Renowned case manufacturer Lian Li is taking the Mini-ITX case to new levels, and their new PC-Q09FN is a prime example. The Lian Li PC-Q09FN is a brushed aluminum chassis barely larger than a cable box, with some incredibly flexible mounting options and a 300 watt 80Plus Certified PSU included. The PC-Q09FN is simple in styling, playing off excellent finish and clean lines to present an absolutely top-tier look. Top and bottom panels snap off in a unique tool-free deign, with aluminum feet on the bottom panel. On the inside, the PC-Q09FN shows off excellent design with flexibility to house three 2.5” drives, one 3.5” drive and one slim optical drive with the cages being removable and configurable. With all cages installed the PC-Q09FN offers 50mm clearance for CPU cooling, while this can be increased by removing the 3.5” and/or optical cages to max at over 100mm. To further aid in cooling, a 120mm exhaust fan is included with a side mount near the CPU/RAM area. The clean face of the PC-Q09FN features all brushed aluminum, with a matching optical drive knockout, two USB 3.0 and a large multi-color illuminated power button that also acts as a HDD activity indicator.
