The Lian Li PC-A16A - hawtness

[g33zy]

Am I the only one in love with this case?

Any detailed shots of the layout or any reviews of the case?

I'd get the black version in a heartbeat if I didn't already have my sweetly modded PC-7B. I have yet to see anyone with this case though, which is a pity.

If I can ever spare 150 dollars, that would be what I bought.


It's my favorite case.

The website has a few pics of the case, thats the best I could find. It's not too bad, I like the front design.

This review http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/LianLi/PC-A16B/5 claims the top drive is unusable because of interference with the wires to the top power and reset switch.

The A16 is also slightly narrower and shorter than my PC-7, which is already about as small a mid-size chassis as I'd ever care to work with.

Kind of looks like a nice antec 900

That's a nice looking case, especially with the pre-drilled H2O holes at the back.. except I'd be stuck with the rad blocking half my DVI ports on my vcard again..

I had just bought my PC7 when this case came out, or I would have one.

It's funny because I got the PC7 and one of the 5.25 hard drive bays, just like the one included with the PC16.

The perforated front would look really cool with a white CCFL behind it...

BoxGods.com reviewed one.

I bought one.

I'll be taking pictures of it soon. It is GREAT! Very solid case. Lian-Li quality. Not much bad you could ever say about it.

I'll get pictures up soon, but its just hard with it being a black case and I don't have good lighting in my workshop. All that will change soon, though, and I'll work on getting some good quality pics.

So, the money questions. (1) Will the A16 accommodate a Tuniq Tower/Thermaltake Ultra 120 Extreme? (2) Will it accommodate two 8800GTXs for SLI?

that will probably be my next case

i like how you can move the 120 up and down

There actually are a few reviews on the li li site.

at least the pictures are nice.


I really love this case too. I have a PC7 now and I think this would be a perfect migration. I'm ready!!

I just want performance pcs to mod a window into it for me.

Looks like a great case, shame it isint as easy to watercool as the TJ-07 - for example (with the dual 120mm top exhaust already set up). I'd love a great soundproofed, sturdy, lightweight, watercooling ready case.

How easy do you figure it would be to mount a 240mm rad inside the front mesh? It's got 5 optical bays and I only need the one.

Well, I'm working on a Star Trek mod involving one of these cases...

The thread is here but you can see more at my website http://mods.xkill.net.

Can someone tell me, is the HDD rack detachable from the intake fan?

Can someone tell me, is the HDD rack detachable from the intake fan?

i'd like to know that as well

i've got no use for 3.5" drive rails

Three little screws remove the harddrive cage from the front fan enclosure. The fan enclosure is riveted to the front face-plate.


Here is a close-up shot of one...
