Lian Li Releases New Mini-Tower Chassis

From Tom's Hardware: The new PC-A05N could be the perfect choice for those that require an attractive, conveniently-sized case, as it packs effective cooling for today’s demanding, heat generating hardware. The new design features the expected Lian Li base qualities such as the brushed aluminum finish, sturdy construction, and ease of use. In fact, everything you would usually expect from Lian Li is here in this new case as well.

Through the use of the new "unconventional" front-mounted PSU design, the internal air flow of the A05N is greatly enhanced. Instead of entering the case via the front grill (and exhausting out the back like most cases currently available), air is drawn into the case from the rear via a 12cm (120mm) fan. Air is then pushed out the front via another 12cm (120mm) venting fan as well as through the PSU fan (if applicable). The front vent fan sits directly behind the hard drive bay to help draw air across the installed drives on its way out.

Other features of the A05N are mostly standard, such as two external 5.25-inch drive bays, one external 3.5-inch drive bay and three internal 3.5-inch hard drive bays. Each HDD bay makes use of rubber anti-vibration grommets to reduce noise. The top of the A05N sports standard multimedia port access like many cases do: two USB 2.0 ports, one FireWire and audio ports.
