The motherboard tray can seat XL-ATX, apart from standard ATX form-factors. It offers 10 expansion slot bays.
Storage areas of the PC-V2130 includes five 5.25-inch drive bays, eight 3.5-inch bays spread across individual trays;four 2.5-inch bays along the back side of the cage, and three 3.5-inch bays behind the motherboard tray. Ventilation includes two 140 mm front intakes, two 140 mm top exhausts, a 140 mm bottom intake, and a 120 mm rear exhaust. Front panel connectivity includes four USB 3.0 ports (standard headers), an eSATA port, and HD audio jacks. The case offers room for graphics cards as long as 36 cm (up to 48 cm if you pull out the drive trays), PSUs as long as 20 cm, and CPU coolers as tall as 18 cm. Lian Li didn't reveal pricing or availability details.

In fact, looking at the 2nd image, it appears you can mount drives on the FRONT of the motherboard tray as well (there is enough space between the PSU and the tray). Not sure why you'd want to do this, but interesting nonetheless.
The 2120 looks better to me...
