Lian Li has launched a new fanless SFF chassis as part of its PC-Q series. The new Lian Li PC-Q34 features a flip-open canopy, affording easy access to components and making upgrades and component swaps a cinch. Furthermore, appealing to your inner interior designer, the Taiwanese aluminium chassis specialists are supplying the PC-Q34 in a choice of four colour finishes; silver, black, red, or gold.
This new (W)228mm x (H)330mm x (D)250mm, 1.85Kg chassis is said to offer "test-bench style access" for your PC build. Once the easy snap on/off side panels are removed (facilitated by the release of two rear panel thumbscrews), users can flip open the chassis thanks to a hinge at the bottom of the front panel, see below.
Inside the PC-Q34 you horizontally fit a Mini-ITX or Mini-DTX motherboard, and have room for an ATX PSU of up to 180mm long and a total of four possible drives (combination of 2.5-and 3.5-inch devices). Maximum compatibility for CPU coolers is 180mm tall and you can slot in VGA cards that are up to 220mm long and 2 slots deep.
While this is a marketed as a fanless chassis, with side panel venting, Lian Li provides mounting facilities for a 120mm exhaust fan on the back panel. There's no room for an ODD but the front panel does sport 2x USB 3.0 and HD Audio ports beneath the right-side mounted power button for your convenience.
Lian Li says that the MSRP of the PC-Q34A/B (Silver/Black models) is £74.49, with the PC-Q34RD/GD (Red/Gold) a little more expensive at £78.99. Stock will be arriving very shortly.
