The PC-Q28 is one of the most compact cases on the market, but does it have the cooling to back it up??

Leon li... Linus i think you made a typo there.

Where'd you see that? It's the original file name (Brandon doesn't know how to spell Lian Li) but it shouldn't show up anywhere that I'm aware of.

[Izaya Orihara]

Also what? A cheap Lian-Li case? I was expecting 300$.

It was the video title on youtube. It's fixed now  

[Phage]

can already imagine a sick mod for this case

[BRiteBak]

Got there quick! loving the chrome add on!

You could improve temp by replacing stock fans with propper static-pressure optimized ones, those would intake more air to the case, resulting on better temps

Looking Good

What is iscuzzy? He mentions in the video it sounded interesting? Sorry probably spelt that wrong.

If I ever do end up needing a media rig for the same scenario Linus uses it, i'll keep this in mind, though as sleek a case it may be, I've got no need for it.

Neat review, though, chuckled at the gloves.

But just one thing I wanna mention, I don't mind, personally, having the little clip introducing the video before the channel intro, though every time before it fades into the intro, you can see the clip continuing and I find it jarring, haha.

 

So yeah, idk...

iSCSI? Haven't watched the video but that's what springs to mind.

Now the problem is that I don't really know what it is. All I know is that it's probably internet small computer system interface and is related to network storage.

The biggest plus and minus about this is the brushed aluminium. Looks absolutely stunning but is a pain to work with because you are so focused on not to stain it (speaking of experience).

 

Of course this only counts if you care about keeping the case nice and clean otherwise the brushed aluminium is a pure plus.

I am not sure of the proper spelling but it is some kind of program that allows him to stream media from his NAS on his home network if I am not mistaken.

is that why he's wearing gloves?

Yes, yes it is.

 

 

@LinusTech

Can we expect more Lian-Li reviews in the future?

[jimithebear]

Thanks for the video Linus. Instead of modding the case to allow for more intake fans, why not recommend the PC-Q18 instead?

 

SilentPCReview show off some tasty pics;

Tek Syndicate also reviewed it;

 

It comes with a 140mm intake fan with a cut out/filter to add an additional 140mm at the bottom. The exhaust fan is also 140mm. Surely a superior alternative for improved airflow?

 

There's even an aftermarket silencing kit courtesy of Zone Mods/King Mod with pre-cut foam pieces;

I wish Fractal Design would minaturise their Define Mini further to compete with the super-minis? Using bigger 140mm fans to boot.

[Polyvalent]

Ive got a Lian Li full tower and I know what you mean about not wanting to touch the brushed aluminum. They're wonderful cases.

[LuckyCharm]

Linus should to a pc modding guide on this case!

HOLLY BALLS! 100C on a 660Ti.  I would be interested on how a blower style would preform.
