Case maker Lian Li continues to launch cases made from pure aluminum. With its new models, PC-V1020 and PC-V2120 it returns to the big leagues where the former is a miditower and the latter a sturdy fulltower for the demanding users.
Lian Li continues with its regular aluminum designs and launches two spacious cases with 8 and 13 harddrive slots respectively, and a solid equipment of 140mm and 120mm fans.
Interesting functions include a removable motherboard tray for easy installation, USB 3.0 support, cable management system, case wheels for easy transportation and supports for large graphics cards and loads of expansion slots.
Prices are pretty high though with PC-V1020 costing almost $300 and top model PC-V2120 near $450.
