Lian Li PC-888 Case

The Disk Drive Bays

You know by now that this case has two external 5.25” bays located on the top of the case and four 3.5” bays for hard disk drives located in the middle of the case. No external 3.5” bay for floppy disk drive is provided and the case doesn’t come with any sort of adapter (you can by a 5.25”-to-3.5” adapter from Lian Li but this adapter does not come in blue).

In Figure 11, you can see a close-up from the two 5.25” bays. No screwless mechanism is provided.

The hard disk drive bays, on the other hand, are very special. Hard disk drives are installed inside individual hot-swap drawers, so you can install and remove hard disk drives without the need of attaching cables to the drives. Hot swap connectors are available in all four bays.
