The second most impressive feature of this case is the 4000w laser cut side panel. The huge spider is one of the coolest window mods I've seen. The "ATi CrossFire X" theme may not be for everyone, but you don't have to be an ATi fanboy to appreciate the cool factor.

The front of the case is quite a bit different than most cases you've seen. With the PC-P80R you not only get a locking door, but the door is reversible so that it may open from the left or right side. The door also has a rubber seal which helps protect from metal to metal contact which also absorbs any vibration from the three cooling fans. Lian Li has taken a unique approach to cooling. The front door houses three large 140mm LED cooling fans. Lian Li has integrated a removable filter that slides up and out of the door for easy cleaning.

All together there are a total of five cooling fans; three 140mm fans in the front door, another 140mm fan in the top (blow hole), and then a single smaller 120mm fan in the rear.

The three front and single top fan are controlled by a linear fan speed controller which is mounted in the front of the case. The rear fan is not controlled by the fan speed controller therefore will run at full speed 100% of the time. However, all of the fans are nearly silent even when at 100% so noise isn't really a factor here.
