Enclosures from Lian Li are always something special. It’s rare that computer cases are being manufactured according to such high standards. As expected we find perfectly made aluminum parts. All panels have been hairline brushed and the chassis itself is stiff. A quick look at the specifications table shows that this case weighs 5.25 kilogram, which is not light for an aluminum case this size. This also means Lian Li has not made any compromise in terms of material thickness and therefore the overall quality is very high.
As we already mentioned the left side panel as well as the front have been made from tempered glass. Both glass panels are kept in place thanks to four flat-headed thumb screws. Looking at the interior layout we see that this case is only compatible with mini-ITX motherboards.
The I/O connectors have been integrated into the front, while next to two USB3.0 ports there are two 3.5 millimeter jacks to connect headphones and microphone. Right next to the 3.5mm jacks there is the power button. Lian Li decided to not equip this case with a reset button, which appears to become a trend lately, having seen this on other cases as well. |
