Lian Li PC-Q37 Mini-ITX Chassis Review

A Closer Look – Exterior


The PC-Q37 is pretty small, but that’s to be expected given its mini-ITX motherboard support, but it is also quite wide and long for its form factor, meaning it should easily handle a larger graphics card. On the left side and on a large part of the front, you’ll find two gorgeous tempered glass panels, each held in place by aluminium thumbscrews on their corners.

Along the bottom edge of the chassis, a nice amount of ventilation to allow airflow into the chassis to keep things cool.

The right side panel is black aluminium and comes with a large ventilation section in the rear bottom corner. The ventilation is located to provide airflow to the PSU mount and comes with a magnetic dust filter on the interior. The panel is mounted on durable push-pins, so just give it a good pull to remove it, and push it back on to lock it in place.

Tucked into the front panel you’ll find a nice and compact I/O panel, with power controls, a pair of USB 3.0 ports, and audio jacks.

Around the back, you can see how the chassis is split into two chambers, with one side having room for the PSU, while the motherboard and expansion card slots are on the other. There are some fan mounts here too, should you wish to install a couple of 80mm exhaust fans.

There are two expansion slots, but since this is a mini-ITX chassis, it’s obviously tailored for dual-slot GPUs rather than two separate cards.

The top panel is another push-pull mount, so you can pop that panel right off when you need to. It has another big ventilated section, which is ideal for any top mounted cooling, which we’ll take a closer look at in a moment.

On the base, you’ll find four hard-wearing rubber grips on the corners, as well as a full-coverage magnetic dust filter to ensure you get clean airflow into your system.

Behind the filter, you’ll find a few fan mounts, but keep in mind that these will only be available if you don’t have a graphics card installed, as that would take up the space in the bottom of the chassis.

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!
