LIAN LI PC-Q08B Black Aluminum Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case

Pros: Nice, sleek black aluminum finish.
Fits standard parts and many hard drives.
Put in a normal optical drive, atx psu, 2 3.5" hard drives, a radeon 7770 (funny that only the pcie power plug made it long enough to need to remove the bottom cage), and still had good room to manage the cables. Can't say that about too many aluminum itx cases.

Cons: Dinky side panel screws. HORRIBLE idea.
Not tinker friendly --too much un/screwing needed to access anything (optical drive, side panels, psu, hdd tray, cage)
PSU directly over motherboard. Are people seriously still continuing with this methodology? Having to remove the psu everytime just to do something like add a sata cable is ludicrous.
Vibrations. Not the good kind. Think removing the bottom cage makes it worse.

Other Thoughts: Louder than I was expecting:
included top 120mm fan: LI121225BL-4 (1500 RPM, 56 CFM, 24.7 dBA, .27A)
included 140mm fan: LI121425QL-B4-A (1200 RPM, 63 CFM, 22.2 dBA, .24A)
depending on where you place the case, might want to switch out for a quieter fan. I'm putting it under my desk, and PWM controlling the 120mm to about <1000 rpm makes it unnoticeable (though that might kill the exhaust CFM), while the front fan seems loud. Gonna replace both, and no blue LEDs this time.
Fits up to 110cm cpu cooler. Won't fit a premium tower cooler, but not limited to low profile coolers.

Pros: arrived quickly. All the hardware needed is included. No sharp edges - Rolled for safety . Mini-ITX MB mounts easily. Holds full sized ATX PSU but, see below...

Cons: I Used EVGA SuperNOVA NEX650G modular PSU.
Good news - it mounted easily.
Bad news - with full drive cage in case, no room to plug in modular cords. I was able to remove the center drive cage and get everything plugged in, but only two 3.5in drive mount spots left. There was also a 2.5 in. spot under the optical drive mount, and I drilled screw holes for a second 2.5 in. mount on top of the bottom drive cage. PSU dimension in question is length. Just 7.1 in. available including wire routing!

Other Thoughts: If you're planning a NAS box make sure your PSU is short.
I made a small footprint desktop and this case is ideal!

Pros: So I bought this Mini case with thoughts of having it becoming my media server. It fits 6 3.5 drives and with a bonus space of 2.5 under the cd drive this is great

Cons: You have to unscrew a lot just to get inside of the PC

Other Thoughts: Great buy for a dual boot server

Pros: I love the small form factor after the huge tower I had from ibuypower. The fans are very quiet and the case holds my XFX DD 7950 with a teeny bit of room to spare.

I went with a Seasonic 650 power supply (because of the 120mm fan max) and was very thankful it was modular. Even then, the cords were waay longer than i needed and i had to shove them to the side of the hdd cage.

Cons: Power button wasnt completely installed on arrival. Had to pop it in. Not worth taking an egg away.

Other Thoughts: Dont forget to grab an SSD bracket if you are installing one.

Uber bright blue power button helped me decide to put the pc under the desk instead of on the desk.

Pros: While it is small per say I had no trouble fitting in a full sized PSU with a Corsair H50 CPU cooler and a EVGA GTX660 TI. I love how the side panels lay on the case and it is very slick looking.

Cons: Its not a con of the case but my choices with the case: I decided to have the PSU fan facing inwards to draw out ambient heat doing so put where all the cables came out towards the top of the case making it impossible to put in the HDD rack.

Simple fix I mounted it in the 5.25 slot, although I'm still a fan of a good ol DVD drive for my older games I will put one there after I take the HDD bracket and mod it to hold just one hard drive then it will fit perfectly.

A modual PSU is a good bet in this case but even with a PSU that had miles of cables I put them all right under the PSU, fit perfectly like the spot was made for them. The case has a nice air flow from the intake in the front to the exhausts in the back.

Other Thoughts: I have used a full tower steel made case for everything its so tough I can sit on it no worries and it is one of the largest towers I have ever seen. This case is small but I guess I was expecting it to be smaller then what it really is. Not a con as I needed something smaller to haul around and it is deffinetly lighter then the other case(~35-40 .lbs empty xD)

Pros: Small Foot Print
Excellent Cooling
Beautiful Minimal Design
Room for full sized PSU & Optical Drive
Room for all 6 of my WD Green Drives

Cons: Cable management is a bit hard to deal with when it comes to having such a small case. Hardly a con, goes with the territory. Otherwise... No Real Cons.

Other Thoughts: Perfect HTPC / Server combo. Paired with my Asus C60M1-I, 2GB DDR3, 6 WD Green HDDs powered by an Antec Earthwatts 360w PSU - uses 26w at idle & plays back everything. Great case..love it!

Pros: Great compact case, with 2 extra fans for airflow. Love it.

Cons: Tight working area.

Pros: Build Quality is great. No issues to speak of. 6 hard drives is great if you need it. Everything went together fine, just make sure to get a modular power supply.

Cons: I could do without the LED lit front fan but that is an easy fix.

Pros: Sturdy, simple, small, houses a full size ATX PSU and spots for six hard drives.

Cons: Blue fan's not for everyone, a little tall, screws on the sides are easy to strip.

Other Thoughts: Great case for a Mini-ITX system build with plenty of space for both PSU and the board. Using one for a NAS, I could see it as a great small desktop machine as well.

Pros: This review is just going to sound like all the others, but I had to come give this case a 5 eggs. I'm impressed, Lian-Li really puts a lot of good thought into their designs. I stuffed this case with a Gigabyte GA-H77N-Wifi, Gigabyte Geforce 660Ti, i5 3570K Ivy, Corsair 16GB RAM, and ThermalTake XT TPX-575M . What I like about the case:
- 140mm fans on front and top
- USB-3 ports on the front (plugs right to the motherboard)
- Room for a full sized (M)PSU
- 1 x 2.5 HDD mount
- Good airflow (well, I think so)
- Super quiet, if you have the right parts.

Cons: - Six screws to take off the side panel.
- No dust filters like on the PC-A04B
- Blue light on the fan (no biggie)
- Less use of thumb screws (if you forget something, you have to take the PSU out)

Other Thoughts: I can't remember if you can remove the right panel for easy access to the mother board, it not then that should be on the next version.
