Looking back less than 5 years ago i really can"t remember of anyone who owned an HTPC system and i can"t really say that i remember that many HTPC enclosure solutions either. Today things have obviously changed and so many people choose to have a single HTPC system to use both as a normal Desktop system and as a Hardware Media Player while at the same time skipping the cost of an LCD screen which would in most cases be a lot smaller than their main TV (naturally). Up until today i have to admit that although i do have an small HTPC system i never did like them much mainly because of the tiny interior space which doesn"t really allow you to install large and many components. Lian Li has been amongst the very few PC Case manufacturers who have actually designed and manufactured medium-sized HTPC enclosures and their latest PC-V353A might just be one of their best ones to date.

Lian Li Industrial Co., LTD was founded in 1983. We are one of the largest and most reputable manufacturers of aluminium PC case in Taiwan. With over twenty years of experience in the computer products field, our dedicated team of engineers, production specialists and administrative staff provide the finest quality accessories available on the market. In 1993, Lian-Li Introduced the new lines of computer hardware, including bracket( for case & interfaces), Mobile rack(for H.D.D.), mounting kit(for FDD & HDD), aluminum PC cases, IPC, external cases, server cases and more. We also provide OEM & ODM services, you are assured of designs that will meet your exact specifications, innovative ideas in manufacturing that will give your products an essential market edge. Our outstanding quality has earned us ISO 9001 certification for all of our products. In addition, we back up our quality assurance with a two-year guarantee on most of our products.

The PC-V353A may not be the largest HTPC enclosure manufactured by Lian-Li but it comes with many useful features such as a high quality aluminum body, 7 fan spots paired with air-filters, 2 optical drive bays, space for two 3,5" and two 2.5" disk drives, room for graphics cards up to 300mm long and CPU Coolers up to 105mm tall, removable mainboard tray, 2 USB 3.0 ports and 4 PCI slots. Generally the PC-V353A offers the kind of features we mostly find in high end midi/full towers however the real question is just how good the final result can be when placing all these in an HTPC enclosure and that"s what we are here to see.

On the sides we see the color choice (for the product inside the box) and a small list with the specifications of the PC-V353A written in 6 languages.

Something we don"t see much with HTPC enclosures is the ability to remove the PSU cover, mount it on the unit and then slide the unit back in. This feature makes the entire installation process a lot easier so naturally i was glad to see it.

The side panels may not feature any noise-absorbing coating but they are held in place via several jointers meaning you can remove them just by pulling.

All six 120mm fan spots (4 front/2 top) come complete with air-filters. Of course there are no fans pre-installed something that may annoy some people but do take into account that people who are willing to spend much for any HTPC Case pre-installed fans are usually the first thing to go.

Unfortunately since we currently have none of the high-end mATX mainboards here with us i decided to skip the part where i build a system to showcase interior space since a normal mITX board like the ones we have here would be way too small for the PC-V353A. Of course i did some tests with many graphics cards and as mentioned earlier there"s a slight clearance issue with mGPU cards like the GeForce GTX 590 and the Radeon HD 6990 but you can resolve that by using one of the many after-market 6/8pin extension cables out there which are extremely easy to bend. Of course using enthusiast mGPU graphics cards such as the ones mentioned above is hardly the goal for any HTPC enclosure but the PC-353A can take it. Overall i can"t really say i found anything bad about the PC-V353A by Lian-Li during all the time i was checking it out. First of all it features excellent build quality and an all-aluminum body that weighs only 4.13Kg. Then we have spots for 7 fans (6x120mm/1x92mm), a movable I/O (left/right), two USB 3.0 ports, an eSATA port, 2 movable (left/right) 5.25" optical drive bays, 300mm of free length for graphics cards, 105mm for CPU Coolers and a removable mainboard tray which can accommodate even the best mATX mainboards with up to 4 PCI expansion slots. True it comes without any fans pre-installed and that will certainly disappoint some users but I’d never choose a PC Case based on whether it came with fans or not, at least not a feature-rich one like the PC-V353A.

Excellent quality, feature-rich PC Cases unlike any other in the market has always been the main reason as to why Lian-Li has been held in high esteem over the past decade from enthusiasts around the world. However when one decides to get the best there is (applies for pretty much everything in life) that automatically translates to extra cost and the current price tag of USD170 inside the USA and 159.90Euros inside the EU (Caseking) for the PC-V353A is pretty much proof of that. Of course there are many HTPC cases in the market that cost two, three and even four times more but there are also many cheaper ones. Bottom line if you want an all-aluminum HTPC enclosure with plenty of features and great airflow and you"re also willing to pay the extra price premium then you just can"t go wrong with the Lian-Li PC-V353A which is why it gets our Platinum award.

Case modding took off in the late 90s, and taught us all that computers could (and should!) look awesome. Much of the aesthetic went mainstream, and now tons of computer cases come with lights and windows and all the rest. [WysWyg_Protogen] realized those simple case windows could be way cooler with a neat LCD hack, and set to work.

The concept is simple. Take an old LCD monitor, remove the backlight and extraneous hardware, and then install it to the window in a computer case. When lit from behind via LEDs in the case, the screen creates a ghostly display through which the computer’s internals can still partially be seen. It’s a really compelling effect, and in theory, quite easy to achieve. All one need do is mount the stripped-down screen to the case and pipe it video from the graphics card.

In practice, it’s a little tricky. Disassembling the screen and removing things like the anti-glare coating can be tough to do without damaging the delicate panel inside. The windows typically used on computer cases can dull the effect, too. However, [WysWyg_Protogen] is continuing to tinker with the project and the results are getting increasingly impressive with each iteration. It doesn’t photograph too well, but it looks truly amazing in motion.

We often forget LCDs are transparent in their basic form, as we generally only use them with backlights or reflective backers. They really do look great when used in this transmissive way, though. Video after the break.

Actually beside myself right now. How does this look this good? This was a trash pile monitor and this looks like a 700 dollar case upgrade pic.twitter.com/4yBXlcY921

Computers are some of the most flexible, powerful devices in the world, but that power can come at a cost. Running the most powerful components (or overclocking those parts) can cause them to run hot, which can lead to hardware throttling and even failure. While PC fans have been a go-to for a long time, water coolers (and other liquid coolers) are vastly more efficient.

Thankfully, you don"t have to be a professional to get a cool (pun intended) rig these days, thanks to the availability of all-in-one (AIO) liquid coolers. These cooling units are self-contained, meaning you don’t have to worry about spilling water on your expensive gaming PC components, and they are incredibly easy to install. As an added bonus, they are usually far quieter and take up less room than air cooling components (making them perfect for mini ITX cases). Read on to find our list of the best liquid CPU coolers.

This 240mm cooler comes with socket support for the latest AMD and Intel processors, including AMD’s Threadripper processors. Pulling heat away from your CPU with a copper cold plate, it pumps liquid into a 240mm radiator fitted with two Corsair ML Series 120mm fans. It runs quietly and efficiently when your CPU is running cool, and it tops out at 37dBA when running at maximum (75CFM).

Managing the AIO cooler is also simple. You can control fan and pump speeds from within Corsair’s iCUE software right on your PC, and monitor CPU temperature to make sure your settings are giving you optimal performance. If visual flair is also your thing, the pump has 16 RGB LEDs on the head, and you can manage each light with the iCUE software, too. Corsair is a well-known and respected brand, and there is a reason for that. This is a high-quality liquid cooler, which is why it gets our top spot.

If you’re looking for a powerful way to cool down your computer at an affordable price, Lian Li Galahad GA-240A is the way to do it. This AIO cooler comes in under $120 but has a sizable 240mm radiator and dual 120mm fans. Those fans generate 2.6 mmH2O of air pressure and 69.17 CFM of airflow, ensuring ample air movement throughout your PC while remaining quiet.

The fans and the water pump housing of Lian Li Galahad GA-240A feature 47 addressable RGB lights to keep your system glowing. It’s also easy to switch between the 17 different lighting effects thanks to a handy little controller. Beyond that, the kit includes thermal paste and ensures compatibility with most major CPU sockets, meaning you’ll have everything you need to get up and running.

Looking for an all-in-one liquid cooler with a 240mm radiator, wide compatibility, RGB options, and a bargain price? The DeepCool LS520 is the one for you. It has a big radiator with two fans designed for higher static pressure and a strong, concentrated airflow. And the water pump has a powerful three-phase drive motor and great coolant flow. This cooler even manages to keep everything running quietly, as the pump noise only reaches 19 dB

Beyond the DeepCool LS520’s cooling prowess, you get adjustable RGB lighting on those fans, and the water pump features an infinity mirror to make its lights really shine. Motherboard connectivity even allows you to link and sync it with your existing RGB setup. And if you’re worried about the cooler working with your CPU, it complements a variety of builds thanks to its extensive socket compatibility, including LGA1700, AM5, and sTR4.

EVGA is a big name in PC components, and the CLCx 280mm, which refreshes our previous favorite, the CLC 280mm, is the perfect fully self-contained closed-loop cooling system. It features a 7th gen Asetek water pump, so you know it’s reliable and efficient. You also get a built-in 280mm radiator with twin 140mm hydro-dynamic bearing fans that are quiet and built to last, while you can control the fan or pump speed and monitor your system using the EVGA CLCx Software.

However, the real star of the show is the beautifully designed water block, which features a full-color 2.1-inch LCD screen that displays system vitals or personalized animations. Its fans also offer flashy adjustable RGB LED rings that’ll shine through your PC case. And you’ll be good to use the EVGA CLCx with almost any build thanks to its socket compatibility, including LGA 1700, LGA1200, AM5, and AM4.

If you need the biggest, most powerful liquid cooling unit, look no further. The Corsair iCUE H150i Elite LCD has a large, 360mm radiator to handle the hottest CPUs and the highest overclock speeds. The Corsair ML RGB Elite fans can adjust to higher or lower levels, according to the moment’s cooling needs.

As far as lighting, the fans’ RGB lighting can also be adjusted with Corsair’s iCUE software, but the unit really raises the bar with the pump’s 2.1-inch IPS LCD display. It has 8-bit color depth for millions of color options. The display can show visual effects, and even GIFs or memes, all at 30fps (and, of course, it can display handy system performance data, like your CPU temperature).

When it comes to liquid CPU coolers, there’s a good reason the Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240 Illusion stands out. It pairs RGB lights with translucent material for maximum visual impact. Imagine a glow stick dancing in the middle of your PC while it’s running, and you’ll have a good idea.

The radiator has wide water channels to increase surface area (and, by extension, cooling potential) and the fans offer up 47.2 CFM of airflow and 1.6mmH2O of static pressure, meaning this beast has cooling power (and cool looks) in spades.

The Alphacool Eisbaer Aurora offers just about everything you could want in an AIO water cooler. Its 240mm radiator provides powerful cooling, and the two 120mm Aurora Lux Pro fans are capable of 2.0 mmH2O of static pressure and 61.5 CFM of airflow. The biggest way this cooler sets itself apart is that you can open the fluid chamber and refill it, meaning it can have a longer life as part of your rig.

There’s a good amount of RGB lighting on display here as well, although it’s not as flexible as other options on this list. Both fans sport RGB light rings and the pump includes a transparent window with RGB lighting inside.

Several cooler manufacturers have displays, but NZXT’s Kraken Z63 truly stands above the rest. The display contains important information like the CPU and GPU temperatures, but you can also have it display animated GIFs and other things, letting you truly personalize your setup.

The Kraken Z63 isn’t lacking in power, either, as it comes with a powerful pair of 140mm fans and an advanced Asetek water pump. If you like the idea of having a display, but don’t need tons of RGB light flooding your system, this is the one.

ekwb’s EK-Nucleus is primed and ready to keep the hottest, high-end gaming rig cool. It"s compatible with the majority of Intel or AMD setups and most PC cases, while the installation is straightforward with a mounting mechanism included. The dual 120mm fans on this beast can produce 2.7 mmH2O of static pressure and 72 CFM airflow, enabling the 240mm radiator to handle whatever your CPU throws at it.

When it comes to aesthetics, both the included fans and the water block sport RGB lighting, and the whole kit is compatible with a wide range of motherboard RGB controls, so your rig will stay cool and look cool. As a bonus for those interested in cable management, the tubing is very flexible, letting you bend them easily to fit even in smaller cases. The rotary fittings also have new positioning making for a sleeker design that’s easier to cram into tighter spaces.

Easy Rhinoso can i sue lian li when my "moving chassis" falls off the rails and destroys everything inside of it?So the case would be called "Going Off the Rails on a Crazy Train"?

I like the concept of STEAM... great way to cool off your quad GPU dual CPU monster. Just let her steam out the window... and provide a limitless supply of cold water.

I like the concept of STEAM... great way to cool off your quad GPU dual CPU monster. Just let her steam... and provide a limitless supply of cold water.Yep, and good ones to catch some attention, for sure. There is no real practical purpose other than marketing, but I know of quite a few peopel that would be interested in such cases. They need to make a plane/helicopter one as well.

This case makes no sense, but ok, it is kinda funny. I guess since Lian Li has already made a whole series of perfect cases now they can just f*ck around.

brandonwh64How can this train move when you have cables coming out the back of the case?Technically, power can be delivered to the system via the train"s rails, and all other things can be run wireless, video included.

The most well known way to cool your CPU is through air cooling. Before liquid coolers were ever introduced, fans were the only way to provide cooling for your processor. Air coolers tend to sit at the cheapest end of the market, as there is a lot less involved in terms of R&D and materials. The standard design of most CPU coolers involves a heat sink fitted with heat pipes and one or two fans attached to either side.

There are a few factors that can affect the cost of an air cooler, making them more or less expensive. One of these factors is the included fans. Fans that can run silently at a high RPMs, and ones that provide optimal cooling, are expensive to manufacture, thus driving the price up significantly. For example, many of Corsair‘s fans use magnetic levitation technology which allows them to spin faster, without having a huge impact on the noise level.

Other factors that can drive up the price include the size of the heatsink, and the type of heatsink used. Heatsinks consist of 10s or 100s or thin metal fins. The bigger the heatsink, the more fins there are, driving up the manufacturing cost (and also the performance levels!). RGB is also another area to point out. Many modern fans utilise RGB to add some additional aesthetic to a build, and this will add to the price too dependent on how much RGB there is. Generally an air cooler will be much cheaper than an AIO or custom loop, but you can still find expensive air coolers out there.

Liquid CPU coolers or AIOs (standing for all in ones) tend to be situated at the higher-end of the CPU cooler market. Here you’ll find a wide range of coolers featuring different radiator sizes, varying designs of fans and extra features like RGB, LCD displays and more. Although these types of coolers tend to offer plenty of choice with concerns to budget, there are definitely some expensive options.

Liquid AIOs tend to be the coolers that have best options in terms of features. You’re less limited than with an air cooler, where there is not much a manufacture can really tweak, allowing for more custom designs. Recently, the market has seen widespread adaption of LCD screens on AIO coolers, offering further customisation and system monitoring.

The number of features on an air cooler has a direct impact on cost, with certain extras costing more than others. Features like a screen or RGB aren’t going to thermally improve your system, and neither will an LCD. The factors which will make a tangible difference to performance are the number, and size, of included fans, the quality of the pump, as well as the size and density of the included radiator.

We’ve spoken about custom liquid cooling before, and we’ve established that custom water cooling is definitely extreme. However, there are reasons why you might want to go the extra mile to make your thermals better.

Custom water-cooling is the process of installing water blocks to the components you want to cool, e.g. the CPU and GPU, and connecting these up with tubes, a pump, a reservoir and some radiators to dissipate the heat. Sounds simple, right?

As a minimum, you could be looking at $1000 just for soft-line tubes. Pricey! (But very, very cool.) We’ve put together a video in the past, where GeekaWhat channel host James assembles his first custom loop. You can watch that video here.

We all love RGB, and one of the biggest features to be aware of that will make your CPU cooler price tag higher is aesthetic. If you have an AIO that utilises RGB lighting on both the pump AIO and comes with RGB fans this may not be cheap. The same goes for air coolers. An air cooler that has extra RGB will add some great aesthetic, but the caveat is ultimately the cost.

LCD Displays being integrated into coolers is a more recent addition to the market. Brands such as Corsair and NZXT pioneered the technology initially, with others in the space following suit. These screens can be useful for monitoring thermals, fan speeds and other stats, but are a waste if your PC is situated under a desk or out of sight.

Manufacturers are constantly releasing new air and liquid coolers to coincide with new CPU releases from Intel and AMD. Generally speaking, new CPUs will work with older coolers, but it is not a given.

On the AMD side you shouldn’t have an issue, with their long standing AM4 socket a constant design throughout their entire Ryzen lineup. As a bonus, their new AM5 socket for Ryzen 7000 CPUs is set to retain cooler support for AM4 brackets. However, Intel CPUs don’t always follow the same design philosophy. This means every couple of years we tend to get a new socket, and this means new brackets are needed to fit CPU coolers.

Everyone hates a noisy PC. The whirring and buzzing of your AIO pump or fans is a consistent annoyance that most would rather avoid. Larger fans will run quieter, while more pricey models do a great job of eliminating noise, too. The higher the RPM, the higher the noise, but all fans aren’t created equal and budget units will often be the loudest.

If you plan on overclocking your build, you’ll need grab yourself a substantial CPU cooler. In realty this means a modern 240mm cooler or larger. We find 360mm coolers to be the sweet spot for high performing processors. Air coolers are a little more tricky to recommend, but a beefy two-fan unit will be a must for high power configs.

If you’ve got a smaller form factor build making the jump to liquid cooling, with either an AIO or a custom loop, might be better than a low-profile air cooler. This is because the use of liquid can allow you to efficiently move heat away from your processor and other hot components. This not only allows for better CPU cooling, but also cooler components across the board.

One of the final factors to pay attention to is pure aesthetic and looks. If you have a specific design for your build, then you might need to shop around to find a CPU cooler that fits the aesthetic. If you’re not bothered about RGB and you’re settling for a dark colour scheme, a stealthy cooler, like options from Noctua, might be a worthy shout.

Before recommending some of our favourite coolers, I’d like to make a point about expense vs quality. You might think that the more expensive components are the best, and in some cases this is true. For example Nvidia’s RTX 3090Ti is the best consumer gaming GPU that you can currently buy, but is it required for a good gaming experience? Definitely not. It’s something which we see particularly prevalent with coolers – there are lots of expensive options which aren’t necessarilyoptimal on the price to performance front.

The best way to find out if an expensive cooler is worth the extra cost is by comparing it to other cooler benchmarks within the market. You may find that a $200 CPU cooler which boasts an LCD screen, RGB and a refillable loop actually provides similar thermals to another liquid cooler that is half the price.

Corsair’s line-up of liquid AIOs are very good, but the H150i Elite Capellix takes the cake when it comes to performance. In terms of thermals this cooler is virtually unmatched when compared to every other liquid cooler available on the market. (With the exception of some very expensive or 420mm AIO options). If you’re looking to overclock your CPU, this cooler is definitely a great shout. In terms of aesthetic, this cooler leverages Corsair’s iCUE software, and their ‘Capellix’ technology, creating vibrant and bright LED effect that shine throughout your build.
