Lian Li TU150

[Darksaber]

The Lian Li TU150 is a fresh take on the TU100 and TU200 portable cases. Gone is the flight-case inspired design and purely functional yet ugly handle up top. Instead, the TU150 offers a sleek outer shell, beautiful glass side panel and an extremely well-built, recessed handle.

Always liked Lian Li cases for sure. Thanks for the review.

Looks nice, though seems bigger than necessary for something with a handle. Doesn't hold much different than an ncase m1 but it's much larger.

When you make a case that's almost double in volume to other cases and them having 240 CLC support and not this.it just brings the product down sure there is some good things about this case but no thanks.

Being an air cooling focus case, 1x120 front intake isn't enough, should make it 140.

I like this case. Will probably use it for the next build.

That power supply placement seems a little odd. They put glass on the side of the case forcing you to display all of your wiring? This seems like an oversight...

I like these small form factor cases with handles...I bought one from Sneeky a few years back and it turned out to be the best SFF I've ever owned.

I saw a video about this one awhile ago and it was definitely on the "short list" until I saw the install photos.

I guess the hunt continues!

Best,

this case is not just a mini ITX or mini DTX but it is also a DTX case, which is going to replace micro size. I have this case and the m 1, and the m 1 will not hold a DTX board, and the M1 may require half height fans in the bottom for the impaque board

Wrong, it can hold a DTX boarrd, which I suspect will be 1.3 inches longer than a mini DTX board

The lack of 2, 140 fans is not only a negative for air cooling, but also for water cooling. On the plus side this handle is awesome, when it slides down, it will not rattle, held in place by a magnet.

you missed the part about the glass being balck at the top to hide those wires

Well my view, this is the ITX case of the year. I bought the m 1 case a month earlier, and now have both in my posession. Tghis case should accomadate a triple blower, the m 1 does not. Would love to see the m 1 add this handle to version 7. The m 1 is probley a little better case, but it cost 210 plus a lot for shipping. One niffty feature on the m 1, it has a rubber piece in the back that allows a user to take the type c connector and plug it into the back. granted not actuaally tried a triple in the tu 250 yet, waiting ont he impaque, back orderred.

I do love Lian Li for their quality of manufacturing.

But it took them forever to stop wasting space in their small form factor cases... Lets face it, Silverstone cases are crap quality and heavy to boot, due to their use of cheap steel.
But they designed many layouts that were exemplary and smart. You could fit all you needed for a gaming machine into half the space Lian Li required. For Years! I contacted them sometime between 2012 and 2014 with diagrams, telling them they were forcing my hand to buy elsewhere by not making efficient interior layouts. Not to forget the horror of mounting the PSU above the CPU/Mainboard! So if you needed to get to the main-board for any reason, you had to remove the PSU every time! What a cruel joke...

The TU100 mentioned in the review should have been a DAN A4 with a handle, long before Dan designed the A4.

The reviewed TU150 is basically a slightly larger M-One case.

I have all these cases here. Dan's A4 allowed me to ditch all those gaming laptops that turn to shit every 2 Years. And the M-One does an awesome job for home and office systems. But both are for people who don't mind the money...

.

So it took Lian Li till 2019 to get with the program, but I'll be the first to say they did it really really well and for barely over 100 Euro, that case is a DEAL!

The layout is nearly the same as the M1. But it gives you a little more space around the edges to put cables than the M One does.
Slightly bigger but not much and a lil more comfy for fitting fans and coolers. Works for me, I have one on order.
