Lian Li PC-10N Review

Installation

Overall we found the 10N relatively easy to deal with when installing kit inside the chassis. The only aspect that we struggled with was the cable management which takes considerably more time and effort – not least because the cable brackets are positioned to be horizontal only and not vertical.

We’re pleased to report that all our high-end kit had no clearance issues at all and it wasn’t long before we were up and running. The lightness of this case with its aluminium construction really helps with the installation process – it’s easy to lift up the case at different stages compared to rival cases which are commonly steel, and heavy.


A very clean and tidy system



Cable management is slightly different


In order to install a 3.5” drive into 10N it is necessary to attached four specialised screws and respective rubber rings. These rings help the drive to slide into the HDD cage and offer a degree of anti-vibration.

For 2.5” drive installation the process is similar, except screws are attached to the underside of the drive along with the rubber rings. 10N has allocation for two 2.5” drive spots on the roof of either HDD cage as pictured below.

2.5” drives fit onto the top of HDD cages
