14 DAY TRIAL // Lian Li has apparently made a habit out of announcing new and innovative desktop PC cases and recently the company introduced a suitcase-like mini-ITX solution designed for LAN party goers and dubbed the PC-TU200.
According to Lian Li, its latest creation was designed for performance-hungry consumers who require a light, compact and versatile chassis as a base for their ultimate portable gaming rig.
As a result, the whole case weights no more than 3.15kg (about 7 pounds) and it comes with reinforced corners for providing added strength and durability during those long commutes.
Despite its small size, the PC-TU200 still boast a rather impressive list of features, including support for graphics cards measuring up to 300mm (roughly 11.8 inches) in length as well as a 140mm front mounted intake fan.
All the air that enters the chassis is then expelled by the fan found inside the power supply unit as well as through a series of vents and exhaust ports.
In order to get to the inside of the case, users can open either one of the two side panels by pushing a release lever found on the back of the chassis. Putting the panel back on is just as simple, since it only requires a simple push to lock the anchoring pins back into their sockets.
Despite its small footprint, PC-TU200's internal hard disk cage still includes room for up to four 3.5-inch hard drives, as well as for an external 5.25-inch ODD.
Two expansion slots are available and these are equipped with a graphics card holder, to secure VGA card during transport.
The front panel features a wide range of I/O ports, including HD Audio, eSATA, and two built-in USB 3.0 connectors.
No official information regarding the price or the availability of the PC-TU200 was provided by Lian Li, but Legit Reviews seems to believe that the case will be released as we get nearer to CES 2012.
