Lian Li Announces New Mini-ITX Chassis with a Curve-Shaped Design and Front Acrylic Window the PC-Q30.
Lian-Li, just released new Mini-ITX chassis called the PC-Q30. This has a unique brushed aluminum curve-shaped design and large acrylic front window which allows DIY'rs to show off their tweaked out systems to who ever wants to look.
LEDs , fans, fish... whatever. It should look pretty cool in this case.
The front of the PC-Q30 is simplistic with simply a dual LED illuminated power button that glows blue when on and red while loading. The I/O panel with two USB 3.0 ports and HD audio connections is located on the left side of the front of the chassis for convenience, The PC-Q30 supports graphics cards up to 200mm (7.8”)and up to four 2.5” hard drives or SSDs can be mounted in the removable hard drive cage at the bottom of the chassis.
A 140mm fan in the rear of the chassis expels hot air, while ventilation on the top and side allows for cool air to enter. A small form factor power supply up to 125mm (4.9”) is placed on rubber pads in order to reduce vibrations.
Given the look, the first thing that came to my mind was adding a small LED monitor where the acrylic is and making a small portable computer good for games, every day computer or PVR. Then I realized Jobs did that in 1984. I guess I'll have to go all new school and use an HDMI cable to my flat screen.
The PC-Q30 will be available in June in the US and Canada for the suggested retail price of US$149.
