Lian Li do it again (PC-A05/PC-A16)

Messiah Khan · 5 Dec 2006 at 23:09

Seems like Lian Li have managed to sneak another couple of models under my case radar. The PC-A05;

And PC-A16;

The A05 looks especially good. It supports full ATX as well.

And why when looking at the A-16 does it look like the lovechild between a pc7 and a stacker 810?

^^ LMAO

Not liking the PC-A05 much (midget), the PC-A16 looks interesting though.

Hope its under £100

PSU in the front so you can fit larger coolers with reversed airflow... ******s stole my idea

FrostedNipple · 6 Dec 2006 at 00:08

a-16 looks nice, but the ao5 steals the pc7 buttonds and lights and way too much aluminum(thts how lian-li spelt it on the box) on the front, that stuff takes grease from your fingers like nobodys business

A05 looks nice. A nice looking relatively compact case. Hope OCUK stock these soon as I'll definitely nab one.

Tosk · 6 Dec 2006 at 02:17

im liking the PC-A16 i wonder how mch its gonna be

Bananadude · 6 Dec 2006 at 02:25

I'd guess somewhere around the £120 mark for the A16. The A05 maybe around £80, possibly less as it looks like it might be in the PC-7 class, depends how Lian Li themselves are pitching it.

Love the look of the A-16, and the flexibility. I've been waiting for them to make a stacker-like case, now this is it. Very interested

J1234 · 6 Dec 2006 at 18:33

The PC-A16 looks very nice, but I'm not sure about the other one.

WJA96 · 6 Dec 2006 at 19:17

The A-05 looks like exactly my sort of thing. Small case, big fans, ATX motherboard and space for 2 optical drives, a floppy/card reader and 3 HDD.

Just enough for a top-spec PC.

Agreed, it looks very interesting. Quite similar to the whole v600, G50 thing, but nice IMO. Would love to try and squeeze a water loop into the thing.

where does the power supply go in for the A-05 is it at the front?
i like the design as it gives me exactly what i want in a small case

ChoÞÞer · 6 Dec 2006 at 20:07

A16 is very nice indeed

It plugs into the back of the case, which has an internal kettle lead that goes to the PSU's power socket.

2 Very nicely designed cases there.
Sadly I've already got a very nice case in my 'Eclipse'.....

But you never know, it might win me over and I could put the Server rig in the Eclipse..... but then what would I do with my ATC :/
I need a new pc to go in one.....
