#1306 - Lian Li PC-100 Case Video Review

[UltraVert]

They make it difficult and awkward to install your hardware and then force you (without modding) to have negative pressure airflow. Thanks Lian Li!

This is a 100% stupidass product.

[PKhong972]

Lian Li... just because you guys are the first to do this doesn't mean its good.... Silver Stone had a good thing going by flipping the Mobo sideways as hot air rises but backwards?! you guys honestly want us to have a bunch of cables in "front" of the case while having the heat from video card blow into our face? Who the hell on the design team came up with this idea and why the hell did the rest of the team agreed it was good? ><''

[LukesNewLife]

??? WHAT A PIECE OF CONFUSING STUPIDNESS

[Brainiaccccc]

Pretty unique, very interesting!

[Prowler1]

Brilliant Innovation!

shame theres no way to contact Lian-Li

[ReeceNosnah]

Fugly, stupid design.

[fukkyy92]

100% KICKASS .....MY ASS is then 200% KICKASS product ...stupid case, you have to be retarded to buy this

[SylentCommando]

why does Lian Li not paint the insides of there cases black, I thought they are high end cases, they sure cost alot,just a suggestion Lian Li a black inside would be nice.

[thinkofwhy]

How can you fully review a case without installing a system? How do know that the front I/O panel is not annoying?

[Idler81643]

@thinkofwhy I have been asking this question for the longest time.

3DGameMan is the laziest reviewer around. Seriously, this is one of the cases that you HAVE to try it out. A lot of cases looks good on paper but it's highly lacking when you're actually working on it.

How long does it take to put in a motherboard, video card, power supply and hard drives and some simple cable organization??

[arcadyt]

It's strange to me to see that in this case I have to shove the DVI cable INTO the case itself and then connect it somehow inside.. this isn't a great idea because you'll be wasting cable length that maybe you need.. Also no USBs on top/back, that's not good either.. It brags about rubber anywhere, but such simple stuff are left unanswered..

[TeheD]

Bullshit case is BULLSHIT

[azcn2503]

Bad design decision on the weird door. PC-P80 ftw.

[layol692k7]

very interesting design

[PTNLemay]

>> Finally settle on a case I like.

>> Sees dozens of new cases being unveiled days later.

Feels bad...

[ocbgavin]

Sorry 3d game man, i just wasted 3 mins of my life, Could watch the rest. however your review on the NZXT Switch 810 Case , it brillant!!!

[SALADCRUTON]

Very confusing case but a cool idea

[helloimclaudio]

Seems to confusing to work with, plus, not too good looking. Neat idea though, i just don't think it'll catch on unless they find a way to make things less confusing and better looking.

[hotbeanful]

This is like that fad where people wore their clothes backwards. retarded

[MattacksRC]

why would I want a bunch of wires sticking out the front of the case? Actually, after thinking about it, I could see how that could be useful.

[shaurz]

Bizarre design. I'd like to see what it looks like with components installed.

[nintedopersonman2]

interesting case design the only thing that I wouldn't like about though as a previous commenter mentioned you have to bend your video cables backward to get to the monitor although I suppose you can have sideways.

[moomee237]

You know, what I really like about Lian Li (and Silverstone) is that they are always willing to go to the limits of computer case design. Taking inspiration from classic designs and giving it a 180 degree rethink made them who they are today. Not every case has to be a Antec Nine Hundred or CM HAF.

[Waberner]

theres gonna be a air flow problem with vga cards exhaustinc warm air at the front and the 120mm fan ¨sucking it back into the case.

and i dont like the hdd mounting bracket, kinda weird designing. the fans at the back could be a lot larger cause theirs no need for the mobo i/o shield and expansion ports.

[cinema2k]

I think the idea is to keep from having to dig around the back for hooking up cables.

[kevinsmammaxd]

where is cosmos II full review?

[PcandTech]

how are you suppose to rout the cables i mean you will have to have a fat video usb ethernet out from the front

[MrLuvcanada]

Very good job Rodney.

<3 coolermaster!!!

[Roland0314]

Goofy case. Lately I have been disappointed with Lian Li

[MidNiteR32]

@Roland0314

Because you can't afford a Lian Li case?

[Roland0314]

@MidNiteR32 Dumb ass fanboy. This case is pretty bad and you know it. I can see how some people MIGHT like it, but I think it is a failure. I love Lian Li's cases, but their newer ones are just lacking.

[MidNiteR32]

@Roland0314

Shows how much you know about Lian Li. They have introduced many great cases last year. Again, you're angry because you can't afford them.

[Roland0314]

@MidNiteR32 You have no legitimate argument other than to say I cannot afford them? I assure you that unless you win the lottery, I am and always will be much better off than you financially. I am done wasting my time with you.

[xcruzrr6]

@MidNiteR32  Last year? Pff! Many years! But wtf does that have to do with this silly design? You gotta run EVERYTHING important through the side of the case for it to come out the back anyway. Heat from a mid- to high-end gpu would get circulated back into the case. More noise from the gpu cuz it's in your face now. No room for display adapters. Would you buy it? Do you really need a case like this? You never said. Personally, I wouldn't pay 50 for it. SilverStone's design is better.

[Dreamst8r]

WOW what a fucking POS case this is. wtf were they thinking

[CatalystDestiny]

@Dreamst8r Yeah, having everything that goes into the I/O come out of the "front" would be a clusterfuck of cables shooting out of the front like a spaghetti factory while having to bend the shit out of monitor cables to run them in an S shape from that to monitors. I can't say I like this case, at all, pretty dumb design IMO.

[Dreamst8r]

@CatalystDestiny lmao couldn't have said it better myself. this is a 100% suck ass product. ha

[Drunkenvalley]

@CatalystDestiny It is a brilliant design, although this is obviously going to be a biased conclusion regardless of whether you agree or don't. It's opinion, as in factual sense there is nothing wrong with the design.

[cozmoz365]

@CatalystDestiny You can find videos showing how the cable management works on this thing on Youtube. It really is a shame Rodney didn't do a build in this one.

[joa159]

Idk if its functional, but i really like the cable management system..

[CJCA915]

However, not too fond of the I/O being in the front...

[Midas617]

what a beauty.. just how i like my enclosures..subtle..

[CJCA915]

Very interesting design...

[applejackpoop]

NICE

Your Videos are very good!
