INTRODUCTION
Lian Li introduced the full tower PC-V2010 PC chassis early in 2008. It's almost a mirror image of their PC-V2000, but at the same time it's not. It looks strikingly similar upon first glance, but upon closer inspection, you can easily see that it's a whole different beast. And I do mean beast. The Lain Li PC-V2010 is large by any standard. I mean, it's HUGE! And it's beautiful.
Gone from the LIAN Li PC-V2010 are all the little holes that perforated the front, rear, and bottom of the PC-V2000. However, all seven of the 5.25" front bezels on the PC-V2010 are vented and include air filters. The PC-V2010 also incorporates a 14cm intake fan, a 12cm exhaust fan, as well as a 12cm fan mounted on the graphics card holder to cool the memory and north bridge chip, all controlled by a three-speed fan controller that is new to this chassis. Lian Li has maintained its rounded edge design, still using a hair-lined brushed anodized aluminum finish with their all aluminum chassis.
Another difference that can been seen upon closer inspection is that the multimedia I/O ports have been upgraded to include e-SATA and two additional USB ports. It's located on top now and includes a dust-free cover. There are two more dust-free covers on the top towards the rear. These cover the holes that support liquid cooling systems. But outside appearances aren't the only thing that sets this chassis apart from its previous incarnation. There are a multitude of internal improvements that have been made as well. Though it's still a tool-less design, when you remove the side panel with the tool-less latch, this time it's from the left hand side and not the right. The PC-V2010 has been redesigned so that the motherboard tray is rightside up and not upsidedown. Also, the motherboard tray is removable, and that's a very welcomed feature, indeed.
Let's look at the PC-V2010 now and learn a little bit about Lian Li before we move on.
