Styling is a matter of opinion but when it comes down to quality and function the Lian wins hands down in my opinion.
I've owned several Lian cases and two Thermaltack ones and allthough the Lians are more costly i think you get a lot more for your money - the A71b is a great choice for air and watercooling.

Lian-Li every time.

They are just built better than anything Thermaltake make.

Also, check out Lian-Li's other full towers, there's some excellent designs.

What kind of cooling will you be using and what gear will you be putting in it?

i´m goint to stay @aircooling, but in my midi tower isnt enough space for more than 3 HDDS behind my 9800gtx its to big.

lets say about 2 CD Drives, 5 HDDS, enough space for a good airstream

Go for the Lian I have it. It's a great case, plenty of room inside and it comes with 6 fans as standard. Also if you do decide to go with water cooling at some point then you won't have any issues, I'm currently running 2 loops in mine....

Great case with great quality.

Are you going to use old kit? I've found it hard to find the old CD drives it is all SATA these days so that would mean you'd need a mobo with at least 7 SATA ports. I'm going to have external DVD on USB!

@neo: thx for info

@jolli: i have got a fxi x48 t2 lt, actually i dont know if it has 6 or 6 Sata ports, IDE would only CD/DVD be
