Lian Li PC-Q08 Mini-ITX Cube Case Review

PC-Q08 Overview
The PC-Q08 comes in 3 different colors: Silver, Black, and Red; as you can see we received the black version.  This case is what we would call a cube case, as it looks like a cube.  Cube cases are mainly used for LAN boxes or HTPC’s cases as they are small and easy to move around.  This case is pretty small with the dimensions of 227mm (W) x 225mm (H) x 345mm (D).  Like almost all other Lian Li cases the entire cases is made of aluminum, which looks great.

Looking at the front of the case there is a large honeycomb design that is for the 140mm intake fan that sits behind it.  There is a single 5.25-inch drive bay that has a bezel cover on it.  There are small power and reset buttons along with 2 USB 3.0 ports and audio connections.

The top of the case is pretty plain except for the 120mm fan.  Looking at the side of the case there is another honeycomb section to help with cooling.

Moving around back most of the back part of the case has the honeycombed design as well.  You can of course see where your motherboard and power supply will be installed at.  Also this case has room for 2 expansion cards, which is the typical number on Mini-ITX motherboards.  Also take note of the thumbscrews on the back of the case to make things easier.

On the bottom of the case there are 4 metal feet with rubber bottoms.  They will keep the case in place and lift it up off the ground.  There are 2 large honeycomb sections on the bottom of the case that will let air in to the case.
