Hey guys,
An exciting moment for me here on the forums with my very first product review.
I have the new Lian Li PC-A70B which is part of their Full Tower Classical Series.
Firstly I’d like to thank Lian Li for supplying this case for review.
Here’s the web link for a synopsis of the design on Lian Li’s site:

The box arrived and the first impressions are very good.
Lian Li have packaged the case incredibly well with double thickness cardboard, polystyrene and a plastic wrap for the case itself. The only frustrating side effect of this is that it will take ages to unpack your beautiful new toy!
Also, despite its massive proportions the box is feather light… testament to Lian Li’s choice of aluminium as the production material.
First things first I assessed the overall impression I got from the case and also used my previous case (a Lian Li PC-101B) for comparison.
The A70 is well built and finished to a high standard. Panel gaps are small and despite its weight the structure is very rigid and strong. As you can see it is also a good deal larger than the PC-101.
Externals:
Up front you have five 5.25” bays the obligatory power and reset switches and a large meshed area. Behind this hides two 120mm fans supplying cool air to the HDD’s directly behind.
In most cases these fans would be responsible for hoovering up most of the dust from the room and liberally coating all your expensive PC equiptment but not in this case. Lian Li have thoughtfully included filters for each. These are easily accessed too via the main front panel which has be mounted using spring loaded push pins.
It’s now a 30 second job to remove the front cover, hoover the filter and reattach.
