Lian-Li PC-V2130 Announces $570 Gargantuan Case & Specs

Posted on August 2, 2014

Lian-Li is best known for its focus on all-aluminum, high-quality cases that tend to be priced prohibitively for most system builders. Those who can afford the luxury this time around will find themselves capable of building a server-class rig.

v2130-main

The PC-V2130 -- priced at just $570 for a windowed option, $500 normally -- can fit ten expansion cards, eighteen total 3.5"/2.5" drives, three 280mm radiators, a 360mm GPU (480mm with drive cages removed), and 180mm high CPU coolers. A 200mm PSU is also compatible with the case, so you can truly go server-class with this setup (and probably should, at that price).

At 237 x 640 x 625mm (9.3" x 25.2" x 24.6"), the case could also house a small child or dog.

The case includes somewhat standard amenities for Lian-Li: Dust filters in front of the pre-installed five fans, sound insulation on the side panels, panel design that deflects noise away from the user, and fully aluminum paneling.

v2130-002

In keeping with the times, Lian-Li has made the 5.25" cages modular and swappable with additional 3.5" cages. Stock, the V2130 can fit 8x3.5" HDDs in the main cages -- 11x3.5" HDDs if the modular 5.25" cage is swapped. An additional 3x3.5" drives (or 2.5", in all these instances) can fit behind the motherboard.

The enclosure can mount HPTX and XL-ATX motherboards, but also allows standard ATX and -- if you're feeling comical -- Micro-ATX form factors.

v2130-005

Shipping with the stock configuration, system builders are greeted by 2x140mm front fans, 1x120mm rear fan, and 2x140mm bottom fans. The PC-V2130 can also mount an additional 2x140/120mm fans in the top, though you'd perhaps be better off using this space for one of the three possible 280mm radiators.
