To put it simply; I love the Lian Li PC-A16. At first I questioned its size, but that turn out not to be a problem. The simplicity of the case to me is fabulous, but to others, it might be too "plain jane". The quality of the case is very good; in quality of the materials, the build, and design. The case is quiet in operation due to the large 120mm fans and all the rubber dampeners used in the case. Like all things however, it does have some issues. The biggest one I found was that you can't use the top 5.25" drive bay due to the Power&Reset switch/HDD&Power LED cable being too short. I thought maybe it was just a issue with the case I received, but I did a little reading and found other users with the same issue. Some other little things I mentioned were that the case finish takes finger prints and scratches easily. Well that's to almost be expected with the finish the PC-A16 has. There also aren't any 3.5" bays. That's not a huge thing these days, but some people (like me) still like to use a floppy, or have some 3.5" bay accessories. Besides those minor things, the case is very well made, and I am certainly pleased with it.
