Between the two Lian Li's....

For my next pc, I really dont know which one to get,

The BC-B24F or the Lancool K62

Which one has better ventilation and is it possible to add additional fans to the k62?

The Lancool K62 has the superior ventilation, airflow, and cooling.

Yes, you can add additional fans to the K62 but I recommend waiting and testing to determine if you really need additional fans.

Have you seen the K62 video reviews?

Who needs better vents? Your hot components do. Any good gaming case
are judged and rated on its performance and the majority of it comes on its
vents and cooling system. The more your case can provide proper ventilation
to cool the hot components inside your system the better those components
perform and the longer they last.

If these are the only two gaming case you prefer, then go for the one that
provides better cooling performance. If you would ask me which from these
two? I'll go for the Lancool K62 same as JohnnyLucky recommends.

But if you would ask me which are the latest and the best gaming case
that i could recommend that offers high cooling performance? Well,
based from the good reviews and awards they won and also from my
experience of setting up gaming rigs.

Hope this helps

This is why I always use lian-li cases. All those cases look crazy and not in a good way. Aluminum is better material than steel for disipating heat (sp). Seriously .... who actually wants colored lights in thier case these days.

It is like comparing a Benz to a Honda with the neon lights on the bottom. Honda is ok and will get you from point A to point B, but if you can afford it and have style youd be in the Benz.

I would go with the PC-B25F. Look at the reviews and the feature list. The only thing is I cannot find anyplace that has it in stock.

Nuff said.

I don't mind a *bit* of 'bling' with my builds, but I will not add neon fans or lights. In most cases I will remove them and opt for something that is more practical for my cause.

I like certain windowed cases, because it is true that high end components shouldn't be hidden--but it is more important to remember that adding lights and shiny bezels wont add performance

I prefer stealth style, all blacked out with 120mm fans and perhaps a single blue light if it happens to come in the PSU or something. Wont catch me adding cold cathodes and LED fans--no sir.

I like bling take a look at my rig:

I also drive a Mercedez Benze s430 2002 and a Range Rover Sport 2007.

Take a look at the new case from Lian Li B25f

and this one: PC-P50WB
http://www.lian-li.com.tw/v2/en/pr [...] dex=62&g=q

Anyone know where I can buy any of these two cases???????

Mark_K - I took a look at the Blue Ring B25f. It has the same problem as the BC-B24F. That front bezel lacks adequate ventilation and severely restricts air flow.

JohnnyL,

I think (hope) the ari flow will be fine.
Lian Li kind of know what they are doing.....I hope.

I really like this combo:
