Introduction
Lian Li is known for their full-featured and extremely toned down, yet stylish looking products. The first two cases that we had a chance to check out in the past year, the PC-6070 and the PC-V1000, amazed us with great performance as well as innovative features to help ease PC hardware maintenance. And since metal working is one of their top skills, they know how to utilize aluminum in the best way possible.Lian Li is not a gaming chassis company, nor is it one of those manufacturers with a few years of experience that are just trying to get a product out there which would sell. They are in the business of creating designs and features that will help change the computer industry for the better through research and design as well as consumer feedback instead of just the latter.
Recently, Lian Li has given us the opportunity to look at the PC-60 Plus, which is a variation of the original PC-60 case. Take a look at some of the features below.
| Lian Li PC-60 Plus | |
 |
Included Features |
| - Updated cooling system with 4 fans - PSU fan cover - Removable motherboard tray - Full set of auxiliary ports |
|
| Possible Improvement | |
| - Right side panel security features - Tool-less features |
|
Though we have not had a chance to look at the original PC-60, we can still compare it to the new PC-60 Plus to see the changes that have been made and how they may help increase performance numbers in the end.
More information is available on the PC-60 Plus at Lian Li’s website.
Special thanks to Hampton Technologies for providing us with the PC-60 Plus.

btw: when there is CM Stacker case, no other cases are neccessary. Specialy not such acoustic resonators like Lian Lival - Sunday, February 27, 2005 - link

Can somebody explain to me WTF this "In mother Russia" BS is about?? IS it supposed to be funny?ProviaFan - Saturday, February 26, 2005 - link
Well, in that case, cHodAXUK, I can understand your feelings, even though I am almost entirely satisfied with my PC60. I might get the Mac-like case (the V???? series) if I ever get the dual Opteron board I want - the kind that is EATX and won't fit in an ATX case. ;-)For style, subtle works best for me - the wave case by Cooler Master is kind of cool IMHO. :)

I can't believe nobody has pointed out that this new case by Lian Li is louder than a TT Tsunami!TheInvincibleMustard - Saturday, February 26, 2005 - link
That duct is a nice idea, but how well does it work with different styled motherboards, eg DFI's new nForce4 line?I'm also curious where the intended airflow diagram went (page 4).
You also mention that you were worried about the PSU installation with regards to the top blowhole fan, but never mentioned if it actually turned out to be a problem or not ... did it work fine?

i like the plain case, lian li cases are fun to mod, its easy to chew through the aluminum and widen the fan intakes, ect. the main problem with the PC-60/61 was the front intake. the air hole were too small, and then there was a filter after that. i cut out the entire fan grille, and thew away the filter. so i'm glad this new case has better airflow through the front. i'm not sure if i care for the duct, or the GPU fan. i always window-mod the case, but if you don't have a window mod, i see how this is useful.and as for the sound levels.. doesn't everyone replace their fans with nice ones anyways? if you dont have $10 i understand though.

on photo it may look nice, but in real it is resonating, buttons leaving the holdings and so on :-/.
