Lian Li PC-TU150 vs Silverstone SG13

..WHY The good: -has a handle, that should be the only reason you buy this case, there are plently of other, better made ITX cases without handles that are a better build and experience and look more classy -It's got good airflow -has a closed top for pilling stuff on (doesn't seem to gimp airflow -works with my hybrid 2080ti -$100 is a fair price for this case It's a pc case, I stopped caring about RGB or staring at my case more than my monitor and I wanted to be able to easily carry it with me on my photo/video shoots (where I go for a week at a time) so I can edit and cull with ease

I tried to get away with using a front-mounted 140mm fan and the stock Intel cooler, but it ran a bit warm (high 70's in Cinebench r15 testing). Adding the Corsair AIO dropped the temps by >20 degrees C. The layout of the case is nice, and the size was perfect for my needs, but I wish it had higher quality materials and an easily removable dust filter. The front has a cheap-looking plastic edge, but overall it's nicely designed

Case in point, today we're going to be testing this system that I put together in the Lian Li TU150 Mini ITX or Mini DTX case and it's a tale of mixed...

The third case came and as they say, the third time's a charm. The third case came with no quality control issues that I could immediately see. Upon closer inspection, I did notice that the removable top and side panels did not sit completely flush with the rest of the frame, but it was only noticeable if I was looking for it. Now that I had a case I was happy (enough) with I began the build process

Pros: - The carrying handle; the biggest factor that lead me to buying this in the first place - Part compatibility; This thing can handle beefy GPUs, up to a point. I have an EVGA 2080 Super XC Ultra, and there's still plenty of length left. It is also a 2.75 slot card

This case is excellent, but tiiiiiiny. Thoughts? Make sure your board fits. God help you if you have a gpu. Get a modular power supply if you can afford it

This tends to lead to a bit of a cable mess in the top right corner of the case, which is smartly blocked out by the glass panel. There isn't really enough depth behind the motherboard for easy cable routing and especially SATA cables are annoying to deal with. However after some finagling everything will fit and you will have a beautiful PC that is also portable. 8/10 would buy again

If you're looking for an affordable itx case that can fit in a backpack and is easy to build in- just get this one. The sandwhich style itx cases are all $150 minimum and all the other cases don't come in this form factor. I also love the white version - great style. This case is really easy to build in - I've build dozens of systems and this one was actually one of the least cumbersome cases I've worked in

Another issue is with the paint, I bought the black version and I was super careful as I knew the paint would have a chance of scratching. I plotted each panel on a smooth surface and 2 of the panels decided to scratch and now there’s a couple silver scratches on both of the panels which really messed with my OCD. One of the letters of Lian Li on the front panel also fell off for some reason which was dumb. There’s a couple more issues I had with it but they weren’t as bad as the first 3 I listed

I actually had to bend some metal to get the PSU into it (Corsair cx750m). You definitely would have to remove the PSU to make any changes on your mobo. I used a 140mm fan in the front of this build, and the case only had 3 mounts onto which to attach the fan. Can't get a 4th 140mm fan mount??? It's pretty thin and somewhere flimsy metal

My review is kindof all over the place but I give this a 10/10. If you have some big air cooling on your hardware but want it fairly small with a handle to carry it, this is absolutely the case to get.

I know it is an old model but boy does it amazes... For sure you have to look out for dimensions and even with a modular PSU there was no way to fit also the disk cady

For the TU150 though, it definitely gets my recommendation overall for an ITX system that isn't sweating the details when it comes to space optimizati...

The front supports both 140 and 120mm fans, I set mine to exhaust and this would be perfect spot to mount a 120 or 140mm all-in-one water cooler for t...

Airflow is actually quite decent for an ITX case. And then the cable routing options are fantastic. It has basically everything that you would expect ...

Things I love about the case. I got the white quiet version that does not have the mesh in the front. Simple clean design. Enough mesh to allow the GPU, PSU, and the CPU heat sink to stay cool under moderate use (with basic cooling)
