Lian Li PC-Q18 Tops It Off With Features

[btarunr]

The most feature-rich in the trio of Lian Li's new mini-ITX Q-series cases is the PC-Q18. It is designed for performance desktops and HTPCs. Measuring 199 x 290 x 365 mm (WxHxD), the PC-Q18 is designed keeping in mind the need for a performance machine to be airy, and is hence complemented with large fans. It can hold a mini-ITX form-factor motherboard with two full-height add-on card bays, hence having the ability to hold a double-slot graphics card.

Storage features include one 5.25-inch drive bay, which is valved; four (yes, four!) hot-swap capable 3.5-inch drive bays, with drive caddies that are so designed to accommodate up to three 2.5-inch drives. It has room for a 140 mm front-intake and a 140 mm top exhaust. Front-panel connectivity includes audio and USB 3.0. The chassis is made almost entirely of aluminum.

When I first read this, was very excited because I thought it said that each carrier could hold 3 x 2.5". Up to 12 x 2.5" or even better, 6 x 2.5" + 2 x 3.5"! However, it's probably carriers that are designed to hold both a 3.5" and 2.5" drive. Let's get some interior pics up in here!

I think this is a great alternative to PC-TU200
