Lian Li is a name synonymous with quality in the case market. Almost every year, they release new chassis, all improvements upon the last in their line. Naturally, when LanCool PC (a subsidiary of Lian Li) said that they wanted to send over a Lian Li case, I was pretty excited to check it out.


Today's review sample, the PC-A17, may have a familiar sounding name: it's the next generation PC-A16 case, and they're about as similar as their names are (A16 left, A17 right). Both cases follow the same basic aluminum design, and their differences are subtle like the removal of the PCI slot wind tunnel. Full specifications, from the Lian Li website, are below:


The PC-A17 has some pretty ordinary mid-tower specs, but some extraordinarily sleek looks. Continue on as we find out if this case is as good as it is pretty, or if it's a step down from the quality we have grown to expect from Lian Li.
