Exterior

 







The case was securely packed and had no physical damage from shipping. This particular case proudly displays the name "Lian Li" integrated into the bottom of the case.




Packaged with the case, Lian Li pamphlets greet you with their other products as well as the installation guide in Chinese and English. The installation guide is very helpful and detailed so that any novice can correctly install it.







The wheels and axles are made from complete aluminum on the simple machine shown. The last picture shows the braking mechanism that halts the back wheels from moving.




Air holes like these are perforated throughout the case.




On the edges of the side panels, the aluminum is cut into ridges like a serrated blade. Therefore, I recommend not running your finger up and down on it repeatedly. As you can see, this picture clearly shows the case is anodized in a type I fashion with chromic acid.




Found on the bottom front of the case are the inclusion of the Mic, Line out, 2 USB 2.0 ports, and one 1394 port. I personally dislike the Mic and Line out port because a true computer enthusiast would not use those ports. A true enthusiast would instead purchase an expansion card, like the Audigy series.




The inclusion of the aluminum bezel is a nice touch for those who wish to have a matching faceplate without having to paint the bezel or having to buy an aluminum bezel.




The same can be said to the 5 ¼" bay panel that comes with the case. This addition adds a nice touch, and in my books, is a nice way to score some brownie points.







The power button as well as the power and hard drive activity light are discreetly placed and are a beautiful site to look at because they do not impair the case's overall looks. There is no other button except that button and the header is labeled as the reset switch.




In essence, this case is basically an ATX case, flipped right upside down. From the power supply on top, is now situated on the bottom. One wouldthe case through the left side panel is now the right.




To install the ATX power supply you have to remove the thumbscrews of that plate and attach the powersupply to the plate.




A Lian Li sticker with model number is found on the 120 mm duct.




With the duct removed, we can see the 120 mm fan, same fan as the intake.




To reduce noise from the fan vibrations and causing resonance which is prone to in Aluminum cases, Lian Li included rubber washers on all four of the mounting holes.







Probably one of the most annoying things about computers is the loss of a screw/thumbscrew when you are in an awkward position to put that side panel on and you drop that screw which probably bounces all over the place and you will never find it. Fortunately, Lian Li has done away with that through integrated the thumbscrew right into a rod that locks the side panels together. This my friends, props go to Lian Li's R&D excellent design.
