LanCool Metal Boned PC-K1 Chassis reviewed @ ITreviewed

news · October 28, 2008

Hello,

We’ve just posted our latest review and would love it if you linked to it.

Thanks greatly!

“Lancool’s (a brand owned by well respected manufacturer Lian-Li) latest

offering is aimed at the mainstream gamer and enthusiast in the mid- to

high-end market segment. The PC-K1 (around £85) is a relatively subdues

midi-tower chassis that cuts straight to the chase. Exquisitely cut from

aluminum and steel, the chassis is a good choice for the discerning needs of

enthusiast level gamers not interested in garish accessories. A really neat

feature is a little flip-open dust-free lid on the top cover which reveals

multimedia I/O ports for easy access. Under the lid is an I/O bracket which

accommodates two USB 2.0 ports, a single IEEE1394 port, and HD+AC97 Audio

in/out capabilities. The chassis supports full ATX and micro-ATX form factor

motherboards and has a secure power supply bay designed to keep it rigid

during transportation. When it actually comes to building your machine it

couldn’t be easier. Thumbscrews remove the need for any tools, the top panel

can be removed or replaced, and cable management is a synch - special cable

clips on the back of the motherboard tray secure in-the-way cables. Heck,

there’s even a removable motherboard tray, letting you install the

motherboard on the tray outside the case - goodbye working in small space!

To not underestimate the PC-K1’s unassuming looks - it’s one heck of a good

chassis.!
