Lian Li has been at the very top of the computer chassis industry for the past seven years, and they have a tradition of releasing well designed products. On very rare occasions the manufacturer builds a product that is later pulled from production, and this is one of them. Benchmark Reviews has inspected the all new PC-A58B Black Aluminum Alloy Mid-Tower ATX Case, and we won't be pulling any punches when we state our results.

There's a good reason as to why Lian Li has been at the very top of the computer chassis industry for the past seven years; they have upheld a tradition of producing well designed products. Just as popular for their craftsmanship, the Lian Li company has a history of ingenious application of aluminum in their products. Benchmark Reviews has inspected the all new PC-B25B Black Aluminum Mid-Tower ATX Case, and we offer a public view of our results.

After nearly 15 years of producing high-quality, beautifully-finished, aluminium system cases, Lian-Li has the sort of fanatical following that money can?t buy. We're checking out the company's latest range, starting with the 'budget' model, the sub-£90 PC-A12, to see if the reputation is still deserved.

Despite this being a desktop or HTPC case, the PC-C32 is quite large. This is because it supports a full-size ATX motherboard and standard ATX PSU - no being stuck with a microATX motherboard or weird PSU form factor. The downside to this, is of course that the case isn't as slim as some others out there, and may not blend in with your HT setup. The dimensions of the case are 426 x 167 x 530mm or about 17" x 6.5" x 21" (WxHxD); for rackmount purposes this corresponds to a 4U size. (1U is about 1.75" thick) The depth in particular isn't well-shown on Lian-Li's site; with a depth of 21", you'll want to make sure that this case can fit where you want to put it!

The V350 is a tough case to adopt a final position on and it's not made any easier by the fact that there isn't any pricing info available until the case launches in the next month or so. The V350 is a good looker which is both inoffensive and stylish, something which is a bit of a rarity for fashion nowadays. At the same time though it?s not easy to install a system in and could be described as a headache in a box. The performance isn?t great either and the limitations imposed by the design cause further problems by restricting what hardware can be used.

Ever find that you never seem to have enough room in your chassis? Then it's time to get a full sized tower. Lian Li has several large towers, and now they have a new one - the PC-A70. Today we'll take a look at the new PC-A70 from Lian Li and see if it's worthy of the Lian Li brand name.

Lian Li are well known for their prowess at forging PC cases from aluminium. We've seen their desktop towers, and so today I have a horizontal desktop enclosure with the possibility of it being mounted in a server rack. Hopefully it carries on the same design and quality of the other Lian Li offerings.

All in all, I like this HDD kit a lot. Yeah, there are some shortfalls that should and can be addressed by Lian Li. But short of fitting my thick Papst fan in, I'm pretty satisfied by it. It is well-built, really easy to install and spaces out the drives pretty well (for better cooling).

And this is the essence of the B25 - a case which isn't about being the coolest or the quietest, just about being the most stylish. The B25 stands out for excellent build quality and design, not for technical performance. There's no word on pricing just yet, not even any indicated on the official Lian-Li website yet, but it should be coming within the next few weeks and we can hardly wait for a chance to pick one up ourselves.

We've tested a couple of Lian Li's aluminium creations, both of which were met with open arms. However, neither of these cases catered for the extreme user who counts more as better. Well today I have the Lian Li PC-A71 top case which features enthusiast extras such as water cooling grommets, six 120mm fans and enough HDD bays to have 10 terabytes of storage. Sounds interesting?

What can be said about Lian-Li? I have always felt their name was synonymous with quality, style, and shiny brushed aluminum. Lian-Li's own website describes the company as one of the largest and most reputable manufacturers of aluminum PC cases in Taiwan. And rightfully so. With over twenty years of experience, Lian-Li is a salty dog. The PC-A05 is a new offering, and a departure from previous doctrine 'Big Is Beautiful', which targets the lower segment of the market. The case promises to be very un-big in size while remaining big on features. An ambitious endeavor, but can it deliver?

The Lian-Li branding conjures up images of elegant case design that separates them from the average enclosure. It's only fitting that they should offer a Classical series, a lineup that looks to polish upon the standard rectangular chassis rather than try and reinvent the wheel. Today at HardwareLogic, we look at the Classical PC-A08 with its brushed aluminum and two tone finish, but can it's interior exude the same charm as it's exterior?

Lian Li continues the expansion of their Classical Series cases, and today we take a look at one of the newest editions - The PC-A12. We'll take a look at the layout and features of this case to see if it's worth its 140 USD price.

Recently, we had the privilege of reviewing Lian Li's PCB-20 case. Suffice to say, its professional looks and ease of install had us impressed. But today with have another Lian Li offering, the PC-A12; a cheaper version.
