Introduction

I would like to thank Hampton Technologies for supplying the review sample. The Lian Li PC-A10 can be purchased at Performance-PCs.com.

I’m sure that most users who have spent any amount of time searching the internet for a quality PC case have come across the name Lian Li over and over again. Why? Because Lian Li is one of the top manufacturers of PC cases in the world when it comes to style, quality and innovation. Here is some history (from the Lian Li website):

Specifications

Packaging

The package that the PC-A10 comes in is huge. This is going to be your first clue as to the sheer size and roominess of this case. The side of the box shows a brief description of the features and specifications.


Upon opening the package we can see how nice and safe everything is. The case is wrapped tightly in a heavy blue bag, while everything is secured by large pieces of dense foam reinforced by heavy cardboard. This is not Styrofoam, and it will not leave a huge mess on your floor when removing the case from the box.


Inside the case you should find a small piece of brown paper. At first glance you might think that someone at the factory put a piece of garbage in your case before boxing it up, but that is incorrect. This is actually a special kind of paper used to help control moisture and prevent corrosion. Since these cases get shipped to other countries by boat, it is imperative to use measures like this to ensure the case arrives in pristine condition.
