Conclusion
| General | + | - | |
| The Lian Li PC-Z60 is a very well though, compact midi tower case. Especially the interior layout is very well done and one can see at a first glance that the engineers at Lian Li have thought a lot to make this case practical. We also like the hot swap cage for hard drives very much. This makes the installation of hard drives very comfortable. | - Design - Interior layout - Hot swap cages |

| Overall the build quality is on a very good level. The side panels could be a bit stiffer but on the other hand the thin material keeps the total weight low. We like the cooling concept of this midi tower. Cooling of the hard drives is separated from the rest of the case. Two 120 millimeter fans are there to keep HDD temperatures low. Otherwise there are two more 120 millimeter fans around the CPU socket. One you find in the top panel and the other is on the back of the case. Both fans move warm air out of the interior. The only downside we spotted concerns big aircoolers. We chose to install a Noctua NH-C14P and we were forced to remove the top fan. | - Build

| Lian Li provided the PC-Z60 with its characteristic desig. As usual you hairline brushed aluminium which creates a very nice surface and it therefore leaves a high qualitative impression. Generally the tower comes with a design which is nice to look at and targets a broad audience. Nevertheless the tower wont be overlooked at a LAN party. | - Design | ||
| Recommendation | + | - | |
| We can recommed the PC-Z60 to everybody who's looking for a midi tower which can cope with high-end hardware. The only thing one should be aware is that no every cooler available fits. | -
