For me the Q15 is a step in the right direction. I was saying only the other day that I wish LL did an ITX version of the V351/2/3 mATX cases. Only one expansion slot though = no sale so fail there LL.

The Q18 seems to be a direct replacement for the Q08 with the TU200 being a portable version and the Q25 being the server/NAS version. I would say it is LLs only "gaming" ITX case.

I dont really get the point of the Q12 it seems to be an upright version of the new Q09FN but with no ODD so useless as an HTPC.

Q09FN is a restructuring of the Q09F to fit an SFX PSU which is nice. Would like to see more SFX PSUs in ITX builds please as the 450W Silverstone PSU will happily power any ITX gaming rig so you don't really need any more than that.

Q05 I have no comment on at the moment. It looks like a rack to me.



Damnit Lian-li if that Q15 had 2 expansion slots I would already have a replacement for the SG08. Why do you not want my money?
 
Is there any replacement for the Q07? That setup is perfect for me with room for an OOD, a 2.5" HDD/SSD (for OS) and a 3.5" for mega storage.

Speaking of which.. there is no immediate danger of the Q07 being EOL yet right?

The replacement for the Q07 is the Q11.

On another note - the Q18 is looking good for an ITX gaming rig - enough room for a big graphics card and potentially enough room also for a corsair H60 rand or similar in the roof? Could be an awesome little rig

Yes it is like the Q08 so I am guessing that a slim rad will fit on the top fan like in the Q08. However it is slightly larger than the Q08 and much larger than the equally capable SG07/08.
 
Q12...
First look, i thought it would be a server case with a M-ITX board, smaller than ATX powersupply and a crap load of hard drive cages.
At second glance inside. 4 or 5 HDs, full size powersupply for a m-itx board...Sounds likes a gaming case, but with a twist....

You sure you mean Q12? Has an SFX PSU can fit 1x 3.5" and 2x 2.5" HDDs and no expansion slots for graphics cards =/= gaming case.

I don't think we'll ever see the Q12 or Q05 ever again. I would like to see the Q09FN released and the Q18 is a dead cert as the Q08 replacement but with the Q25 already out I dont really see any need for it actually as the only difference seems to be some holes in the front. Unless the Q25 is going to have a very short life and be replaced along with the Q08 by the Q18. Q15 needs some work but I dont think it will be seen again.
