I think it goes without saying that if you ask anyone who the two major players are as far as high-quality aluminum computer cases are they will tell you without hesitation Cooler Master and Lian Li.   So lets say you're ready ready to buy an aluminum case and you have decided it's a choice between Cooler Master and Lian Li, what is the biggest difference between the two other the designs? 

From where I sit, I would say the price, using the current Newegg price listing as an example the prices shown for Cooler Master cases ranged from $85.00 up to $165.00 for the new Stacker series case.  Turning to the Lian Li side of the fence we start at roughly the same place ($80.00) but end up at dizzying height of $290.00 for the PC-V2100A.  That figures out to a price difference of $115.00 which is a huge amount of money unless you happen to be employed by Halliburton.

The case we are looking at today is the Cooler Master Wave Master Special Edition, it derives the special edition name from the special paint job applied to this particular case, for this one the Model EY it is a Canary Yellow.
