Conclusion
| General | + | - | |
| With the PC-V354 Lian Li has has quite a spacious M-ATX/Mini-ITX case in its portfolio which is futhermore able to carry a total of seven 3.5 inch drives. Therefore this case is perfect for a homeserver which need to offer a lot of diskspace. It is for sure that also the manufacturing quality of this case is on a very high level. | |||
| Manufacturing quality / Ergonomics | + | - | |
| Regarding this case the manufacturing is as high as it always is with Lian Li cases and therefore they din't make anything wrong this time either. The fact that one can install up to seven 3.5 inch drive is very practical. We also appreciate the preinstalled 5.25 inch bezel which as a result creates a harmonic impression. Lian Li even integrated a fan controller into this compact case which is very useful in order to optimize the noise level. It was also a good idea to equip the V354 with a total of five slot bezels. This allows to even build a SLI/CrossFire setup. Unfortunately there also are things we didn't like about this case. For example there are the 16 screws which need to be removed until both side panel can be take off. In a time where thumb screws and click mechanisms are standard with high-end cases we would really appreciate it if Lian Li also equipped the PC-V354 with a practical solution. We would have also like this case to be a bit wider and therefore have a separate motherboard tray which has some space to the right side panel. Especially with such a small case it would be very useful to have a bit more space to hide cables. | - Manufacturing

| Recommendation | + | - | |
| Generally we can recommend the PC-V354 for quite a lot of things. It can of course be used to build a highly sophisticated NAS or home network server. On the other hand it can also be use as a multimedia PC, a gaming machine or simply a nice desktop PC. | - NAS - Multimedia PC - M-ATX-Gaming-PC - Desktop-PC |
