As with every Lian Li I've had the pleasure of unpacking the PC-V354 arrived in a sturdy full colour box. The case is cradled within by two foam bracing cages that protect it from both shock damage and any possible puncture damage from sharp objects pushing through the cardboard boxes skin. It is also wrapped in a thick plastic bag that further protects the case from scratches. That tick you can see in the 'red' option box hints that this will be a colourful review!


The box.

As promised the case is anodised in a beautiful 'pinkish red' hue. It's a very pretty case. Panel gaps are nonexistent - the fit and finish is certainly right up there with the best I've seen from the company. Indeed, from any company!


The PC-V354R.

Along with the box you receive a case usage manual and a catalogue showing a selection of cases, accessories and other products offered by Lian Li.


Manual and catalogue.

Also held within the case are a selection of accessories including motherboard, hdd and optical drive mounting screws, a cable tidy loop, zip ties and a case speaker to plug into the motherboard. There's also a USB header to dual USB socket cable and a PCI plate to allow that cable outside the rear of the case... if needed.


The extras.

The case has a very clean exterior - the front is dominated by a large perforated rectangular portion to allow cool airflow into the case. The upper most section contains the now ubiquitous 'stealth cover' to hide (or at least better match) the optical drive.


A clean looking front.

At the base of the front we find the 'Lian Li' name - it's certainly a subtle design... well, as long as you don't include the bright red finish!
