Application: ATX Mid Tower Case

     The First time I saw a Lian Li case, I was enthralled with the whole "clean" look of the case. Being a car buff I have always appreciated the clean look of a nice car without a bunch of weird colors and stickers. Its nice to see someone at Lian Li have the same idea. The "clean-look" is what Lian Li is all about, and from what I can tell the execution of the final product is astonishing and just seems to get better every time Lian-Li releases a new model in their PC series.

     The PC-65B is basically a PC-65 but with an anodized black finish for all those black case fanatics out there.. I myself prefer the regular aluminum look, but it was interesting to observe some of the compliments I was receiving from just regular people. I found it rather strange that over half of the people that I knew actually wanted to know what this black case was. I even managed to acquire a client as a result of this case, rather strange...

     Anyway, on to the case!

Product Specification:

DIMENSION:210x450x490mm(W,H,D)
Black-colored (HARD ANODIZE)

Product Feature / Commentary:

Drive bays 4x5.25",3x3.5",5x3.5" internal
Fan:4 bearing fans included
M/B type: ATX & Pentium 4 (MAX SIZE: 12"x9.6")
Front USB:2 ports (support USB 2.0)

     The first impression of a Lian Li is the impeccable workmanship involved. We all know that most computer hardware is not assembled by hand but you would have a tough time thinking that when you first see a Lian Li. They way everything goes together, the fit, finish, and attention to detail is what makes Lian Li stand out from most case manufacturers. Of course all this comes at a price, but in most cases (no pun intended) if you want the best you will not be disappointed. Even the anodization of this case is perfect. There are no surface imperfections at all, even trying to scratch the anodized surface is difficult! The bottom line is that when you spend the money on a case like this you expect to be somewhat critical of what you blew your hard-earned dough, but once you inspect the whole case you'll learn like I did that a Lian Li case is definitely worth every penny!
