Lian Li PC-X900 Case Review

The Disk Drive Bays

The Lian Li PC-X900  comes with three 5.25” external bays. The top-most bay cover has an aluminum retractable bezel for you to install your optical drive behind it, this way the “face” of your optical drive won’t be appearing, improving your computer aesthetics. The top two bays come with screwless installation mechanisms, but you will have to use regular screws (the case comes with a set of black thumbscrews) on the bottom 5.25” bay. The bottom 5.25” bay comes also with an adapter for you to install an external 3.5” device, such as a floppy disk drive, memory card reader, or fan controller.

This case comes with two hard drive cages, both removable. One is located at the top of the case and supporting four 3.5” hard drives (see Figure 16), and the other one is located at the bottom of the case, supporting three 3.5” hard drives (see Figure 17). All of them have anti-vibration mechanisms, and hard drives are installed using black thumbscrews. Unfortunately this case doesn’t come with bays for 2.5” devices.
