14 DAY TRIAL // Lian Li continues to release small form factor PC enclosures, even though one would think that the impending arrival of Haswell Intel CPUs would make everyone look for mid-tower systems and larger.
Regardless, the company has introduced the PC-TU100, a mini-ITX enclosure with a design reminiscent of a briefcase.
It even has one of those big handles, so that owners can easily carry it around instead of having to cradle it like a particularly bothersome box.
Physically, it measures 158 x 275 x 242 mm (6.2” x 10.8” x 9.5”) and weighs 1.77kg (3.9lb).
It also has enough room on the inside for graphics cards 190 mm / 7.48 inches in length.
If buyers find a mini-ITX motherboard with a PCI Express 3.0 or 2.0 x16 slot, they should actually pull off a gaming configuration.
Other specs include two 2.5-inch drive bays, a slim ODD bay (can be filled with a third 2.5-inch drive), and a PSU compartment for SFX supplies (up to 170 mm / 6.69 inches).
