Our trip to Lian Li at Computex this year sported several models of their new range of desk-based chassis, but on the side lines next to those we caught a glimpse of several cases that were almost ready to go to mass market.&nbsp; One of them was the PC-V2130, which Lian Li is formally announcing the release of today.</p>

At a volume of 94.8 liters, the full tower size will support motherboards up to HPTX, E-ATX and XL-ATX as well as ATX/mATX/mITX.&nbsp; The chassis has wheels in each of the corners for mobility, and each wheel is lockable. &nbsp;Total dimensions measure 237mm x 640mm x 625mm within the 9.8 kg aluminium chassis.</p>

Up to eleven 3.5&rdquo;/2.5&rdquo; drives are supported, along with another four 2.5&rdquo; drives on a removable bracket.&nbsp; The 5.25&rdquo; cage is also modular, supporting either three 5.25&rdquo; devices or three of the 2.5&rdquo;/3.5&rdquo; drives. The rear of the motherboard also has room for another three 2.5"/3.5" drives, making eighteen possible in total. The top panel provides support for 240/280mm radiators, with space for two more 280mm radiators and the front and bottom of the chassis.&nbsp; The front IO panel is on the top of the chassis and uses a stealth cover when not in use.</p>

The chassis is designed to be as tool less as possible, and the ten PCI/PCIe expansion slots are suitable for almost any GPU arrangement. The inside of the side panel and the front door is lined with Lian Li&rsquo;s sound absorbing foam, with the fan vents have removable filters.&nbsp; The front of the case is protected by a lockable vanity panel and behind the motherboard is 31mm (1.2-inches) of cable management space. &nbsp;Up to 360 mm of VGA card is supported, as well as 200 mm power supplies and 180 mm CPU coolers.</p>

The cases should be available via Newegg by the end of August.</p>
