| All the bezeles, no matter if 3.5'' or 5.25'', are fixed in the front by a "two point clamping" which makes exchanging drives childrens play. |

| Also with the side panels you'll find perfectly brushed aluminium as well as accurate fitting. At this point we have to mention that the side panels don't fit as accurately as with other more expensive cases from Lian Li. Despite this fact there are no vibration noises. If we take the side panel off we find lots of space to install hardware. All together you can install up to six 3.5'' and four 5.25'' drives. The aluminium plate in the top which elongates the drive bays can be annoying if you try to install a PSU without removing the top. | Up to four harddrives can be installed easily with the special screws delivered with the case. Once the screws are on the hard drive you can just push it into the cage and they fit very appropriately. Furthermore the rubbers also reduce vibrations crucially. |

| Also the PC-8's right side panel is perfectly decent manufactured. Furthermore you don't find, like with many other manufacturers, fan holes and ventilation slots at this place. This has advantages as well as disadvantages: on one hand the PC finally is more quiet and stability can be encreased but on the other hand the inside of your case isn't that well ventilated. At this point we have to mention that the ventilation in the PC-8 is good. | The cables from the I/O panel are more or less in the right length, depending on the array of the connections on the mainboard. On our installation we needed to sleeve the cables through the hard drive cage. |
