Posted on Wednesday, September 23 2015 @ 16:27 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck
Lian Li announces the immediate availability of the PC-Q10WX, a new Mini-ITX case that measures 207mm x 277m x 335mm (W x H x D). As it's made from aluminium, it weighs just 2.3kg and it has an easily removable acrylic side panel.

There's room for one slot-in 5.25" optical drive (or one 2.5/3.5" storage disk), two 3.5" HDDs or three 2.5" SSDs, and two expansion slots. Airflow is provided by up to three 120mm fans and one 140mm fan but not of these are included with the case.

The case fits a 150mm long ATX power supply, supports VGA cards of up to 270mm long and CPU coolers of up to 140mm height. In case you prefer watercooling, the PC-Q10WX fits a 240mm rad in the top of a 120mm rad in the rear.

Lian Li started shipping the case earlier this month, the MSRP is $119.
Lian-Li Industrial Co. Ltd announces the PC-Q10WX Mini-PC chassis. A continuation of Lian Li's lineup of small PC cases, the PC-Q10WX is the first Q series case to feature an acrylic side wall: perfect for showing off the high-performance hardware and cooling systems this conveniently sized chassis can accommodate.

Fitting More in Less
The Lian Li PC-Q10WX is very compact, weighing only 2.3kg and measuring 207mm x 277mm x 335mm. Despite its size, its clever layout still offers enough space for a 270mm VGA card, a CPU cooler up to 140mm tall, and a PSU up to 150mm long.

Expandability Without Compromise
The PC-Q10WX supports up to two 3.5” drives or three 2.5” drives. A 5.25” drive bay fits a slim optical disk drive or an additional 2.5” or 3.5” drive. It supports a standard ATX power supply for builders who do not want to sacrifice high-performance components for a small form factor. Two expansion slots provide enough room for full-sized video cards.

Myriad Cooling Options
With space for a 240mm radiator on the top panel, and 120mm on the back panel – this little case gives builders enough flexibility to install almost any kind of water or air cooling setup. The water cooling grommets allow all-in-one cooler tubes to pass from inside to out; a small touch that gives DIY enthusiasts more freedom. And with room for up to 140mm CPU air coolers, it is possible to outfit the PC-Q10WX with air or water cooling.

Solid, Beautiful Construction
Almost entirely composed of brushed aluminum and acrylic, the PC-Q10WX is robust, beautiful, and minimal. Even its power button is cut from aluminum. Aluminum pegs with rubberized feet provide clearance along the bottom panel for increased airflow. The power button, two USB 3.0 ports, and HD audio ports are available on the front panel, along with a small air vent, for convenient connectivity. The top and side panels pop open and closed securely while the glass wall uses 4 thumbscrews for easy access.

Price and Availability
The PC-Q10WX will be available for USD $119 in US in early September.
