Every product in the world has a quality leader, and just maybe Lian Li fills that bill in the world of computer cases. This PC-61 model proves once again that attention to detail is key. With an aluminum construction – one with rolled and/or covered interior edges, polished surfaces and neatly turned thumbscrews, the PC-61 USB Cabinet is an attractive and sturdy case designed for ample storage capacity and quiet computing. This black case is ATX form compatible with a maximum size up to 12" x 9.6". Effective cooling is provided to the case by four 80mm fans, in addition any you might add for the processor and power supply. The speed of the two front intake fans can be adjusted manually for further internal temperature control.
The chassis has a removable motherboard tray that makes it easy for installing or changing cards and components. Despite being just about 8" wide, 17.7" high, and 19" deep, this ATX mid tower has ample room for storage and system upgrades. With four external 5.25" drive bays, three external 3.5" bays, five internal 3.5" bays, and seven expansion slots, the case is ready to hold everything you’ve got. Enhanced connectivity is achieved by means of the two USB 2.0 ports at the front.

Sweetness
- Pros: Nice finish. PSU removable from rear. removable MB tray. Light but sturdy. Lots o' thumbscrews. Adapter to mount HD's horizontal if you want. Front panel easily removed. Variable front fan speed controller. Double intake, top and rear exhaust fans and not very loud.
- Cons: Mounting cd drives and the like could be easier if there were supports to hold them up while you put them in. 80mm fans. Only 2 front usb ports and no front audio inputs. (Never used them anyway)
- Other Thoughts: There is a reason this case has been around this long. No flimsly aluminum and plastic like everything else out there. Still cool after all these years.
Excellent!
- Pros: Ive never built a computer before, and I was worried I would get the wrong case, but hell I could not have picked a better one! Almost everything is removeable. The front cover flips on and off with ease, the back comes off just by unscrewing the large case screws, and the harddrive tray, mobo deck can all come out easily to be worked on. It's also very spacious inside, I know because im using high end gear to build my new gaming computer.
- Cons: Instructions were not geared towards new comers, but if I can do it im sure you could to.

Solide case, very nice
- Pros: Very solid case, very nice. lots of drive bays both internal and external. I'd love to add something else to the case but all the connections on the mobo are used up!!! No sharp edges anywhere, well thought out.
The case is quiet, solid and well fitted together. Really like the air filter in the front of the case.
- Cons: Only two USB ports on front, no other ports. Could be added in one of the expansion bays though.
- Other Thoughts: I had never built my own computer before and spent a lot of time reading reviews before I bought the parts. Would definitely use Lian Li again. I love Neweg's web site. They make it very easy to find what I need!
80 mm
- Pros: Lian-Li quality
- Cons: Seriously, who's buying this type of case these days: 80 mm fans all around!!
- Other Thoughts: Early 1990's design.
Nice case, but!
- Pros: No bandaids/ screwdiver required:) A true work of art:)
- Cons: None, well maybe 1 (see below)
- Other Thoughts: I don't know why but the front 2 usb ports, when connected to my GIGABYTE GA-EG45M-UD2H LGA 775 Intel G45 HDMI Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail, prevent the board from booting up; I need to not connect them for the board to work.
However, since there are so many usb ports on the back it is a minor issue:)
I love this case:)
