Lian-Li announces a new brushed aluminum Mini-ITX chassis ? PC-Q30. With its curve-shaped design and large acrylic front window the fully aluminum PC-Q30 allows users to show off their systems, and is sure to be the talking piece of any room. Whether in the living room, bedroom, or office, the PC-Q30 with its curve-shape and brushed aluminum finish takes visual command without being ostentatious.

Additionally, DIY builders can put their stylized internal components and intricate builds on full display ? as they should not be hidden from sight. Thanks to the two expansion slots on the top of the chassis, the PC-Q30 supports graphics cards up to 200mm (7.8"). For storage, up to four 2.5" hard drives or SSDs can be mounted in the removable hard drive cage at the bottom of the chassis. A 140mm fan in the rear of the chassis expels hot air, while ventilation on the top and side allows for cool air to enter.

A small form factor power supply up to 125 mm (4.9") is placed on rubber pads in order to reduce vibrations. The front of the PC-Q30 is minimalistic in aesthetics and houses the dual LED illuminated power button that glows blue when on and red while loading. The I/O panel with two USB 3.0 ports and HD audio connections is located on the left side of the front of the chassis to not interrupt the elegant aesthetics. Price and Availability The PC-Q30 will be available in June in the US and Canada for the suggested retail price of US$149. For more information, visit the product page.

I like it. We need more evolution, and although i´m certain this design won´t turn out to be the next best thing, it might influence the market enough so we have less rectangular cases. Many current standard designs were influenced by freaks of their own time you know. I give it two thumbs up and a giggity.
