Lian Li Announces Their Smallest ATX Motherboard Supported Chassis - PC-V700
Lian-Li Industrial Co. Ltd, the award-winning aluminum computer chassis manufacturer, today announces their smallest chassis supporting a ATX motherboard - PC-V700. This brushed aluminum chassis allows PC builders to get the most out of every available space with its efficient and flexible design.
The PC-V700 with dimensions of 8.26" (W) x 15.74" (H) x 19.52" (D) (210 x 400 x 496 mm) gives users several options for installing their hardware in a space saving form. The hotswappable HDD cage below the 5.25" drive bay at the top of the chassis holds up to four 3.5" hard drives. The removable SSD rack that can be placed to hang underneath the 3.5" HDD bay allows users to install two 2.5" hard drives. For users that prefer longer VGA cards, when this 2.5" SSD rack is removed graphics cards up to 17.32" (440 mm) in length can be installed.
In order to give more room for future expandability, the PSU is placed in the front of the chassis under the HDD bays. The PC-V700 provides ventilation slits underneath the PSU with a removable pull-out filter to help increase the life and performance of your power supply.
Two additional 3.5" HDDs can be screwed into the floor of the PC-V700 to give even more storage potential for this compact chassis without getting in the way of other hardware.
The Lian Li PC-V700 offers effective thermal cooling with its four well-placed fans. The front 140 mm fan with the easy-to-remove twist motion air filter blows cool air directly on the 3.5" hotswappable HDD rack. The dual top and rear 120 mm fans keep the cool air circulating throughout the case by pulling hot air out of the chassis.
Providing high connectivity capabilities, the PC-V700 has three USB 3.0, one e-SATA, and HD ports on the front panel.
The PC-V700 comes in three varieties - black (PC-V700B), silver (PC-V700A), and internal black with a side panel window (PC-V700WX).

Supported Chassis - PC-V700'
whats going on with title? it makes me nearly jump out when i read 'Lian Li Announces Their Smallest ATX Motherboard.....'
btw that looks nice and simple as usual
On both 1st and 2nd pictures, silver and black, there is a crease in the metal at the bottom left and right corners of the face: near ground level.
For this kind of money I don't want to see dimples in the metal.
I guess its better than they one they did, with it sucking in hot gpu air.
You'd have to watch the depth of the PSU with this layout. Some of the bigger ones might overlap the motherboard. Plus, the power cables will exit over the motherboard, could get a little messy.
Overall, I kinda like these cases, but their prices are way too high (even if they are aluminum).
In the former situation (which is almost always the case with PSUs; especially when you go beyond 350W) no "hot gpu air" can go into the PSU. It's possible only in the latter.How does the intake fan at the top front half affect the PSU? Is the bottom of the HDD tray missing or something?
I do like how it can accommodate a larger GPU though.
