Lian Li PC-U6 Cowry Review

Interior

If the exterior surprised you, the interior will equally amaze. For such a small case, Cowry has most of the features you would expect from a mid-tower. Removing the side panels we can clearly see Lian Li have integrated a dual fan configuration to the side of Cowry. This is removable but should offer some much needed air cooling since Cowry doesn’t feature any case fans aside from these.

Behind the motherboard tray we have a large cut-out for the CPU backplate and a small clip just beneath this cut-out for keeping cables tidy. Right next to were the 24-pin power is situated we have 2 rubber grommets for feeding cables in. Being MATX and having the design Cowry has we don’t have all that many options for cable management. The motherboard tray could have done with being a little longer at the bottom to help conceal any cables behind the tray but Lian Li have done a great job with the space they have. Of course, exceptional build quality throughout can be expected.

Those dual fans can be easily removed. Lian Li have integrated their anti-vibration mounting rack that simply slides out without the need of using a tool. Each fan also has a dust filter.

As already mentioned, Cowry has space at the bottom of the case for mounting a PSU. This area does have anti-vibration pads which is good to see. Beneath the platform there is a dust filter can be removed from the outside of the case. To get the PSU into Cowry the unit has to be fed in from the back.
