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.

Is it just me or are the thermal images not working correctly?

Otherwise cool case I assume. Would be better to see temps though :)

Nice features inside...a bit dull looking on the outside. MUCH better than those silly little boy cases reviewed in the past.

I'm buying a PC-6070 when they get back in stock here (next week hopefully). It's more ezpensive than this one, but it has sound-dampening (big reason for choosing it, my comp is a bit too noisy now) and looks nicer :)

While I don't know if at some point they used 60mm, the PC-60 I have uses 2x 80mm fans.

I have an older kind of PC-60 (from looking at pictures, it seems these things went through several revisions at least - mine has the front fan speed control switch actually sticking through, while from some pictures it seems that this switch was behind the bezel), which has two 80mm fans up front.

Anyway, the review was good, and if I were doing it over today, I would get the new version instead. However, there's not much point in "upgrading," IMHO.

Nice case definately. I actually prefer the older layout for the most part though. I would like to see the newer front connector though, and the screw in standoffs.

Incedentally, I've got a PC-65B (Same layout as the PC-60, for the most part), and didn't the original PC-60s have dual 80mm fans? not 60mm?
