Lian Li PC-X2000F Case Review
Conclusions
Contents
The Lian Li PC-X2000F is a case that will probably have its audience, but at USD 500 we simply can’t recommend it. We think that the savvy user will make a better deal buying a more cost-effective case and spend the difference somewhere else. Although it uses top-notch material, we didn’t feel that this case deserved its outrageous price tag.

- Seven internal 3.5” bays will be more than enough even for the most hardcore user

- Holes on the motherboard tray for routing and hiding cables behind the tray

Weak Points
