LIAN LI PC-Q01A Silver Aluminum Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case

Pros: -Very clean design -Lian Li "sticker" is optional (keep that clean look) -No sharp edges -Very easy to work in if you think things through -Motherboard stand-offs provide a little room for running cables -Rubber vibration suppression feet for hard drives work well. -Rubber feet also make hard drive removal easy -Enough of the rubber feet to mount 4 drives -USB 3.0 in front is nice -Including USB 3.0 to 2.0 converter if your motherboard doesn't have 3.0 headers is also nice. -Includes speaker -Screw holes to mount power supply upside down or right side up. -Case is incredibly light yet... -feels sturdy when put together -I got 30 of these total (15 black and 15 silver) and they were all in perfect condition. -Very quiet case.

Cons: -No optical drive slot (if you need one) -Not a lot of clearance for CPU fan (stock fan has plenty of room) -Discrete graphics card might be hard to cool (I didn't use one)

Overall Review: -CPU cooling is nice with CPU fan blowing into intake of power supply and out the case. This seems to work very well. Neither fan ever seems to be working hard at all. -Some photos show 2 additional screws that I worried had to be removed to get inside. These (tiny) screws hold 2 clips in place and are not removed to open the case.

Pros: Great LIAN LI quality build, made of aluminum. Looks great Supports ATX PSU Small size

Cons: Small size No exhaust fan Little room for the cpu cooler

Overall Review: Overall it's a great case. It fits perfectly all my needs . I run i5-4460 with GTX 750Ti. Everything stays cool as long you will install a case fan on the bottom. Great value for the price IMHO

Pros: Used this to build a computer for my girlfriends dad. Turned out great, everything was easy to setup. Overall it's solidly build and although at first touch, the metal felt thing, it's actually very durable and not as thin as I thought after inspecting the insides.

Cons: Only thing I wish was that they would make a more premium button as it feels somewhat plastic and cheap. Also, this will not fit huge cpu coolers, so plan for something lower smaller.

Overall Review: Overall excellent case and solidly built. Would buy again.

Pros: Beautiful brushed aluminum finish. Small and classy. Lian Li quality is always high. No logo.

Cons: Cable management is difficult. With everything in place, cables block airflow from the 120mm fan I added to the bottom from reaching the CPU.

Overall Review: 9.5/10

Pros: -Attractive case. -Small, but with plenty of room to fit everything I needed. -All aluminum! -Cheap! Cheap! Cheap!

Cons: -Cable management was a bit of a challenge. -My power supply (Seasonic G series) barely fit.

Overall Review: A modular power supply is an absolute must with this case. Without one, and you'll have a cable management nightmare on your hands. I got this thing when it was on sale and had an additional 20% off coupon. At the price I paid, this thing is amazing, and even at the regular price it is quite a bargain. NewEgg was great as usual. Fast shipping, and a great deal!

Pros: Slick look, lightweight, very clean and low profile. USB 3.0 on the front, 2 expansion slots in the back for a full size graphics card. Instructions are informative, even include an accurate parts list.

Cons: very thin light weight aluminum. Feels very fragile, however when the case is assembled it plays out pretty nice. Only place to put a fan is at the bottom of the case. Because the hard drives mount flat against the side or bottom of the case power cables can be a little hard to connect. You will need to use SATA connectors where the wires come out of the back of the connector or the correct side. I ended up modifying one from my power supply and turned the wires around the other way so it would connect to the hard drive's power connector. I took off one star because the aluminum is not as thick as I was expecting, took off another star for the cooling fan situation. I feel like Lian Li could have done a better job with fan design.

Overall Review: Used this case to make a PC for my boss. He has been using Dell computers since I've known him and after his last one died I finally convinced him to let me make him something that would last more that a year. I chose this case to give him something clean and low profile. I used an ASUS mobo, i7 cpu, 8GB ramm, 430W psu, 250GB SDD. Perfect, tiny build for someone who mostly uses the web and microsoft office. Case is doing the job, however I've used Lian Li in the past and was expecting the aluminum to be thicker and more robust. This whole case was fragile and while it was easy to put a PC together in it, I felt like I had to take it very easy on it. The description says it will accommodate 2 x 2.5 Hard Drives and 2 x 3.5 Hard Drive. It will but know that two drives are placed in the inside of the front bezel an and the other two have to be placed on the floor of the case. I have the SSD in my build mounted on the inside of the front bezel. Despite what the description says there is only one location to add cooling fans and that is on the bottom of the case. Not idea, but would work fine with the nice standoff feet that the case has. Note, that if you add a cooling fan you cannot install hard drives on the bottom of the case. This would limit you to two hard drives overall. I ended up using the bottom of the case for cable management so I really can't imagine installing a fan at the bottom that blows up into the case. Also the only exhaust you get is through the power supply, not ideal, but works ok for my build.

Pros: - Portable and lightweight - 4 mounting options for your storage - Plenty of room for all your components

Cons: - No mounting brackets for fans or cross ventilation

Overall Review: This is a great ITX case. Easy to get inside the case to make your modifications. My only complaint is that ventilation is a challenge. Fan placement is difficult and not really ideal to have air being brought in from the bottom. I prefer not having to mount tfans o the removable portion of the case. As I write this and finalizing this build, the best option is to mount both fans behind the front plate where you can mount storage to have the air pushed out the rear of the case.

Pros: It's nice looking. It's cheap. It's compact. It's light.

Cons: It's not the most solid metal in the world. SATA cable power connectors need to be "shoved in" when using HD mounting brackets. It's not the easiest case to cool. I put in a 7700k -- notoriously hot -- with a Corsair H60. This made for a clean build and idle temps in the mid-high 40s/creeping into the low 50s. With a less hot CPU, a normal HSF, and a bottom case fan, temps will be better. Just be prepared to work a little on cooling to balance temperatures and noise, especially with faster (hotter) CPUs. None of these are deal breakers.

Overall Review: Do yourself a favor and buy a SFX PSU with an SFX ATX adapter. It will make keeping a clean case a lot easier. I used a dedicate GPU, but a low-profile single-slot card (Geforce 740) which works great. I wouldn't be able to do a H60 with a dual slot card. I think if you want a dual slot GPU you need a bigger case w/ better cooling options.
