Hi,

I have a Lian Li PC-70 case bought many years ago. It is still in good condition - no rust and little scratches, and I also have all the screws for it. Modern casing now comes with a bottom mounted PSU and are longer to accommodate the graphics cards now. It will be a waste to just throw away my PC-70 casing and I will like to ask he experts here if I could still build a decent mid-range system with this casing?

Thanks.

Most modern mobos are still ATX, EATX or micro ATX, which your tower has attachment points for.
And it'll fit most graphics cards just fine. I don't know of any GPUs that are longer than that, although I'm sure there's one or two. Just keep the 390 mm max length in mind when choosing one.

The bottom vs top mounted PSU thing shouldn't bother you much for a mid-range system. There's minor improvements in thermal, stability and noise for bottom mounted that shouldn't affect you.

Should not be a problem to keep it.
