Product information: Lian Li PC-X2000FN Full Tower Aluminium Case - Black
The PC-X2000FN's size - 693mm tall and 240mm wide - make it look ungainly, but Lian Li appears to be putting the unorthodox dimensions to good use. Split into three compartments, the top section is set aside exclusively for storage; where users can install two side-loading 5.25in optical drives, as well as up to four hot-swappable 3.5in hard drives and three 2.5in SSDs.Maximising the available space, the middle section is large enough for an EATX, ATX or Micro ATX motherboard, and with no hard drives in this area, there's room for CPU coolers measuring up to 180mm tall and graphics cards measuring up to 340mm in length. The ten expansion slots could also come in handy if you're planning a triple- or quad-GPU configuration.
Rounding off the compartments, the third section located at the bottom of the case can house a power supply measuring up to 230mm in length and a further three hot-swappable 3.5in hard drives.
Cable-routing holes are plentiful, as are pre-installed fans, with Lian Li opting to include three 140mm front intakes, a 120mm exhaust in the middle compartment and a 140mm exhaust in the top compartment. There's a well-stocked top I/O panel, too, that includes four USB 3.0 ports, headset and microphone jacks, and eSATA.

Customer review "Lian Li PC-X2000FN Full Tower Aluminium Case - Black"
Engineering masterpiece
I've been using Lian-Li towers since the turn of the millennium, always a fan of the aluminium chassis with the brushed/anodized finishes. And as always with the higher-end Lian-Li products, the build quality is nothing short of stunning. Little touches like the massive easy remove front air filter really do add to the overall quality and help to showcase the high-end design.
The tower is MASSIVE, plenty of work room and huge hard drive space, more than you could ever use. Their mounting system is rather unique, with pcb's running along the back of the drive racks that the drives themselves connect into.
Cable management was a breeze all in all too.
Down to the nitty gritty (and why it's not a 5/5!)
Pros and Cons:
++Interior Space
++4x USB 3.0 front ports
++General interior design
++Build Quality
++Side facing 5.25" bays that are reversible to face either direction.
++Brackets to support the weight of heavier/multiple heavy graphics cards.
++Fantastic extras kit (screws, x-long sata cables etc)
++Intricately designed expansion slot clamping system
++Inbuilt Fan Speed Control
--No Side Panel Fan (Minor niggle really, 3x front 140mm and 1x 140mm / 1x 120mm rear with a large open interior free of cables makes for more than sufficient airflow).
--No space (without modding) for a dual-fan width sized watercooler
--Expensive! (but imo - the quality shines through against the price)
--No Wheels (it's a huge monster after all, and with a full build, gets rather heavy), but with its already towering height, perhaps wheels would make it excessive.
