Which Lian case is it?
PC71

A quick Google (I only looked at the first 2 links) shows the retail to be around the £150 mark at todays prices, but you then have to factor in the cost of the PSU (I'm using a Silverstone Strider ST1000 which set me back £175 when I bought it around 18 months ago).
True 960W RMS when under full load with f**k all ripple, and a lifetime warranty.


Aside from the fact you can see the quality when you pull the case from the box, the biggest bonus is that you don't need to buy a box of band aid to assemble - and you don't need a screwdriver either (it's all thumbscrew).

a really good quality case costs 150 $+ vat
I'd have been laughing my nuts off if I could have got my case for $150....it was £199 inc VAT....and the PSU was another £175 inc VAT on top.

home is full of various size pc cases..   200 £ case in UK means at least 400-450 $ case here .. I'll spend that money for something more critical imho..

Fair play to you Cem, but my PC doesn't crash every 20 minutes when the ambient temps start hitting the 30's outside  ;)

Hadn't really heard of them myself until I bought this one, but the fact it actually delivers what it says on the tin (bar 40W), and the fact it has a lifetime warranty (including the components it powers should it actually go wrong and fry them with extra juice).....that was enough for me to part with the £175.

A decent PSU (quality rather than pure power) will make a system more stable, as KW says :y

At the risk of a character assasination, if you've got an iPod (like what I have - iTouch 2nd Gen) then there seems to be some issues with Win7 64-Bit.  So if you're intending to use the machine to sync up then you might have problems.  I've just changed to Win7 64-Bit Pro and it's corrupted my iTouch.  I've formatted the thing and now it wants to talk to iTunes only after what iTunes did to it last I'm not sure I want to see what happens when I plug it back in :/

Use Anapod Explorer instead then.

Uses sod all system resources, is less than 1MB in size, and lets you simply "drag & drop" to the iWhatever through Windows Explorer.

For the £200 mark I had seen this which is why I asked to make sure.
