Introduction

I would like to thank Caseking.de for supplying the review sample.

Caseking is one of the few companies out there, which will not just sell anything. They only offer hardware that performs well and is of high quality. The shop carries quite a few exclusive parts and devices from all around the world and it is also the official distributor for a long list of well known manufacturers. Their assortment has grown substantially in recent years, while great service and support is still a very important part of the shop philosophy.


Caseking and Lian Li were kind enough to supply us with the Lian Li PC-A04 chassis in black. It is also available as a silver case and Caseking also offers both with premium sound dampening materials pre-installed.

Packaging

The PC-A04 ships in a plain cardboard box, with green and black printing on it. The large sides make sure you know which case you will be getting, along with a simple line drawing of what the case looks like. Turning it on its side, there is a check mark next to the color within the package - in our case black. Both side panels are identical as well. Lian Li protects the chassis with thick Styrofoam spacers. A heavy-duty plastic has been placed over the chassis to guard it against scratches and other types of damage.

Contents

You will receive the usual Lian Li pamphlet and a simple but effective installation guide along with a well sorted set of screws. As the A04 employs special anti-vibration measures, some of these screws are fairly special so you should make sure not to loose them over the long run.
