Lian Li

Reviewed By: on 11/10/2009

Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Great looking case. Used this to build my DAW for Pro tools and ableton. Case fans are quiet.

Cons: Not much room for heatsink. Finally picked up a coolmaster hyper 520. Fits perfect and cools my i7 920 down to 28 celcius with case closed. Now if I could just get these software developers to support 64 bit.

Other Thoughts: Hated the red led for HD disconnected it first day. Case doesnt look as sexy with drives in bays. Recommend manual fan controls if you want this case silent.

Awesome case

Reviewed By: Russ on 11/9/2009

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Sleek design, inside and out. Comes with two fans that are pretty quiet. Easy to hook up the front panel components, except that my audio ports do not reach from the front, all the way to the back (where it plugs into the mobo). Not a huge deal considering my sound system has headphone jacks closer to where I sit anyways.

Cons: If you use huge video cards, you may have to remove one of the fans. I'm trying to figure out how to mount it a few inches back so I can keep cooling on my components.

Solid Build but rather Deep

Reviewed By: eRock on 10/28/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: I just completed a build/burn in on a new HTPC system and here are my thoughts:

The overall design of the case is open on the inside, it was easy to install a full size ATX motherboard and all the accessories with limited issue. For the most part, everything is tool-less and there are many sound dampening features. This was a very easy and straight forward assembly.

Cons: Three main issues with the case:

The depth is 20" meaning you will likely NOT be able to fit this system in your home entertainment stand. It is listed as 20" width but it is defintely 20" from the power button up front to the power button on the rear power supply.

The drive tray for the optical/front 5.25" is not compatible with the universal Lian Li optical drive cover.

Not sure who's fault this is but when I recieved the case it had one of the middle rail fans banging around while it was shipped and had come off of it's mounting screws.

Other Thoughts: Overall very solid build as long as you are prepared for the points mentioned in the first two cons.
