Lian Li Announces PC-7N: Affordable Quality Mid-Tower Chassis
Over the past few years, it seems like the industry is trending more and more to smaller cases. With mITX and mATX motherboard becoming more and more popular, PC builders haven’t needed the additional real estate offered by a full size chassis. However, sometimes your build calls for nice mid tower. For many, a company that’s on the top of their components list is Lian Li.
Announced today, the PC-7N is the latest mid tower chassis from the Taiwanese based company. Offering customizable drive mounts and plenty of space to work in, the PC-7N looks to bring affordable quality to system builders worldwide. With four drive bays fitted with vibration-dampening rubber washers that can be installed in one of eight slots near the front intake fans, the PC-7N promises both proper cooling and the ability to customize the interior of the chassis.
The PC-7N can mount robust CPU coolers as tall as 170mm. It includes two 120mm intake fans at the front panel, with another 120mm exhaust fan on the rear panel. The front panel fans can be removed to accommodate a radiator as large as 140mmx280mmx60mm. The rear 120mm fan includes grommets for AIO water cooling systems.
The PC-7N mounts ATX or mATX motherboards. By repositioning the drive trays, this chassis can fit large graphics cards as long as 370mm. If blocked by drive trays, it could still fit cards as long as 250mm. The PC-7N also supports mounting of high-wattage ATX PSUs up to a maximum of 270mm in length. There are also eight expansion slots.
Drives can be freely installed and repositioned without tools – thumbscrews secure the support arm, and slot-in without losing small screws. The two 5.25” bays are tool-less as well; the front panel and fan filters can be removed and cleaned without screws. There’s 14mm of space behind the motherboard tray, and 27mm space behind the drive rack for convenient cable management. It stands on four adjustable aluminum feet, with power, HD audio ports, and two USB 3.0 ports positioned above the front panel with a closable cover.
The PC-7N will be available in silver and black at the end of February for $99.
