Re: MBP. Finally.

I have not had a single issue with any software, driver, etc.

That's an understood though. It's never been an argument against Apple being quality as they are the only ones that design their hardware to work with their software. But then... that's so simple that many people are too stupid to even understand that.

Re: MBP. Finally.

I have a feeling that Apple would have put more effort into making sure that sort of thing wasn't an issue, too.

Glossy screens are designed for low light conditions. If you don't have a workspace where you're constantly in low light, don't get the glossy. Idiot proof.

Attention to detail is, IMO, what really separates Apple products from other consumer electronics.

As long as you don't include Lian-Li in that one, then we know you're not a liar. Lian-Li kills everyone in case hardware form and functionality.
Now if only we could get Apple to work with them...

Brainwashed by public-hype eh beaner ? Lian-Li's alright but bang for buck in the same league, there's darn good chances you'll run into another case manufacturer who's spitting out products just as good (if not better).

No brainwashing here. I own a few of their cases and have for over five years. I've known people to get the Silverstone, CoolerMaster, etc. and they just aren't built as well. CoolerMaster had several issues with making their cases too thick, years ago, so the heat didn't dissipate (sp?) fast enough and overall temps. suffered. Many of their cases aren't designed well for easy custom configurations but they do have some excellent models. I honestly haven't run into many cases that are so well manufactured and so easy to work with. They cool well, they're quiet and very sturdy.
What other cases do you have experience with that would be good, if not better?

I quoted this because I noticed that it appeared blank on my end. Is there some setting I should have turned on in order to see this?

That's odd, probably doesn't allow linking. Nothing much, just a fan girl who's been named Mac Chick for July 07.

Re: MBP. Finally.

Ha. I had some crazy issue with it over the weekend. Drove me nuts. I got it back from apple and everything was golden. It was just being freaky of course could have been my issue because I have touched everything I could. Anyway, the support was tres excellent sold me on buying the three year. They have such super service. I just left my laptop there and the guy fixed it. Love the apple, die by apple.

Re: MBP. Finally.

You couldn't just have fixed it yourself?

Don't get me wrong, I too have been a solid believer of Lian Li products based on the sheer volume of positive reviews I've read about them. However, I personally have not owned a Lian Li or any other "known" brand for that matter.

A few months before I bought my laptop, I was considering getting a new case for my old PC and during the course of my searching, I ended up reading an enormous number forums / reviews / first hand accounts from people who were Lian Li owners and moved on to experiment with different brands. An extremely high number of the reviews I read said the new products they tried worked just as good (if not better) and were slightly cheaper than their earlier Lian Li counterparts.

That's when my opinion of Lian Li swayed off.

Since "cooling" topped my list of considerations in wanting to buy a case, this was one of the 3 I considered.

Granted its a little expensive but you'll see with the reviews how well it performs. There's also a review from a prior Lian Li owner in there

Pros: Not listed but has built in temp gauge with blue LED digits. Looks awesome. Tons of space, very easy access, no sharp edges, completely tool-less including drive mounts (FDD, HDD, 5.25). Has a built in tool box for case extras which can be easily removed if needed. I thought it was going to be loud but is actually unusually quiet. This is the BEST case I've ever had and my last case was a Lian Li.
