  • The internal 3.5" bays are provided by way of a removable cage in the bottom front of the case. This cage is fastened to the case by two small screws (of the non-thumbscrew type). These screws are the first downside of the PC-60. They are hard to get to when drives are installed in the cage, making quick removal of the cage next to impossible.

    In contrast, the external 3.5 cage is a snap to remove. Held in by three thumbscrews, the cage easily slides in and out. Lian-Li even gave the cage a wide enough berth so that there is clearance for the screws that hold your drives in place. We applaud their attention to the small details like this one.

    The buttons on the case are small and sturdy. Unlike the "squishy" and large buttons found on most cases, the PC-60 uses tensile springs behind their buttons to give them a solid feel. The reset button is small and recessed, making it much more difficult for your 4-year-old sister to reset your computer in the middle of a game of Black & White. Power and Hard Drive LEDs are small but noticeable, and all the front panel features are labeled with embossed text to denote their functions.

    Finally, the front panel of the PC-60 is accented by black carbon fiber trim on both the top and bottom. For some, this simply ruins the case. For others, this trim adds nicely to the design of the PC-60. At first I found the trim to be an eyesore, but after using the case for some time now, I have grown to like it. At best, the trim is barely noticeable and a minor feature of the unit.
