Features
Lian Li Fine Craftmanship Product Lian Li manufactured ARMORSUIT PC-P50 in Taiwan. The quality and craftsmanship are outstanding. With accolades and awards stretching back for the last two decades due to the unique combination of hand-crafted aspects with advanced machinery. The complete effort used to create every Lian Li chassis is clearly evident in the superior craftsmanship to be found in each one.
The hardware installation with ARMORSUIT PC-P50 is very easy and simple. The front panel and top panel are detachable and they can be removed without tools.
The new ARMORSUIT PC-P50 is targeted for the LAN party gamers. It is a mid-tower case, which is ideal for the latest graphics cards in combination with the best thermal dynamics. All the internal installation can be done without tools, and is easily adjustable to optimize your hardware setup. Especially in the advent of adding in new graphics cards, equipped with 8 PCI slots, can hold three or more graphics cards, supports CrossfireX and 3-way SLI
The new internal layout has the motherboard on top of the power supply unit, which allows for easier access to the motherboard as well as more room above, thus larger CPU coolers can be used. The power supply unit at the button of the case is cooled with fresh cool air directly from the outside of the case, instead of pre-heated air from within. This will bring down the core temperatures and extend the lifespan of the PSu significantly.
To install motherboard require no tools, use tool-less screw to screw a motherboard on case, easily and quickly.

Nice Case8/15/2009 7:59:12 PM
Pros: Tool less design, the PSU lockdown mechanism is great, but you'll freak when you see how good the expansion card holders work. Very lightweight. Better air flow than expected. Movable hard drive cage. Nice clean look to the case. Reset button is your HDD activity light as well, looks cool. Sides go on solidly, even for thin aluminum. Mesh behind the front drive bay covers.
Cons: If you have an eight pin motherboard connector, you have to unscrew the secondary top to get the power connector to pass through the top hole. Rear fan slot has rubber grommets that fit into bigger than normal screw holes. If you lose a grommet, forget using regular fan screws. They should have included a bottom cut out for a fan, you can fit one there in front of the PSU. The usual top to bottom opening between your motherboard tray and the front drive bays is a little tight and hard to pass connectors through. Front drive bay covers aren't super tight and you need to work with them a little to get a flush front. More rear holes for zip ties are needed for better cable management.
Overall Review: I would definitely recommend this case, but just couldn't give it 5 stars. The case just needs a little tweaking. Lian Li put some really super ideas into the build, but it's almost like they forgot some of the small stuff in the process. It is roomy though for it's dimensions, which helped me out because I put a water cooling system into it. All in all I'm happy with the purchase, but was just expecting a little more from Lian Li.
Pros: +Dust Filters everywhere
+Rubber mounts for fans
+Easy quiet hard drive module
+Easy Cable management
+Quiet Fans(Slow speed might be a con for some)
+Power/HD lights integrated into buttons.(HD for reset)
+Thumb screws for motherboard
+Spare parts, extra rubber grommets as replacements.
+PCI bracket clamp is ingenious
+5 1/4 lock hinge
+No Plastic
Cons: -No removable mother tray
-No 3 1/2 adapters(I knew this and don't need them)
-No eSATA connection.
Overall Review: I couldn't be happier with this case, I have been hunting for a case for a long time and this has always been either a flaw or outrageous price that would keep me from buying it.
The one downfall this case had is it has 3 HD mounts which can easily be fixed by buying the LIAN LI EX-332N HDD Mount Kit, to bad it adds another $30 to the price.
Pros: Lian Li is known for quality cases and the PC-P50 is no exception. The PC-P50 is one of the few cases to offer 8 or more expansion slots and the toolless retention system is the best I've seen.
Cons: Non-removable motherboard tray.
Overall Review: If you have an EVGA X58 SLI Classified, then this is the case you need if you are using 4 video cards. A word of caution: get SATA cables with right angle connectors as the cards sit very close to HDD/Optical drives.
V-10 will fit in this case but again right angle SATA connectors are needed.
Pros: Where to begin... Easy to install into, more than enough room for components even oversized GPU's, all aluminum, quiet as in my HD write noise is louder than the fans but both get drowned out by my neighbors dog. Excellent cable management, if it weren't for the odd placement of the audio connector on my gigabyte mobo there would be no cables at all over my mobo itself other than the ones used for fans. Also it looks cool, and thats all that really counts right?
Cons: I had to RMA my first one because I got a bad header on the pin to connect the power switch to the mobo. This sucks but sometimes things happen considering the condition the box was in might not have even been a manufacturing issue. Thanks UPS :)!!! By the way newegg I hear Fed Ex delivers things fast too, just saying...
Overall Review: Bottom mounted psu makes it hard to connect cables to your mobo's power (4 or 8 pin) as length may be an issue. The previous user is dead on about his assessment of the 8 pin as well. Hd cage will not have enough clearance to be removed after you install the power supply, just something to keep in mind for those looking to expand in the future. With the 40 dollar special I ordered this with the value is pretty much through the roof. If it weren't for the RMA I would give it 5.
Pros: Excellent case! I love all the cooling and noise-absorbing features. This case is very light compared to most. Just the right size for all of my components, but wouldn't want it much smaller.
Cons: I had a little trouble at first with the motherboard being grounded to the case which resulted in not being able to power on the computer. This minor issue was solved easily. I wish it was easier to purchase an extra hdd cage. I am having difficulty finding a place that sells them. I only want one for the extra intake fan.
Overall Review: The Cooler Master RR-B10-212P-GP 120mm CPU cooler lines up pretty well with the exhaust fan on this case. My CPU stays at 30c.

Pros: -Completely tool-less enclosure
-Light for a case this size
-Rubber grommets on all screws and fans, padding on clamps
-Cable organization provisions are fantastic
-Dust filters everywhere
-Case is amazingly quiet for having this many fans
-HD, PSU, and PCI card clamps are phenominal!
-High quality aluminum
-Plenty of cooling ability
-CPU cooler mounting plate cutout in tray
Cons: -non-removable mobo tray
-side-panel tab/slot slides could be a lot better
-non-compartmentalized heat zones like V1000 series
Overall Review: Out of the box, the top fan cover had a broken tab. Very disappointing as this was the first panel I removed. Nothing that some plastic epoxy couldn't fix, but still. Definitely not worth going thru the nightmarish and costly NewEgg RMA process!
The front and top panels remove very easily and have a very satisfying click when replaced. This case is light but that contributes to a general feeling of cheapness compared to my V1200 case which is very heavy. Mobo tray is non-removable but that's ok because there's plenty of room to work around inside. My P6t deluxe V2 and Noctua cooler fit no problem. Full-length vid cards fit adequately but sit a little too close to the board for me. The SATA connections and CHA_FAN plug wire get squashed.
I considered this case, the V1110, Antec 902, PC-B25, and Cosmos. Very happy with my decision.
Pros: Very lightweight, lots of room for a midtower, Good Ventilation, High quality, Beautiful fit and finish, fits even the longest video cards, Very quet fans.
Cons: None
Overall Review: I have been looking for cases for quite a while and i never found a case that i liked. Finally i looked at this one and there is no other word to describe it other than perfect. It does everything you need it to with simplicity and elegance.
Pros: Plenty of spots for fans. pretty much tool less unless your picky and have to change some things.
The case feet are awesome the case is just a work of art.
Im not even proud of my wire managment job because it was too easy in this case.
the drive bay covers have removable screens in them.
Cons: The fans are soooo weak
Overall Review: Awesome case I dont even mind replacing fans because this case is so perfect.
Pros: Tool less design, the PSU lockdown mechanism is great, but you'll freak when you see how good the expansion card holders work. Very lightweight. Better air flow than expected. Movable hard drive cage. Nice clean look to the case. Reset button is your HDD activity light as well, looks cool. Sides go on solidly, even for thin aluminum. Mesh behind the front drive bay covers.
