The P182 is just too big, especially since I moved to a smaller space. I have had the solo before but was thinking about maybe trying a Lian Li since I have been using antecs for every case for years. I want something small but that still fits an ATX mobo and big graphics cards, and of course my xigmatek s1283.
P182: 21.3" (H) x 8.1" (W) x 19.9" (D) TOO BIG!
Solo:17" (H) x 8.1" (W) x 18.5" (D)
Most Lian Li's are around: 19.29" x 8.27" x 17.72"
Quietness is a concern, will a lian li be disappointing to me after using solos and p182s?
I guess I should note that while I very much appreciate a nice quiet computer, I am not looking for the ultimate in silence or anything like that...
If anyone can give me case suggestions or any opinions on lian li's I would be grateful.
From: P182 To: Solo or Lian Li?

Have a look at Lancool and in particular the PC-K10. The Lancool series are built around a SECC steel structure and so should have less vibration noise than Lian Li's all-aluminum cases. By the way, Lancool is a subsidiary of Lian Li.
I'm having a hard time myself deciding between the P182 and the K10.

I second K10 as an very nice option. A friend of mine got that case and it's a very, very good base for a nice, quiet system.mbf wrote:Have a look at Lancool and in particular the PC-K10.

thanks for the responses..
I am not really into the look of the K10 but the K7B looks pretty nice: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6811112154
Some of the reviews say the hard drive cage is too close to the front intake fans
