Even at the Computex trade show we were able to get acquainted with the Lian Li PC-Q35 case. Today we received a press release stating the release of this case in the Mini-ITX/mini-DTX format with seven drive bays.
Lian Li PC-Q35 is a perfect chassis for NAS-systems because it accommodates five 3.5" and two 2.5" hard drives. Removable HDD-cart takes three of the five 5.25" bays and the body enters two optical drives. Basket drives are cooled with 120-mm fan. It can be installed by deploying 180 degrees. Lockable front door does not only provides sound insulation, but also prevents accidental pressing of on/off button. Moreover, it gives the front a very neat appearance.
Despite the modest volume of 29.2 liters (with dimensions 210 x 305 x 456 mm), if you remove the basket drives, Lian Li chassis can accommodate up to 200mm length video card, Apower supply can be up to 20 cm, and CPU cooler's height should not exceed 9.5 cm area around the CPU-socket cooled by a 120mm fan located on the housing cover. Water cooling system can be set here with 120mm radiator. I/O panel with two USB 3.0 ports and audio jacks is not very convenient, since it is located at the bottom of the right pane.
Lian Li reports that PC-Q35 chassis is available now in black and silver versions for a suggested retail price of 129 euros.
