Lian Li is well known for their Mini-ITX cases. Today we are looking at one of their high-end models, which looks much like a small suitcase, is more compact than the PC-Q08, but still offers nearly the same space within. We stuff the belly of the little PC-TU200 full of hardware and step back to see if it will burst or manage to swallow everything whole.

As is the case with many different covers out there, the shape of the drive tray results in it getting stuck on its way in. Not a real deal breaker, but quite annoying.

You can remove the tray faceplate and this won't happen.

Great review!

In negative conclusions there is one issue repeated twice: "Side panel behind mainboard tray will pop off if you do route too many cables behind the tray"

Question, you mention watercooling and highend CPU without modding, is this realy an option?

Finally, I don't think this is for laptop subsititution, but for people taking the computer from their room to the living room or a nearby friends house... (or LANparties), as it does not include a monitor screen for working during travels :)

In situations like this, I just remove the drive tray's cover. They are super easy to pop off, and doesn't really affect the look since it is hidden behind the case's drive bay cover.
