FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Lian Li Announces Two New
Brushed Aluminum Mini-ITX Chassis: PC-Q27 and PC-Q28
Lightweight,
Small Form Factor Chassis with New Motherboard Tray Design
18
April 2013, Keelung, Taiwan
- Lian-Li Industrial
Co. Ltd.
today announces two new brushed aluminum Mini-ITX chassis: PC-Q27 and
PC-Q28.
These two compact cases feature Lian Li's new railing mount
motherboard tray design, and allow for the Mini-ITX platform to be
combined with traditional full-sized components.
In addition to the new motherboard tray, both of Lian Li's new Mini-ITX
chassis have a new side panel removal design. After removing a single
screw, the side panel easily slides off with minimal effort.
PC-Q27
The PC-Q27 is an ideal chassis for a small form factor office PC, HTPC,
or gaming rig. With dimensions of (WxHxD) 200mm x 300mm x 240mm (7.8” x
11.8” x 9.4”)), the PC-Q27 is slightly taller than its predecessor, the
PC-Q07, thanks to the front and rear feet stands raising the case off
the ground. The PC-Q27 is also as wider and deeper allowing for longer
graphics cards, up to 195mm (7.6”), to fit.
Up to three 3.5” hard drives can fit inside the PC-Q27 with one of the
3.5” drives using the 5.25” drive bay space. For builders wanting to
take advantage of the high speeds of solid state drives (SSDs), a
single 2.5” drive can be installed on the bottom of the chassis. One
more SSD can be installed in place of a 3.5” drive on the front HDD
cage.
The PC-Q27 features passive cooling design, due to less heat generation
from Mini-ITX systems. Significant ventilation along the bottom and
rear of the chassis keeps the internal components cool. For users who
do want additional cooling, a 120mm fan can be installed on the bottom
of the PC-Q27 once the bottom hard drive cage is taken out.
The front of the PC-Q27 features the elegant brushed aluminum look that
Lian Li is known for. The only non-aluminum part of the front is the
dual LED illuminated power button that glows blue when on and red while
loading. The I/O panel with two USB 3.0 ports is located on the right
side of the front of the chassis so not to interrupt the elegant
aesthetics.
PC-Q28
The update of the PC-Q18, the PC-Q28 is the ideal gaming, LAN or home
server chassis. The PC-Q28 can hold graphics cards up to 290mm (11.4”)
in length as well seven hard drives (in multiple 3.5” and 2.5” setup
variations).
For DIY builders who like to tweak and modify the internals of cases,
both of the PC-Q28's hard drive cages are removable with a few twists
of thumbscrews and screws. This gives an internal blank compartment for
modding enthusiasts.
The PC-Q28, with dimension of (WxHxD) 227mm x 305mm x 345mm (8.9” x
12.0” x 13.5”), sits up off the ground thanks to its front and rear
feet stands much like like the PC-Q27. This is especially important
since the Lian Li PC-Q28 does not have visible front ventilation.
Instead, the front 140mm fan pulls in air from a vent on the bottom of
the chassis, which reduces system noise, while providing effective
cooling. The dust filter over the vent prevents dust from coming in.
For expelling hot air out of the chassis, there is a top 120mm fan.
Also, similar to the PC-Q27, the front of the PC-Q28 features the
elegant brushed aluminum look that Lian Li is known for, with a dual
LED illuminated power button. Two USB 3.0 ports and HD audio
connections are located on the right side of the front of the chassis.
Price
and Availability:
The PC-Q27 and PC-Q28 will be available at the end of June for the suggested retail price of €59.99 and €98.99 respectively.
