for Less
May
18, 2016, Keelung, Taiwan -
Lian-Li Industrial Co.
Ltd
announces the Ebonsteel Series – a new line of steel cases to offer
customers affordable new options with exceptional value. Three new
chassis comprise this all-new case line: the PC-K5, PC-K6, and PC-K6S.
All three mid tower cases are good choices for gamers on a budget; they
offer competitive air and water cooling support, full ATX builds, and
convenient building features.
Steel:
Lian Li’s New Option in Value
Lian Li has been known for its signature brushed aluminum aesthetic for
decades. For many years, a number of customers have requested more
affordable alternatives. The Ebonsteel series is intended to provide
this option for those who seek the best value in PC cases. While these
chassis are built with steel rather than aluminum, they are still very
much Lian Li cases – tool-less building features, grommeted panel
cutouts for cable management, vibration-dampened PSU mounts and drive
cages, removable mesh filters on fan mounts – they include many of the
bells and whistles of a typical Lian Li case!
The
Versatile, Cost-Effective PC-K5
The PC-K5 is the first of the new Ebonsteel cases. It’s a mid tower
chassis for ATX or mATX motherboards, including two removable drive
cages storing a total of four 3.5” or four 2.5” drives. With seven
expansion slots, builders can install VGA cards up to 250mm long with
the cages installed, or remove one or both cages to install cards as
long as 400mm. It accommodates 250mm ATX PSUs and CPU coolers up to
160mm tall. The PC-K5 uses two 120mm intake fans on the front panel and
vents through a final 120mm fan in the back. Water cooling enthusiasts
can mount a 120mmx240mmx60mm radiator on the top fan mounts, or simply
add two additional 120mm fans. The front panel has two 5.25” bays and
the top panel includes one USB 3.0, two USB 2.0, and HD audio inputs.
The
Minimalistic PC-K6 Makes Tidy Building Easy
Like the PC-K5, the PC-K6 is also a mid tower chassis for ATX or mATX
motherboards. It can mount a total of seven 3.5” or 2.5” drives, which
face the panel opposite the motherboard. Similar to the new J-series
cases, the drives and PSU are covered with steel panels, streamlining
the compartment and keeping the motherboard tray and expansion cards in
the spotlight. It can mount VGA cards up to 310mm long, PSUs 310mm
long, and CPU coolers 170mm tall. Two 120mm intake fans draw air
through the chassis and vent out an additional 120mm fan in the back.
Builders can elect to instead install 140mm intake fans and add two
additional 120mm or 140mm fans on the top panel. For those who insist
on water cooling, the PC-K6 can mount a 120mmx240mmx60mm or
140mmx280mmx60mm radiator. The front panel has two 5.25” bays and the
top panel includes two USB 3.0, one USB 2.0, and HD audio inputs.
Silence,
Now Available in Steel – The PC-K6S
The “silent” model of the PC-K6 is virtually identical to the standard
version, but with a few extra features. The PC-K6S uses sound-dampening
foam inserts in the panels to isolate fan noise inside the chassis,
mitigating its overall noise. The front panel on this version is hinged
to swing open for easier access to the 5.25” bays and 120mm intake
fans. It includes an extra USB 2.0 port, totaling two USB 3.0, two USB
2.0, and HD audio ports protected by a sliding metal cover.

The Ebonsteel cases will be available in mid June for K5, and late June
