Not bad, but I find it a bit confusing that we're still desperately holding onto the ATX standard after all this time. There are so many more interesting case design ideas rather than just simply adding 7 fans to a design from 20+ years ago.
Yeah, that thing looks very small. I do wonder if they only "expose" 4 slots but have the vertical height for the full ATX - definitely something I'd check out in person before considering a purchase. (Not that I'm in the market for a new Tower, and especially none with tempered glass)
From the pictures of the inside and the back, it's hard to see how they manage to get a full ATX board in there. It will be interesting to see what it looks like when/if someone does.
There's actually a video out by der8auer that shows it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=111&am... The back plate is movable and slides up, and then another backplate is added at the bottom to give you the bottom 3 PCI slots.
This seems like a very strange thing to get its own article. There are so many far more interesting cases, not that I really want to see articles about computer cases on anandtech.
For RAD/AIO size there are multiple sites with conflicting information. Some sites to include a video at CES 2020 state that with a Micro ATX motherboard you can only fit 240mm with zero support of 280mm, but your site states it can fit a 280mm RAD with a mATX board. Just looking for clarity if it can be provided, as this will determine parts for my next build. Thank you for your help and support.

This is relevant to my interests. But am I blind, where is the PSU?Retycint - Saturday, January 11, 2020 - link
It's on the right side of the case, hidden behind the motherboard mounting plate.flyingpants265 - Monday, January 13, 2020 - link

Doesn't ATX require space for 7 PCI slots?

Thank you!wilsonkf - Saturday, January 11, 2020 - link
You will use another motherboard tray, which should have 7 slots.The tray is integrated with the whole backplate, I suppose. Check a 20 years old case PC-60 and you can figure out.

Perhaps it's more about whether the cases want to be seen on Anandtech.But maybe you could link a few interesting ones while you're here?

The <20L Sliger Cerberus X scoffs at this portly Lian Li being called a "mini" ATX case.Death666Angel - Saturday, January 11, 2020 - link
265€ plus shipping, totally comparable!Retycint - Saturday, January 11, 2020 - link
I didn't know we were gatekeeping case sizes now? It's mini by pure virtue of being smaller than typical ATX cases. End of storyDug - Saturday, January 11, 2020 - link
Yeah, this Lian Li still has massive amounts of dead space in it.dwade123 - Saturday, January 11, 2020 - link
Too bad that case is fugly and overpriced with worse airflowswsmithss001 - Wednesday, May 20, 2020 - link
