Lian Li PC-70 Aluminium Full Tower
Computer Case
Vital statistics
The PC-70 is normal tower case
height and width, but a bit deeper than the average. It's 210mm wide, just
like the PC-60, but it's 595mm tall by 595mm deep, including the feet on
the bottom and the sticky-out thumbscrews on the back (8.25 by 23.5 by 23.5
inches).
And it's light.
You know when you go to lift,
say, a jug of milk out of the fridge, and you think there's a lot more left
than there really is, so you jerk it up too hard and whang the top of the
thing off the bottom of the freezer compartment?
Lifting the PC-70's like that.
Looks big, weighs little.
OK, the PC-70 without a Power
Supply Unit - like all Lian Li cases, it doesn't come standard with a PSU
- weighs more than the average mini-tower case with PSU. But not a lot more.
Load it up with gear and it'll
be a lot heavier, of course. If you're going to be carrying your computer
around, though, a PC-70 will still be significantly easier on your back.
But not on your wallet.
Anybody who's checked out Lian
Li cases before will know that the price tag for a big 'un like this is
going to be a tad scary. They're not wrong.
Sans power supply, this bad
boy will set you back $AUD506 from Aus PC Market (Australians! Place your
order now! Click here!)
- but that price at least includes Australian courier delivery, to anywhere
in this wide brown land that isn't too alarmingly remote from Sydney.
Given that there are parts of
the country that are about as far from Sydney as Jerusalem is from London,
your pricing may vary.
Conversely, of course, if you
show up at Aus PC Market in person to collect a PC-70, you may well be able
to beat the price down a little.
Buy it with a 350 watt Topower
PSU and you're looking at $AUD599.50, delivered; with a 400 watt PSU it's
$AUD632.50.
