The
front I/O ports are concealed behind a simple door which to those of you that
haven't used one before they simply operate with a little 'click'. One nice touch is the
ability to plug the front ports in using standard pin outs or via separate leads
for a nonstandard pin out, this kind of non-proprietary is one of the many
positive aspects of Lian Li ownership
Up and
running, the 120mm fans run cool and quiet. Even without the top fan the
PC-7A Plus moves a good volume of air which is more than sufficient for most of
us overclockers out there. It is easy to visualize a full
120mm radiator in the back for a good size radiator for those water cooling fans. The clean
aluminum finish
provides a simple elegance that we have come to expect from all Lian Li
products.
Pros:
- High Quality
workmanship
- Extremely light
weight construction
- Removable PS
and drive bays
- Efficient,
quiet airflow
- I/O ports and
versatile cabling
- Offset tool
provided
Cons:
- Not Tool less
- No 80mm
included
- Cost
- Every other
case feels cheap in comparison
Conclusion:
Lian Li has produced some of the
most sought after high end Aluminum cases on the market. The PC 7A Plus is
no exception. The quality of the chassis is peerless and a joy to work with.
My only disappointment is the lack of a tool less install option. The clean look
and extraordinary weight of the PC-7A make this case an easy recommend!
