Love the red case, but don't care for the spider window. Does Lian-Li make a side panel window that will fit this case? Don't care if it's black, just need another plain window. Anyone know the part # ?

I believe the W-LM2AB-2 should do the trick. It's their new "standard" left-side side panel.

At the start of the review you said: " Priced at £250, the PC-8FIR is the most expensive cases we've ever reviewed,..."
Now I assume you mean "one of the most expensive cases", since you reviewed this one a few years ago. Which came at a price of £259 (and still hasn't come down that much)
:P

If only this case had a black exterior and just a red interior like some of the cases from Windy, it would be a lot less gaudy. Even tastefully cool maybe.

Good spot and yes we did mean 'one of the most expensive'.

Circa £145 (inc 19% VAT & UK delivery) if you buy from caseking.de, makes it a slightly better deal...:D

£150! For a cpu/gpu/psu???
Maybe you are not willing to spend that kind of money on a case but some are.

I bought a £200 case and it's probably the only original part except for (part of) the hdd's.
Everything else has been replaced or upgraded at least once.
So was it a lot of money? Maybe.
Was it expensive? Not much more than some people pay for cases in the same period.

That makes things a little bit different, it's a gorgeous case!

Just picked the black version of this up from aria for £88 (brand new on their super special web deals). An absolute bargain! Normally they sell them for about £115. No one except an idiot would have paid over £200 for it i'm sure...

So how would you rate it at under £100 then?
I'd say value 8/10
and overall 9/10.


Features only 6/10 (are you kidding? - its one of the few to have 2 top-accessible usb3 ports)?
At least features 7/10.

Also, the psu can suck in air from the bottom of the case, as there are slits in it and it sits on legs.
