Lian Li PC-O5S ITX Case Review

Introduction and Technical Specification

Introduction

Lian Li aren't exactly known for making "Normal" cases. Sure they might make some enclosures that look like normal desk top towers, but for the greater part there's usually something about them that separates them from the pack, even if that certain something is merely the exemplary quality we've come to expect from Lian Li. Where Lian Li really excel however is when they release their designers from their creative shackles, tell them not to produce "normal" and let their creative juices generate something truly unique. Granted the end product is usually niche, and it has to be said more often than not quite expensive, but then, as they say, quality costs money, and so does innovation. Let's put it this way, when Lian Li make a case you're not going to see multiple clones based on the same chassis from the same OEM are you?

So what's so special about the PC-O5S (yes that's a "O" not a 0, the font we use in the page header makes it look like a 0). Well for a start it has an over sized tempered glass window. That, and the fact that you can wall mount it, or even place it horizontally. In fact, if Lian Li made bumper stickers this one would say " Lian Li does it Vertically, Horizontally, and Up against the wall". Before we tell you too much more though, let's have a look at them all important Technical Specifications.
