Lian Li PC-Q30 Aluminium Mini ITX Tower Chassis Review

Complete System


Total build time on this chassis was a lightning quick 10 minutes, one of the fastest builds I have ever done and that is because it is just so simple to work with. Unfortunately out MSI GTX 560 Ti was too large to fit without conflicting with the PSU, but there are plenty of shorter cards on the market. The Silverstone SFX power supply isn’t modular, so there was no mucking about with custom cables and there is a load of space in the base of the chassis to keep your cables out of the way.

Airflow it looks pretty good and we’ve got no obstructions on either the left or right side ventilation. We’ve gone with our Akasa low profile cooler for this build, but you can see there is a great amount of space on offer for a larger cooling unit, just shame there are no screw mounts for a radiator on the left or right side.

While not the most professional looking cable management ever, having it all at the bottom should keep the view of the motherboard clear when we re-install the front panel.

Everything looks good around the back and the top panel should allow for easy access to things like HDMI, USB and ethernet connections.

With the side panel back in place we can see a great view of the chassis interior, with plenty of light being able to enter the chassis from the, front, side and top panels.

The curve of the front panel makes it a little tricky to take pictures off, capturing the right from my flash from most angles, but you can still see pretty clear, although it may be worth investing in braided cables for the motherboard connections to keep a nice clean look.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
