I like this case design that directs the hot air towards the front of the case. The front of the PC is typically open allowing the heat to escape easier. There are two 120mm fans, one in the front and one in the back of the case. The power supply (PS) is mounted at the front of the case, on the bottom. The PS pulls its cooling air from below the case, through a filter screen. This provides cooler air to the PS, allowing it to operate more efficiently than pulling warmer air from the interior of the PC. You can still access the PS on-off switch by removing the front panel of the Lian Li case, which can be easily removed without tools. Even the PS is mounted with thumbscrews!
I like the mid-tower case size. I rarely install anything beyond the bare necessities in my PC's, so there is more than ample room. There are 2 grommet holes in the back panel for liquid coolers and a removable panel in the top of the case to install a 140mm fan, both features in response to builders that want more cooling options.
For less than $100, this is a quality case that should last years and several generations of new or upgraded components.
Pros:
Light weight
Solid build (Who ever is claiming these are thinner material is just blowing smoke, or is using some .0000001 accurate gadge that there maybe something). Otherwise they are solid and nice strength. When the rig is loaded, you can expect to use 2 hands, and even 1 handed with holding inside of case of one side. Also, there are hardly any sharp edges. 1 I thought to claim as sharp was in the HDD cage that you can I guess claim as sharp, but not really unfinished. Also my unit had rubber feet.
BEAUTY: I don't like cases that look like the BS Star Wars is all the BS of space tech. SO simple clean smart lines is what is best for me.

CONS:
1. Not smart to have OLDER model cases like the PC-A05N, Very much like this case, which can take a modular 800W power supply. And now this new model NOT be able to take even a 700w PSU.
2. Its 2017-2018 Now! I have used SSD drives for almost a full decade. Why not have at least 2-3 trays for SSD drives?! It has 1 tray and it works with a Patriot tray, but a Samsung tray is a 1mm-2mm OFF to fitting. For SSD there SHOULD be a better, simpler secure design! Unacceptable.
These 2 are my only issues, BUT the PSU is a big one! Its a fail for serious PC users, and this case is for the mature PC user.
The tray is also a serious oversight..Should be giving the current tech for a $150+ mid tower case. I see it listed now for $228!
I have it and I was able to use it for someone else. Otherwise this would go back and I would not buy for over $70. Newegg has it smartly at $65.
So I hope Lian Li updates the older A05N with 3 SSD Easy slots. with multi USB3 front as this model has and STILL support mod PSU, and you have a winner worth $95-120.

Because of its modest size, it's almost mandatory to install CPU, cooler, graphics card and memory to the motherboard OUTSIDE the case first. Connect the 24-pin and 8-pin power connectors, short the power pins on the front-panel connector block, and if it POSTS you're laughing. I wouldn't want to assemble the system completely in the case, switch on and nothing happens; if all the front bays and hard-drive bays are filled, there's not a lot of room to locate the problem easily. If you tested outside the case you know the expensive bits are good! And there's nothing else that can wrong anyway.
Although the case comes with two 120mm fans, and I stuck a 140mm in the removable plate on top, there's a 120mm fan in the PSU, a cooler fan, and a GPU fan, this is the quietest system I've had in 27 years; if it didn't have a power-on blue LED, you wouldn't know the system was switched on.
Two 5.25" front bays is enough for most (does anybody want more than two optical drives?), and the 3.5" front bay is very useful, for a card-reader and extra USB ports for example. Space for three spindle hard drives, and a clever solution for solid-state drives--keyhole-type cutouts on the case floor for mounting the SSDs flat with grommeted screws. I can't find anything negative to say about this case. But because of its smallish size you'd be wise to think of a modular PSU, to minimise cable crowding.
Die Verarbeitung ist sehr gut und es gibt keine Lücken oder Unreinheiten. Das Gehäuse besteht nahezu komplett aus Aluminium, nimmt atx Boards auf, ist kaum höher als das Mainboard selbst und ist sehr leicht. Die Lüfter sind leise aber nicht perfekt. Dafür gibt es jedoch Lüftergitter an beiden 120mm Lüftern. Die Möglichkeit einen 140mm Lüfter am Deckel zu befestigen ist auch ein großes Plus, jedoch wird ein Lüftergitter zusätzlich benötigt, da der Lüfter sonst offen liegen würde. Dabei kommen normale Lüftergitter leider aus Designgründen nicht in Frage, da das Loch eher quadratisch ist und es eigendlich auf ein lian li Gitter für ca. 7€ hinauslaufen wird.
Ein usb3->usb2 Adapter liegt bei und es gibt genug Platz für >27cm Pixelpumpen. Die Kühlung ist besser als erwartet, jedoch sollte man bei einer hohen Hardwareabwärme die Lüfter wechseln oder am Deckel einen einbauen.
Das Netzteil sitzt unten vorne und hat die Möglichkeit Frischluft von unten durch einen Staubfilter zu ziehen und liegt auf verstellbaren Gummipuffern auf. Leider zieht das Netzteil in der Praxis auch viel Luft von innen direkt von der heißen Grafikkarte.
Insgesamt bin ich jedoch zufrieden, da dieses Gehäuse sehr edel aussieht, leise ist und man ihm ansieht, dass nicht unbedingt ein Büro pc drin steckt sondern Power :)
*Kleines Update* nun habe ich das Gehäuse schon über ein Jahr und kann die anfängliche Kritik größtenteils zurücknehmen.
Nachdem man neben die Grafikkarte einen separat kaufbaren Lüftungsschacht kauft zieht das Netzteil deutlich weniger Luft, da die heiße Luft von der Grafikkarte direkt nach außen befördert wird.
Der Luftstrom ist in dem kleinen Gehäuse dennoch nicht optimal, trotzdem bleib alles relativ kühl und mit den richtigen Lüftern auch sehr leise.
---------------------
J'ai acquis ce boitier en mai 2012 pour monter un HTPC, et je dois dire que je ne suis pas déçu !
Il est tout en aluminium, plutôt solide.
Il y a deux ventilateur de 12cm déjà montés, un à l'avant et à l'arrière.
L'air circule de l'arrière vers l'avant, ce qui change de la convention mais ne pose aucun problème pour les composants, l'alimentation souffle aussi vers l'avant.
Ils sont montés avec des patins en caoutchouc pour réduire le bruit, idem pour les disques durs.
Pour la taille, aucun problème pour monter une grosse carte graphique ou un dissipateur CPU un peu épais. Mon Zalman CNPS10Xextreme passe tout juste avec 1cm de marge près du côté.
Comme je le disais, il n'y a pas d'alimentation incluse, gare aux surprises ! Mais généralement les alimentations livrées avec boitiers sont de piètre qualité, optez pour une séparée. Une modulaire est conseillée.
Donc un super produit selon moi, ça respire la qualité ; je ne m'attendais pas à avoir une alim à ce prix.
Le rapport qualité/prix est plutôt bon, si vous cherchez du durable.. foncez ! :)
