Holy crap. I'm such a fan of what lian li has been doing for itx, this and nr200 are gonna be super popular, we need more big case makers making amazing and affordable itx cases!
@@DanGerbe Oh yeah I know. It's in the video. But with supply in the tech space in general being an issue these days I won't believe it until I see it out in the wild.
Wow this case looks incredibly well-designed and decently optimized. The attention to detail is as expected of Lian Li. Can't wait to see some builds and more revews in it!
Lian Li has been killing it lately. I love how modular and adjustable their designs continue to move towards .I even had a Lancool II that I accidentally destroyed the glass panel recently, but because of the design I was pretty easily able to disassemble and convert into a surprisingly capable and versatile open test bench. I've been looking into doing my first ITX build lately and up until now I'd narrowed my case selection down to the Inwin A1 Plus. But depending on when other areas of the parts market stabilize and when Lian Li releases this model to the public, I might just have to end up using the Q58. Thank you Hardware Canucks for another outstanding breakdown and review!
I would love to see them give us the option of replacing that glass with a mesh panel. I think double mesh would look pretty cool if it carried on with the different colour and texture two-tone look.
Yeah…the window really is ugly. Maybe if it had smaller bezels? Idk. It may have the same problem like really short and wide windows on "modern“ houses. It just looks unnatural.
Imagine having 2 of them 1 in living room & 1 at desk and swapping the os & games inbetween the 2 setups in seconds. Wow what an idea. Hotswap everything
Personaly, I'd love to get a full mesh version of the side panels. That said, I kinda do understand that they also have to sell towards the TG-obsessed market.
Personally I don't mind the look of this. The glass gives it a unique appearance, and it's still mesh where it really matters (in front of the GPU). In fact, it's probably beneficial to GPU thermals since a negative pressure setup would be forced to draw in all of the air directly in front of the GPU, not above it as well.
Yeah. Full sized side meshes. Then the case should be simpler, cheaper and - on my opinion - better. I like the dual tone look but I would not sacrifice the performance for it. With that in mind it should be quite a good option.
Lian Li just NAILS every case they make. Unreal. When it's time for me to upgrade, I think I'm going to slim down, build an ITX build, and this will be the case I use.
I like it. Finding a proper iTX case just got a little easier. You know I can see someone saying I have a Q58 to impress someone less informed just to end up getting to their house to see this case. They could bring this anywhere.
It's amazing that it actually supports an ATX PSU. I've been wanting to move into smaller cases and was disappointed that the 011 Mini didn't support an ATX PSU as I don't want to give up my current PSU.
i can see the full potential of this case. 3 slot gpu, supports ATX psu (sacrifice one gpu slot), clean and unique look (i love it IMO), hot swappable 2.5 drive. i really do hope they finalize it right. This would be my next ITX case for my future build.
Got myself their 205M when I first built my PC, now i removed all the RGB and it lives in the O11 mini (so many more fans!), Now when I build a new PC I'll be moving my current build into that case after I get an ITX motherboard because I think it looks beautiful and would work well for bringing a PC to lan parties. Lian Li is definitely my favorite case manufacturer.
I cannot wait for this case. This is my dream itx case. Imma get it when it's released and do a custom soft tube custom loop with that sexy 280mm aio compadability
Great video, thanks for the content! The partial TG at the top had me excited, until you said the mobo is upside-down. Total head-scratcher, there! I like the idea of some mesh to improve airflow, the layout is good (allowing for a Top Rad, unlike the NR200), and there's a ton to like about this case! But it feels like the team designing the exterior panels maybe weren't talking to the folks engineering the internal layout. The two-tone look is nice, but if they're going with this layout (and thick black borders where the glass is adhered to the frame, as you can see @00:40 ) then it feels like the TG should take up 66% to 75% of the side (instead of just 50%). The point of TG is to show off your components, not your cables. It needs to be sized and placed on the case to achieve this; otherwise its just wasted cooling potential. Here's hoping they refine the design before summer - after 20 years of building PCs I'll be diving into my first SFF build this summer. The more case options, the better!
This is the case I've been waiting for. Literally been hawking for an ITX case that won't make me buy an SFX power supply. Those are super rare and usually end up being large for an ITX form factor. Immediate purchase when it's launched.
looks pretty good but youre right about the tempered glass top section only showing off a radiator and cables. maybe lian li should just let it be aluminum and sell it for a few bucks cheaper?
Lian li try something different.. Other cases either full glass or full metal... This case look beautiful with glass and metal. I take it the price is ok but not the cheapest
Dimitri, the tempered glass and mesh panels are interchangeable and can be placed in any position, with glass or mesh on top or under and also with one side all glass and one side all mesh.
This case would be fantastic if it just had mesh on the sides.. 3 Slot GPU!! Atx PSU!! in that small case. Everything i want, except for the random glass panel..
Came here from jay review and dude this case is amazing. I been meaning to get a good itx case and this makes it look simple to build. Will be looking to buy one soon
Looks like they took your recommendations on board! the updated version looks amazing and i'm definately waiting for this 1! thanks so much! was about to pull trigger on the nr200 pleased i saw this
I've been getting bored of my Nouvolo Steck and have been looking for some new options with tempered glass like the CM NR200p and LL TU150. The only boutique case I like currently is the Form T1D but I don't know if I want to pay that much. This on the other hand ticks all my boxes and if it keeps the price under $150 CAD will be my next case to try my first custom loop!
@@tommihommi1 well it's seems they're putting their own money into it now to lower the prices. SSUPD Meshlicious ($120 w/ gen 3 riser), Dan A4-H2O ($120 w/ gen 3 riser; original A4 is >$200), now this.
This setup could actually result in better GPU thermals than a full mesh panel. Think about it, a negative pressure setup would be forced to draw in all of the air directly in front of the GPU, not above it as well. CPU thermals might suffer a bit, especially when the GPU is under load (although let's face it, a 280mm rad is more than capable). It's actually quite a smart design imo, based on the more focused airflow design I'd expect it to beat similar cases like the formd T1 in terms of GPU temps. The fact that you can mount a bottom fan is pretty cool too, the double sided exhaust method worked amazingly well on the sliger SM580, and it should work just as well here.
@@LyK0sayour are totally right and with this layout an air cooled system could perform better then an aio, because the rad is blocking the only viable exhaust.
Really cool concept. I had imagined a similar TG/Mesh split side panel myself, but with a diagonal split with the mesh going to the bottom right corner and the TG the top left near the CPU.
Cool case. One thing of note: I have the NR200, with the water cooler on the side, and I have it pulling air in. So even with the rad on the side, I still only get hot air out of the top.
Route the power extension between the riser cable and the back of the motherboard, and it will disappear behind your GPU. Worked quite well for my setup.
IS there room to run the radiator tubes behind the power supply so that they run along the bottom of the case to the cpu? It would hide the cables coming from the psu nicely.
Is the riser Gen3 or Gen4? If you use low profile fans for the 280 AIO, do you think you could still fit an ATX PSU? How does this compare in size the to TU150? I see ITX cases being described in Liters, but that isn't often present on manufacturer or sales websites. It would be nice to have that kind of information standardized so I can better visualize the size differences without needing to find someone who happens to place various cases side-by-side.
What I haven't seen in any reviews of this case yet is that you can move the panels around and make it different. Lian Li shows this on the release video, I'd like to see someone actually do that and test it with the different scenarios.
The CPU side panel if can swap from TG on the upper half to mesh it would be great. The reason being is the CPU is cooled by AIO which is mounted on the top, PSU can mount fan below to feed enough air for it. slight RGB leak from the mesh on the top looks nice too. GPU side top panel is TG, some GPU is not that tall, hence if they allow the mount of a small screen is not bad too. cheers, just my opinion.
At first it made me really think of the FormD T1 (sadly no size comparison with it :( ), but the internals, especially the hotswap SSD and rotatable fan hub are really nice touches! I hope that some other manufacurers are gonna start making more SFF cases as well (hopefully while bringing something new to the table too)!
I cant think of another itx case offering so many options at this price point. This looks brilliant. I really hope they add an option for a gen 4 riser, even if we have to pay more for it.
I agree with you about the view opportunities with regards to the position of the glass. Having said that, I usually avoid glass like the plague, even in midtowers, where are the opportunities of travel are significantly lower, and therefore unlikely to break it. But this design is the first one I've seen, with glass anywhere, that actually appeals to me. It would require thinking about how to build in it. I much prefer the idea of good airflow, and aesthetically, I find this two tone, mesh/glass, to be very pleasing and interesting. I might consider this for my next build, tho, I am really pulled to the nr200 still. I particularly like what you showed about the mechanics and build quality, and that is as important to me as aesthetics. (Airflow, price, mechanics and looks, in that order of importance)
You did such a fantastic job with this vide-Ohhhh!!! You are helping Lian Li sell hundreds of these things likely. I hope they are cutting you in with more than just a free case!!! You did a full on advertisement video for them!!! 🤑🤑🤑
this looks fantastic! the ATX PSU support, fan hub, airflow design, general versatility and great price are really unique. not quite ultra compact at 15L, but in turn it has huge compatibility for tons of fans, rads PSUs and even full size mass storage SSDs. matches perfectly with the external WD mybook HDD i have sitting here too.
These small cases are so nice, I can't wait to build in a small case one day, imagine they're fiddly to build in but they're so nice. I have a Lian Li LANCOOL II Mesh RGB coming tomorrow to replace my NZXT H510i. I ran 1440p 144hz on my brother's monitor. While playing COD it heated up quite a lot, GPU was about 80 and was loud so I thought I'd change to something with more airflow. Can anyone tell me if my decision was correct or not? I have a 240mm AIO which is on the front of my NZXT case right now but I imagine with more airflow I should get a lot better temps all round and quieter?
Any idea what the maximum height for radiator+fans is? I’m trying to figure out if the Liquid Freezer ii will fit, since it’s got a bit more stack height.
Nice to see more smaller cases hitting the market! Lian Li is also helping Dancase to manufacture theirs - including a new case like the Dan A4 with 240mm rad support
Kind of reminds me of the Lancool 2 mesh with its mesh side panels, and its competitive price point, oh and that Lian Li build quality that we all know and love.
You can have everything "Full Power" in the ITX space. They make SFX-L up to 1000W. I'm running top tier hardware in my NR200 with 280mm radiator and a clean install.
Thank you very much. Great and well produced video as always. I'll add this to my 'look at' list, along side the NR200. Someday, when I build my next computer. I would like to see the power and other 'outs' at the top.
looking good, hope they offer a full mesh version too... What's the Rad Clearance? 45mm with full fans? absolutly love the competion in SFF.....more options for us!!!
I really love the unique "Half Mesh - Half TG - Design". It is functional and looks good the same time. Only this big bunch of front cables makes me a little nervous.
they should make the panels swappable. Where you can put the TG at the bottom and mesh on top, or have a version with both mesh or both TG. TG bottom would make for a nice showcase for watercooled GPU.
Holy crap. I'm such a fan of what lian li has been doing for itx, this and nr200 are gonna be super popular, we need more big case makers making amazing and affordable itx cases!

Thank you Hardware Canucks for another outstanding breakdown and review!
The removable bracket below the PSU is some seriously appreciated innovation

is this better than the NR200?
I would love to see them give us the option of replacing that glass with a mesh panel. I think double mesh would look pretty cool if it carried on with the different colour and texture two-tone look.

Heck yeah mesh is the future. Get with the program lian li. They should know better. They have some nice mesh cases already.
Yeah…the window really is ugly. Maybe if it had smaller bezels? Idk. It may have the same problem like really short and wide windows on "modern“ houses. It just looks unnatural.
They should have double glass option.
Having the top part not in mesh will force more air from entering the lower mesh part and is improving the GC cooling.
Lian-Li is from Taiwan! Very proud of this company!
Imagine having 2 of them 1 in living room & 1 at desk and swapping the os & games inbetween the 2 setups in seconds. Wow what an idea. Hotswap everything

if you look at the meshlicious (which is made by lian-li), the mesh panel is more expensive than tempered glass.
what's the point of the tempered glass? I'm confused
in my opinion, it looks really really good
Aesthetics? RGB?
What's the point of motherboards, cables, etc. in different colors? :D
@Tom Storm he means in this specific case. Even Dmitry said that the TG panels don’t show anything but the radiator and some cables lol
Lian li try something different.. Other cases either full glass or full metal... This case look beautiful with glass and metal. I take it the price is ok but not the cheapest
Just wanted to say thank you to You and Optimum Tech bringing itx cases to the attention of mainstream manufacturers.
Excellent showcasing of the testing. You have just added me to the ITX group. Keep up the good work.
If they dump the tg panels, go all mesh and sell that version for 100$, I'm sold.
Not happening, lol. Mesh is most likely costlier than TG.
Add fanmounts to it and boom, incredible cooling as well
Or they can not develop anything, pocket the money, and be always out of stock on the current product. 🤔
Dimitri, the tempered glass and mesh panels are interchangeable and can be placed in any position, with glass or mesh on top or under and also with one side all glass and one side all mesh.

My new case for my future AM5 build!
I kinda love it!! My only concern would be about getting air into the case... Would love to see the thermal results.
It would be the same as a nr200. Intake at bottom and exhaust at top
Is there a version with a PCIe bifurcation riser? Ideally one with the extra slot behind the GPU, not in front of it...
Can you swap the side panels around? Show the gpu with the tempered glass
can you mix and match the mesh and tg panels to customize to like a full glass side or perhaps flip the mesh and tg? hope that made sense..
IS there room to run the radiator tubes behind the power supply so that they run along the bottom of the case to the cpu? It would hide the cables coming from the psu nicely.
Are the two panels swappable? Could swap them around for better effect for watercooled gpu
7:40 side panels can be swapped like one whole side can be mesh, if you switch it with the other side.
Is the riser Gen3 or Gen4? If you use low profile fans for the 280 AIO, do you think you could still fit an ATX PSU? How does this compare in size the to TU150?

Lian Li is also helping Dancase to manufacture theirs - including a new case like the Dan A4 with 240mm rad support
Kind of reminds me of the Lancool 2 mesh with its mesh side panels, and its competitive price point, oh and that Lian Li build quality that we all know and love.
You can have everything "Full Power" in the ITX space. They make SFX-L up to 1000W. I'm running top tier hardware in my NR200 with 280mm radiator and a clean install.
Thank you very much. Great and well produced video as always. I'll add this to my 'look at' list, along side the NR200. Someday, when I build my next computer. I would like to see the power and other 'outs' at the top.
Is the riser gen4?. And I hope there wil be an full mesh version
Lian Li really know what their doing! Seems like an awesome SFF! 🔥🔥
Is it possible to install the graphics card directly to the motherboard without using the riser cable/card in this case?
I made stanky bass face during this entire video. This case is beautiful.
looking good, hope they offer a full mesh version too...
What's the Rad Clearance? 45mm with full fans?
absolutly love the competion in SFF.....more options for us!!!
Would it be a good pair with a r5 3600 and a noctua nhl12s for cooling?
What are the names of the other cases in the video at 3:45 ?
About time doe a matx case review 🤔 maybe one under $50 or $70 🤔🤔🤔
I really love the unique "Half Mesh - Half TG - Design". It is functional and looks good the same time.
Only this big bunch of front cables makes me a little nervous.
awesome product! anyone know when will Lian Li actually roll this out? can't even see the product on their official website for now
Can you do a video on a full custom watercooled build in this case?
Does the metal mesh have a filter?
they should make the panels swappable. Where you can put the TG at the bottom and mesh on top, or have a version with both mesh or both TG. TG bottom would make for a nice showcase for watercooled GPU.
I'd still like to see brushed aluminum. Call me old fashioned, but it just doesn't seem like a lian li without it, and they do it so well.
Sir Canucks: This product is great, but with some problems.
Lian Li: Sure we`ll fix that later.
NZXT: *What I CAN`T HEAR YOU!!!*
That comment is FIRE! Lol
One usb 3 on the front ? Do they look on mb specifications?
This case has tons of potential for an ITX enclosure. Looking forward to the final product.
Clean video! Great overview Dimitri.
Noctura NH-U12S with ATX PSU semi modular, only air. Will those components fit fit perfectly?
Can i use an sfx-l and still have room for an 280 radiator in a Lian Li Q58?
does that means that using an atx psu will not be able to use a 3 slot graphics card at the same time?
