Lian-Li PC-G50B

Darksaber · Jun 8, 2006

Lian-Li is known for the great computer cases they make. Now they offer the new V series of cases, but even the classic ones have not remained unchanged. The Lian-Li PC-G50 may look absolutely tiny and cute from the outside with its perfect, sturdy build quality and paint job. Given the small size we were surprised that we could stuff a full sized ATX board equipped with a huge CPU cooler into the case comfortably and managed to keep it all cool with the two included 12cm fans.

LianLi's been a "Big name" in aluminum cases for years

See subject line/title - you probably can't go "too far wrong" using their boxes!

Myself? Well, I only JUST switched from FULL Tower steel cases, to Aluminum this round (No, not a LianLi, but the ANTEC "Super-Lanboy")!

(& am upset w/ myself for not having done so years ago... old habits, die hard).

* They're LIGHT, & easy to move around by comparison is why, AND very strong!

APK

P.S.=> I don't need a "neutronium" strong case (steel), & now like the lightness of aluminum ones (& they probably release heat faster as well, bonus)... apk

Hi, does this case come with the 5.25>3.5 adaptor or do I need to buy that separately (they seem to be hard to find in the UK!)? Thanks!

Both the black and silver versions are $90 shipped at Newegg today. Nice case, may get one.
