It would seem that not a week goes by without Taiwan-based PC chassis manufacturer Lian-Li coming up with some new model targeting either our living-room or office. This week, it launched the PC-B10 Mid Tower chassis, a product designed mostly for those users who are looking for a PC case that's both cool, as far as the temperature on the inside is concerned, and visually attractive.
Without a doubt, the looks of the PC-B10 will be the first thing anyone will notice, and that's because Lian-Li's new case has a very sleek, brushed aluminum look, which will certainly draw some attention.
The PC-B10 case is designed to house Micro-ATX or ATX motherboards and has 7 PCI slots, which are well ventilated with special vented brackets. And speaking of ventilation, it's very important to mention the fact that this PC case sports two fans on the front (1x 140mm at 900RPM + 1x 120mm at 1500RPM) and one rear 120mm at 1000RPM extraction fan, all of which feature removable dust filters.

Furthermore, the chassis supports 5x 5.25-inch optical drive bays with one optional 1x 3.5-inch external and four additional internal 3.5-inch bays for HDD’s in an anti-vibration cage. The HDD cage is accessible from the left side panel, and each HDD is mounted with anti-vibration grommets to reduce noise from HDD vibrations. Also, the top panel is removable with the multimedia I/O ports on the top panel consisting of 2x USB2.0, 1x IEEE1394, as well as HD+AC97 Audio.
Now, for two issues you've most likely been waiting for, namely pricing and availability. Hence, as Lian-Li informs us, the new PC-B10 mid-tower PC chassis will be arriving in stores at some point towards the end of April, while the MSRP will be of around 250 US dollars, which is not exactly a small sum, but it's probably worth it, given the level of quality a Lian-Li case will provide (after all, we've been able to see first hand some of the company's cases at this year's CeBIT show and were quite impressed by the quality of the craftsmanship and finishing).
