Value and Conclusion

  • The Lian Li PC-G50B (B stands for black) can be had for around $90 dollars at big etailers in the US and for around 80€ in Europe. While that is quite low for any full aluminum case, it is a steal for this one considering the quality and cooling innovation of a Lian-Li for that price. If you want the new V series, you may want to take a look at the PC-V600, which has the same general layout and size, but costs almost twice as much (around $140/140€).
  • Great cooling
  • Unique and effective cooling setup
  • Silent fans
  • 12V Molex adapters on fans
  • Use of a normal ATX PSU
  • Fits a full size ATX mainboard
  • Absolutely high quality everywhere - from the materials & paint job to the front I/O
  • Very high quality front
  • Power and reset button on PCB
  • Plenty of room for installing mainboard
  • Hex screw driver for stand-offs included
  • Front can be removed easily, but holds in place very well
  • Available in silver and black
  • Very well packaged
  • Light weight
  • Small case
  • No external 3.5 inch drive bay
  • Not every CPU cooler will fit
  • Hard drive cage not really removable
The Lian Li PC-G50B may look small, but it packs a punch. After all these years, Lian Li has not lost any of their quality and innovation. I am hard pressed to find anything wrong with this case, especially considering the price tag. There is plenty of room, the paint job is perfect, the engineering that went into the case is awesome. One can overlook the fact that it does not have an external 3.5 inch drive bay as there are four 5.25" ones available. Most cases of that height only have two full 5.25 inch drive bays. If you are looking into getting a small aluminum case, but do not want to give up the advantages of a full ATX board and great cooling, this is definitely the case. You could even install a radiator and water cooling into the case if you tried hard enough. Overall an awesome case in every aspect. Well done Lian Li!
