Lian Li Launches the Innovative PC-Q07 Mini-ITX Chassis
Lian-Li Industrial Co. Ltd has launched the PC-Q07 Mini-ITX chassis. The black hairline-brushed all aluminum PC-Q07 allows for the Mini-ITX platform motherboard to be combined with traditional full sized components, thus saving you money and giving you the option to utilize components from a system you already have. Designed to be passively cooled, with strategically placed innovative air vents make it both silent and safe. The small chassis can fit snugly in any environment. The PC-Q07 is definitely worth serious consideration for building the ultimate ITX platform. Ideal for System Integrators looking for money saving, high quality solutions.
PC- Q07 Mini-ITX Specifications
Standing at 193mm x 280mm x 208mm (W,H,D), the aluminum chassis has a reversible PSU bracket which allows the PSU to be arranged as you like. The chassis supports 1x 5.25" Optical drive bay with 1x 3.5" HDD bay and 1x 2.5" HDD bay. In addition, strategically placed air vents enable passive cooling to effectively keep your system optimal. The entire case weighs in at 1.1kg's.
PC-Q07 Special Features
The PC-Q07 has easy installation kits for the 5.25" optical drives, as well as for the 1x 3.5" HDD bays with anti-vibration kits, as well as room for a 2.5" drive underneath. The internal space is ideally arranged to keep everything well ventilated without compromising on your hardware thermal requirements. The small profile, incorporating traditional desktop components within the ITX platform makes the PC-Q07 the most attractive and innovative ITX chassis available.
Perfect for System Integrators (SI)
The benefit to use full size ATX power components coupled with the Mini-ITX platform makes this unique innovative chassis ideal for those system integrators looking to design a small profile, yet advanced system for their customers. The expense of slim ODD and an ITX PSU or external PSU is completely negated. In addition replacement components can be sourced from standard stocks, without the need to build up a special replacement inventory.
Traditional Durability
The classical style and functional design is the Lian Li goal. The essence of Lian Li products is the craftsmanship of the engineering. Intrinsic to the workmanship and quality is the customization which includes a whole host of optional extras that can be purchased to add more features to an already feature rich product.

Corsair HX520 (need modular in such a cramped space)
Doable without any modding!
Yum yum!
Also, I am personally waiting for this board. www.zotac.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=419
Next rig I am building is a pocket gaming rig. :rockout:
Edit: I found a 4830 that should fit... www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814140099
Edit: i love how everyone here thinks the same thing - "How can i build a gaming rig with that" :laugh:

BTW, nice case. I've built a few miniITX systems and you always compromise somewhere (in a somewhat major way). This box allows most of those compromises to be nixed. PS. You dont do miniITX for a high end gaming rig. You do it for "workstation" productivity use, or, build your own server/NAS.
Getting a full PSU in there is great. No more silly little PSU's or laptop power boxes. And it can be used to provide all the nec. cooling.
It aint bad at all...
Plus my little gaming rig project build is in the "my wallet is empty" status...:cry:

Very cramped on space inside but with some clever modding to the guts the temps are totally fine. Airflow is actually controlled only by the PSU fan, I have no other fans running in the case save for the GFX card's.
CPU idles at 34c, load 59c
GPU idles at 41c, load 58c
If I run on IGP I have a totally silent PC, bummer the Radeon fan is so noisy. Might passify it in the future since switching the fan speed of the GPU to 1% barely did anything to the temp.
