News - Lian Li unveils a new mini tower ATX chassis

The PC-V650 still has enough room “to install the hardware that DIY builders desire”.

Looks good, shame the price will kill any success in the market.

I don't see any difference between this and the v354?

Oh. Duh. Full ATX. Too much "Mini" sprinkled around.

Looks like they could've easily made it a 140mm rear fan, I wonder why they didn't?

Looks like a nice piece of kit, certainly something I'd consider for my next build. Particularly like the watercooling holes at the back, as it'd be tempted to slightly ruin the lines by pushing a 120mm radiator outside the case, with the fan inside pushing the air out

Looks really nice but dimension wise it doesn't seem so much smaller except losing some height. (Compared to the smaller ATX towers that is) Still interested to see a review though if the price is sub £100.

It's got too many holes in it and that's actually counter-productive for cooling. A perfectly cooled PC case should have an in-take hole and an out-take hole, that's it. Since this is also meant for HTPC, I can't see any point in having 3 fan holes + a fan in the PSU, mind you. If I bought this, I would have to block some of these holes to achieve optimal airflow. So it's a "no go" for me. I like how their cases look and the quality materials they use, though.

When you have a closed case with only two holes, you can actually cool it nicely with only one fan in the PSU. My main PC is like that. I modified a cheap but nicely closed case I bought. In the worst case, if it gets really hot, one more fan on the intake should suffice. Or the out-take.
