Will this mid tower case accept a large full size graphics card or would I be better off for a full size tower?
Trying to make a first gaming build and heard certain graphics can be quite long.
Thanks

Max VGA Card length: 360mm
So obviously depends on the card you have or are considering.

as a guide one of the fastest air cooled 980ti cards with a 25% factory overclock the ZOTAC GeForce GTX 980 Ti AMP! Extreme, that uses 3 slots for width is only 328mm long, and the titan x is 280mm
TL:DR 360mm should be fine

I am a big fan of Lian-Li - lovely materials, usually good finish, externally at least, clean lines - but then they go and do strange self sabotage things in the details, the internals of that flap with the USB and audio being an example. Not a thing of great beauty, is it, looks like something from a cheap case. A lot of Lian-Li users, myself included, talk about the Apple-like effort in the engineering but looking at that flap, symmetry wise, the screw heads are perhaps a few mm too close to the flap, aren't in a perfect horizontal alignment with those sockets, the paint isn't quite the same shade around those screw heads. Where there might have been a third USB slot, the plastic looks rough rather than perfectly flat. The crude look of that plastic part makes me want to carefully remove it, remove the audio sockets and USB sockets, sand down the plastic part so that it's perfectly flat, powder coat paint it, reassemble and put it back together. And what is that bright shiny bit, a leaf spring? None of this stuff is important but it just bothers me, slightly, on an expensive case from a company famed for quality work. That the internals aren't black doesn't bother me as no one but myself would be likely to see inside.
Lian-Li are gorgeous and I can't find it even close to that price, anywhere. Very nice find. Have some more heat.

8.2kg? F'n 'ell, that's heavy. Looks like a good build, though.

I think thats the entire package including box it comes in etc. Net weight of 6.4kg seems like a better indicator.
These aluminium cases are very well engineered, less features than the competition but very worth the money if you can get it at this price. Bought the PC-7HX myself and was one of the best cases I've ever had. Heat added!

It's pretty light for a quality ATX case at 6.4KG, my H440 weights about 9.5KG IIRC.

The Define R4 that I have weighs just over 12kg empty. About half of that is the side panels with the noise insulation. Carrying it around with a full system inside isn't fun.

Worth considering :
Lian Li created the PC-B12’s front intake duct by moving its fans back and blocking the front of the case. This forced the company to move the hard drive cage closer to the motherboard tray, which in turn leaves no room for anything larger than a standard ATX motherboard. Unfortunately, many of today’s high-end motherboards are oversized.
Also silentpcreview described the air intake as hopelessly choked. Gonna give it a miss, shame though great price and looks really nice and I'd love a lian li case.

This is a huge case, when storage is the size of a memory stick, who needs it ?

ATX motherboards, multiple GPUs, water cooling, lots of storage etc. Sure you can get 1TB SSDs that take up no space but for the same price you'll get 8-12TB of traditional HDDs.
