Hi, For a case which has room for quad graphics cards which do you think looks better and why?
thanks

IMO HAF X is better because it has a load of 200mm fans or has very good ready-implemeted facilities for water cooling

Don't you think the plastic looks a bit tacky/?

Depends on what type of look your after. The grunge look is too much for me but the specs are pretty top notch and all credit to coolermaster on this one.

Is the Lian Li even capable of housing 4 graphics cards?

Well it has 10 expansion slots on the otherhand, the Lian Li would be way better for that especially if you are taking the new UD9 motherboard. If Haf X can I'm pretty sure Lian Li P80 can as it's even bigger. By the way the MSRP will be £150 for the HAF X case.

Just a note about the PC-P80. These have gone on backorder status and has not been updated on the Lian-Li 2010 catalogue, so possibly this will be discontinued?

I bought one today from somewhere as OCUK have now removed this from their Lian-Li section. As I stated in another thread, I needed the 10 slots for a double wide quad GPU setup. Not for games, its a folding thing.

The HAF X has 9 expansion slots btw. Not sure if this has already been mentioned.

depends what cards you get. Quad 480gtx, dont think the lian li wont handle. If it was quad single slot cards yes, both will fit.

Lian li pc p80 had one before i got my MM case it has plenty of room inside but needs a lot of modding for watercooling and the haf x looks better more fancy parts as stock i would go for the haf x
