I took these pics for those who are wondering just how big of a difference there is in size from the PC-71 and the PC-60 series. If the inside the PC-71 was completely empty of cages, I could place the PC-60 right inside it. :o)

The top of the Lian Li is rivoted on just like the rest of the product line. Rivoted top panels seems to be the popular thing these days with cases. Who told them we don't need to take them off?! Oh well, nothing a small drill bit couldn't undo :o) Also notice the rear inner fan grills. Lian Li seems to have come down a notch in this category. If you look at my last review of the PC-70 here, you'll notice that the included rear fan grills were the standard chrome finger guards and not these unfinished, and kinda fugly, ones. Also note they only "tacked" them on with the press fittings in opposite corners using only 2 on each grill instead of the 4 it would use. I don't know if this was because they expect you to take them off and wanna make it easier or they were just trying to save money...heh. Either way, not a selling point of this case by any means.

Now we zoom in on the front of the chassis behind the brushed aluminum bezel. You can see the 3-3.5" bays located in the pull out drive cage. A unique feature in and of itself. 3 thumbscrews ( 2 at top corners and 1 center bottom) hold the 3.5" drive cage securely in place ( which, I think that'll do it...lol). The usual dual 80mm fans in the lower front with a built-in and removable (huh?) air filter. You can also notice the 4-port USB hub built-in just below the front intakes. The infamous built-in Lian Li "fanbus" fan speed controller is also there as normal allowing you to set the fan speed as 1, 2, or 3 ( 3 being the full 12v and going down from there). I have yet to see the actual voltages at which the 1 and 2 run at. Sorry guys If I knew I'd tell ya..heh.

Here's a closeup of the little USB door on the bezel. It's a simple "flip down to open" and "flip up to shut" flap. Also notice the typical Lian Li styled faux carbon fiber trim which resides on the top and bottom of the removable bezel. It's a real nice classy touch that they didn't have to do, but did. The Lian Li aluminum case badge isn't too shabby either as far at stock case badges go. But it's not as cool as a VH badge..thats for sure :o)

Closeup of the lower front HDD cage. It's removable by loosening just a couple of thumbscrews and nicely slides right out . The PC-71 will hold six (6!) 3.5" hard drives in the lower compartment. The good and the bad about this is 1) the HDD cage sits right in front of the dual 80mm intake fans so it's assured cool air all the time..2) If you happen to fill up the HDD cage, you'll block ALL of the incoming air to the case itself and it'll be like blowing into a wall. Most of you however will likely only have 1-3 HDD's and this setup will be a very good one. Now as far as the fans go , I COULD NOT find the specs to these fans anywhere. So here's the brand and model #'s in case you can find it. ( 80mm ADDA DC Fan model# AD0812HB-A76GL ) ADDA's own web site don't even list them =\
