Today we are taking a look at the smaller version of the Lian Li Tyr PC-X2000 case, called the Tyr PC-X500 - or X500 in short. It features the same general design at a much smaller overall package.

Specifications

Packaging

The package of the Tyr PC-X500 - or X500 in short, looks identical to that of the much larger X2000 case. The larger sides show an image of the chassis, while the smaller side goes into greater detail and lists the specifications of the X500. Lian-Li further protects the enclosure with compact foam spacers. While these are not as large as we are used to seeing, it is quite sufficient. Even though the package has a few dents and scratches - having been shipped half way across the world, the case itself is in flawless condition.
