Conclusion
| General | + | - | |
| With the PC-A04 Lian Li has has quite a spacious M-ATX/Mini-ITX case in its portfolio which is futhermore able to carry a total of seven 3.5 inch drives. Therefore this case is perfect for a homeserver which need to offer a lot of diskspace. It would also look very well as a decent office PC. It is for sure that also the manufacturing quality of this case is on a very high level. | |||
| Manufacturing quality / Ergonomics | + | - | |
| Regarding this case the manufacturing is as high as it always is with Lian Li cases and therefore they din't make anything wrong this time either. The fact that one can install up to seven 3.5 inch drive is very practical. Also enough for a case of this size are the two 5.25 inch slots. Generally this case leaves a good impression but it would have been nice to see some more useful features. The PC-A04 is quite a basic Lian Li case. Especially when one plans to put seven 3.5 inch drives into the case it would be highly appreciated if there was a well thought cable management, where you can route cables neatly to the backside of the motherboard tray. Concerning this point it would also be nice if the case was about one centimeter wider. | - Manufacturing quality - space for up to 7 Harddrives | - No cable management | |
| Recommendation | + | - | |
| Generally we can recommend the PC-A04 for quite a lot of things. It can of course be used to build a highly sophisticated NAS or home network server. On the other hand it can also be use as a multimedia PC, a gaming machine or simply a nice desktop PC. | - NAS - Multimedia PC - mATX-Gaming-PC - Desktop-PC |
