The Lian Li Tyr PC-X5000 comes close to perfection - just like the X2000 does. It manages to give you the most space while keeping the overall dimensions of the enclosure to an absolute minimum. The interior layout is very similar to that of its bigger brother, but - due to the small size - does not offer as many hard drive bays or any SATA backplates. Lian Li manages to show off a compact chassis which can handle all of today's high end cards and CPU coolers without a problem. Such boldness and innovation comes at a price. Even though it is smaller than the X500 (less material cost) and does not come with some of the features, the price difference is not as great as one may hope for. This case is nearly perfect and if you are looking to place the most under your desk in the smallest space possible one of the best choices on the market today.
