Conclusion
All in all we are VERY impressed with this chassis, with its graceful curves and all over loveliness of its shape. We have had this in our offices some time now and when visitors arrive it is usually the first thing they notice. The overall profile reminds us of either a modern-art sculpture or a rather expensive loudspeaker for an audiophiles HI-FI equipment. We do feel that Lian Li ‘missed the ball’ by the rear fan cage, that is increasing the depth by an extra 5mm in order to accommodate a internal 140mm-based radiator.
The overall quality is simply outstanding though and if anyone wishes to have a totally unique machine that will certainly be a great conversation starter; within any social setting in anyone’s home then this it. It ticks most of the right boxes and the previously-mentioned graceful curves marry well with the internal decor of many consumers living or bedrooms.
Last thing is that the whole case can be taken apart by the enclosed screws and powder coated with ease.
Gold medals are like Rocking-Horse dirt at Overclockers Tech, however we feel that the Lian-Li Q30 deserves a 9.1 out of ten and therefore a Gold award.
Pros:
- Graceful Curves
- The whole chassis can be taken apart if one wishes to powder coat this product.

We like to say thank you to Lian-Li and GlobalPr for the review sample:
