extension cables and maybe an i7 for HT. But probably not because it's probably not worth the price. And even then I'll be skeptical about it. I know you guys love water cooling, but I just don't feel comfy about it yet. And the X500B is something special which I like and it has sound proofing foam which both are good things for me.

That's good news. I should have checked there. They didn't have the X500B there, though.

LianLi hands down. Anything from LianLi = better than anything from any other company (except for Mountain Mods, they are still king of cases.

).

Get a lili mate you won't regret it. I've used at least 10 different lili's over the years and none of them were less than my expectations.

Just remember soundproofing = thermal insulation, meaning your components run hotter.

Thanks.

Didn't know about that. I don't understand why it's a 'historical case', though.

Sounds good. I really think I will get the X500B. It will be worth the extra money.

Yeah, I know. I'm hoping it won't be too much extra heat. It's only on the sidepanels, so...

Alright.

I like it like that. I know what you said about that time I sent you that message, but could you take a look at my "Your Over Clocking Secrets" thread again? I've posted some replies. Don't get mad at me for asking you, bro. I just want some help.
