hi guys - collected my lian li pc-g7 case from ate yesterday. the built quality is awesome - no regrets in getting this. according to ate black pc-g7 completely sold out... they even sold the display set. now left the a few silver ones. at first had problem choosing between this and pc-007 but in the end, the top i/o panel and internal layout decided it. the supplied fan is surprisingly quiet.

it's not exactly high tech - no rails for 5.25 drives and the external 3.5 drives design go back to my ancient enlight days but the quality of the case is beyond other brand out there and the brushed external looked very classy. oh the design of the hard disk rail is ingenious. it would be perfect if they include a funnel over the cpu

oh shawty - you are the one

anyway i strungle to install my pc yesterday. no problem with cabling etc but the floppy disck cable for my STUPID designed abit mobo gave me lots of problem. was trying to figure out where to hide cables etc when i remember - wei, no side window panel - who's going to notice ah? as long as they are neatly tied and do not block the mobo ... ...... of cos my lian li still end up nicely cabled - window or no window!

hey mine look almost similar except for my ugly round ide cable running right in the middle of the motherboard ....... damn abit!

huh just becos of the cable get a new dvd burner etc? nah ... i'll live with it, just frus abit is so smart to put it there together with 2 of the sata port

the problem is the abit mobo ab9 the ide is smack in between the pci and pcie slots - so no way to do it. i have already run the floppy cable under the board (mobo put it at the bottom of the case) ...... great board design. anyway i'm quite happy with my case look although i do not have the cd bezel becos my sony dvdrw got a very nice black tray design.

next i think will add led fan to the rear fan grill and change the side fan to led - just to brighten it a bit hehe

umm what about those pesky sata cables? can i bend the sata cable 90deg like those flat ide cables without damage?

my 1st bay is for the dvdrw - the drive just clear it (ie after install it is touching the io port panel)

that way can keep the sata/pata cables out of sight

wanna ask the expert here - the top blower hole in the g7, can a normal 8cm fan fit in the screw position? thanks!

i still prefer the i/o on top cos my pc is placed under the desk. front i/o very troublesome cos you need to bend down and search for da hole
