Agreed. Lian Li used to be incredible. Now they’re still decent, but I find them overly complex.
I am now a big fan of the Antec Flux and Asus Prime.
I just googled the Antec Flux; never seen it before but oh my is that a gorgeous case. 15 years ago when LL was still making brushed alumunum cases, Antec was a very close second in beauty. They kind of dropped off and slid towards the gaming RGB stuff but I hope they're coming back with simple elegance. I wish I had seen that before I went with a TT Core P3. At that time, I was considering the Fractal Design North, but the XL version was not out and I wanted more space between the top of the case and the top edge of the motherboard because of clearance issues with the 6+2 CPU power, fan/pump headers, and a 120x360 radiator.
