CM 830
+ unique design, very UFO
+ lots of airflow
+ mbo tray
+ tower size
- much expensive than v1200
- still the same old internal design like many casings
- will be very dusty compare with Lian Li v1200 (not to say v1200 is not dusty)
- exceptionally noisy ( since there's holes everywhere )
- doesnt comes in BLACK ( haha )
Lian Li v1200
+ design very much like Apple PM G5
+ slightly cheaper than Cm 830
+ much longer in size
+ better design in isolating the heat components
+ comes in BLACK
- reset button ??
- will have compatibility issue with large heatsinks (might only, depending on socket placement )
- mbo tray ( thats what i feel, but anyway its roomy enough to be w/o one)
- PSU issue with certain models
Anyway, i ordered for Lian Li v1200 since i love it
