Lian Li's PC-6070 Aluminum Case

Construction

The PC-6070 is an all aluminum chassis, with the exception of its plastic fans and retractable feet. As mentioned before, Lian Li is well known for its aluminum products and they know how to use the metal alloy. The material is strong and can withstand the normal day-to-day uses. Though bending can occur with many aluminum cases, the PC-6070 uses 1.0mm thick aluminum throughout, making it extremely durable.

The front door is made of thicker 2.0mm aluminum and protects against accidental kicks or other potential damage to the drives behind it. It is curved slightly outwards to give the face a simple, yet modern, look. The door is lined with rubber surrounds to reduce noise levels.

The side panels are the traditional type with no windows or fans mounted on them. They are black brushed aluminum to match the rest of the shell and are held on by two thumbscrews. The panels are slightly difficult to remove. There are no indentations on them, like the Thermaltake Xaser Skull had, to get a good grip to slide the panels back.

The PC-6070's one security feature is the rear side loop, which, when in use, locks the left side panel and the motherboard to the chassis. This does not prevent someone from accessing though. The right panel does not have a lock and can be removed. Other features like front panel key locks as well as electronic intrusion systems would have made great additions for security.
