The Lian-Li PC-8N is a high quality medium range aluminum case with a sober design at an interesting price level.
INTRODUCTION
Just a couple of weeks back I had the immense pleasure to review the LanCool Dragonlord PC-K58 case and as I mentioned in the introduction to that review, LanCool is a member Lian-Li family of brands.
The Lian-Li PC-8N is a medium tower case without too many “extra” features. It is a sober looking case made in aluminum that should attract anyone looking for a high quality case at a reasonable price level.

For the moment Testseek.com has collected 10 reviews of the Lian Li LanCool PC-K58 and it has received 9 awards (!) and a staggering 85% average score. Those numbers says a lot but I wanted to know what the fuzz was about so here’s my own review of it.
INTRODUCTION
When one looks for a case for a new high end PC building project, Lian Li always comes up among the interesting manufacturers. It is my opinion that Lian Li is synonymous with quality; design; elegance and exclusive features. This time I will be looking at a case which has all those features but also a reasonable price tag.
The LanCool is really more a brand of itself than just a Lian Li product series. Lian Li is by most considered as a high end brand, so to diversify into the medium range consumer market without negatively affecting the Lian Li brand, they started the LanCool brand. It is in some places sold without the “Lian Li” in the product name. Anyhow, what really matters is that Lian Li targets lower price level market with the LanCool brand/series.
One of the differences that I have noted about Lian Li versus LanCool cases is that Lian Li mostly uses aluminum while LanCool uses SECC steel for the construction of their models.

NZXT M59 case is best described as an aggressive looking case with interesting features and a high build quality.
INTRODUCTION
To me, NZXT’s lineup of cases is rather typical for most case manufacturers with several product lines with different characteristics and price levels. A couple of months back I took a look at the NZXT Beta which is a case from one of NZXT’s lower priced series. The case which I will review today, the NZXT M59 is part of their “Classic” series which is a step up from the lower budget models.

Cooler Master’s Elite 310 seems to be a good option for consumers looking for a sober looking high quality case for a cheap buck.
INTRODUCTION
Cooler Master is by many considered to be the number one manufacturer of high end cases for gamers and overclockers. But everyone does not need all the extra features and details which you will find in Cooler Master’s high end cases. There are those who are just looking for a simple and cheap case to mount their system in.

Summary: SilverStone has given me the opportunity to do a detail study of one of their Micro-ATX cases; the Sugo SG04B-H. The special thing about this case is that it supports high end (read BIG) graphics cards and power supplies.
INTRODUCTION
The SG04B-H which I will be reviewing today, is a new addition to SilverStone’s famous “Sugo” series. You can check out its siblings at the manufacturer’s website.
