  Introduction

Lian-Li has been making high end enthusiast cases for years now, anybody looking for light weight aluminum cases with excellent classy design will have stumbled upon the name. Today we feature our first in-house Lian-Li case reviews with help of PC-Cooling.de.

The PC-7 mid-tower case series is arguably their most popular enclosure, the latest version brings it up to III, this SE unit we have in for testing comes in black brushed aluminum, it’s also available in silver color. PC-Cooling sends the case in its original cardboard box, which has the necessary info printed on the outside:

We found the case inside in excellent condition with no damage from transport.

Specifications

Lian-Li maximizes the space inside the mid-tower, limiting weight and finding a balance between functionality and looks, here are the details:

Those wondering what’s different between the PC-7 SE-B II and PC-7 SE-B III, the answer is: not much. PC-Cooling sells both at the same price of €99. They come without power supply and physically they have the same dimensions, number of drive bays and looks.

The difference is in the details; from the outside you can notice it from the top:

Where as the PC-7 SE-B II has a top 80mm exhaust (and optional fan mount), the SE-B III has no fan hole in the top panel that corresponds; instead you get a grill over the PSU area, allowing hot air to escape, or the PSU to draw in cool(er) air.

The inside differs only in the HDD bay area, where as the II version requires screws to install the HDDs, the III does away with that and incorporates a larger bay with vibration noise reducing HDD mounting rubbers.
