Lian Li PC-O5x Mini-ITX Case - Black [PC-O5X]

Like every case of PC-O-series corresponds to the PC Ø5x format that is more or less a classic desktop chassis, but without really fit into this category. Though it can also position it horizontally using optional stands, the focus lies clearly on the operating vertically - that is offering both by the large tinted glass that covers the entire left side of the housing and a good view of the built-in hardware as also illustrated by the wall mounting option on the right side as well as the included feet for upright.

The PC Ø5x is the smallest version of the PC-O-series and differs from the other three variants of the low housing width of only 133 mm (163mm with stand). This is enabled by the small form factor of installed hardware (Mini-ITX mainboard when and SFX in the power supply) and the effective and thereby inconspicuous ventilation behind by the large mesh surfaces in front and back and one on the right-hand side the mainboard housed 140-mm fan is guaranteed. On the fan in the cover is omitted in contrast to the broader variants. Due to the small width, the maximum height of the CPU cooler 70 millimeters.

A special feature that comes to the small width of the housing benefit is the placement of graphics or other expansion card. Instead of this, as usual, to connect directly to the motherboard, here's a riser cable is used, rotated the map 90 degrees with the aid is assembled and thus in the bottom of the cabinet stands upright - the side that usually houses the fan on the graphics card, is thus in interaction with the glass cover as well as visible as the motherboard. Visual treat that can be excited at a maximum backplate stir in normal cases, come here so full effect - just like quality motherboards and memory bar with chic heat spreaders. Since not one or two, but three expansion slots are available, even high-end cars can here be mounted with triple-slot coolers - at least if the hard drive cage is located behind the front to accommodate up to 320 mm long graphics cards Otherwise, the maximum length of 190 millimeters.

Optical drives a slim slot for drives with the standard height of 12.7 mm is offered. Who does not need this, there may still install a 2.5 or 3.5-inch drive. Another two drives (2x 2.5 inch or per a 2.5 and 3.5-inch drive) apply to a carrier behind the motherboard's Square and the aforementioned drive cage behind the front holds a 2.5 and two 3 , 5-inch drives. Another two drives (2x 2.5 inch or per a 2.5 and 3.5-inch drive) can be installed, if they are not add-in cards or the riser card is placed closer to the glass, to make room , To hide the compared to high-end graphics cards and motherboards usually visually unattractive drives in the shaft behind the front is the case with aluminum bezel.

In addition to this panel allow various other details the construction of extremely tidy and visually impressive systems with this case. As usual with Lian Li is the "X" in the product for a completely black anodized interior, and despite the already low housing width between Mainboardtray and right side wall more than 30 millimeters square - together with the openings in Mainboardtray that is just there are, where usually sit the connections of the individual components, thus can be run behind the tray all the cables along the shortest path, so that they are no longer visible through the glass. The large spacing of 30 mm allows relaxed stowing of longer and more voluminous harnesses, so here clean builds are possible without modular power supply.
