"Quality" is always the essence of Lian Li's products since 1998 when Lian Li offered the first all aluminum chassis to the market. Since then, Lian Li exemplifies the same quality standards, ensuring durability and craftsmanship come first. All products are manufactured in Taiwan and distributed to worldwide markets.

Lian Li is famous for their aluminum products. Aluminum is good for heat transfer, and after Lian Li’s unique surface treatments to ensure there are no shape edges which may cut user’s hands. The beauty of Lian Li is that everything within the case is recyclable; thereby ensuring every Lian Li case is made from environmentally friendly material.

The PC-B25F carries Lian Li’s high standard of Quality requirement. All the sharp edges have been removed for user’s safety. In addition, the external and internal surfaces have hair-line brush anodized aluminum in keeping with Lian Li’s classical style.

LIAN LI - Excellent Design

Lian Li redesigned the internal layout for a better thermal solution, PC-B25F uses large size cooling fans to remove the system heat faster and quieter as well as keeps the system more stable.

The cutting edge tool-less design is an important key feature in 2009 Lian Li cases. Lian Li designer considered end user requirements, like those who need to build systems faster, or swap out components often. The brand new tool-less modules can make Lian Li users’ life much more convenient.

The look of PC-B25F has no door panel design; users can access the external drive easier. The metallic plus the cold blue light bring out an unique style, give a flamboyant finishing touch to this outstanding high-end chassis.

Lian Li Fine Craftmanship Product

Lian Li manufactured PC-B25F in Taiwan. The quality and craftsmanship are outstanding. With accolades and awards stretching back for the last two decades due to the unique combination of hand-crafted aspects with advanced machinery. The complete effort used to create every Lian Li chassis is clearly evident in the superior craftsmanship to be found in each one.

The hardware installation with PC-B25F is very easy and simple. The front panel and top panel are detachable and they can be removed without tools.

The new PC-B25F is a mid-tower case, which is ideal for the latest graphics cards in combination with the best thermal dynamics.Easily adjustable to optimize your hardware setup. Especially in the advent of adding in new graphics cards, equipped with 8 PCI slots, can hold three or more graphics cards, supports CrossfireX and 3-way SLI.

The new internal layout has the motherboard on top of the power supply unit, which allows for easier access to the motherboard as well as more room above, thus larger CPU coolers can be used. The power supply unit at the button of the case is cooled with fresh cool air directly from the outside of the case, instead of pre-heated air from within. This will bring down the core temperatures and extend the lifespan of the PSU significantly.

Silent Performance

Lian Li uses the best “Made in Taiwan” high quality aluminum panel for all Lian Li chassis. The solid main chassis was folded with 1.5mm thick aluminum sheeting to make a more sturdy structure which has less vibration. The removable front and top panels are joined with specialized plastic kits that prevent the metal parts from touching each other, ultimately reducing noise created by fans and HDD vibration.

The PC-B25F is equipped with large cooling fans, with low RPM, which still provide enough air flow to cool down the hardware adequately. The front two 120mm intakes fan runs at 1200RPM. The top two silent 140mm ball-bearing fans exhaust the hot air out at 1000RPM, and the rear 120mm fan extracts the hot air out at 1500RPM.

The fans on the top panel are mounted with Lian Li’s new anti-vibration fan mounting system; the rubber ring grommet absorbs the vibration, keeping the case silent.

The new 5.25” bay tool-less mounting incorporates a mounting bar equipped with rubber padding. After closing the mounting bar, the rubber pad pushes and holds the 5.25” device in position to both secure and absorb vibration from the device.

Lian Li designers spent months to upgrade Lian Li’s HDD cage; the new HDD cage using special Thumb Screws with rubber suspension. no tool required, simply secure the anti-vibration rubber ring to the HDD, and slide the HDD into the cage. And there is a gate to secure the HDDs.

The aluminum PCI tool-less mounting module is equipped with a rubber pad which can hold the graphics card firmly while closing the gap found in the PCI bracket and PCI slot to reduce noise from escaping air and furthermore reduce vibrations.

The Power Supply has rubber pads for both insulation and support. The mounting clip is also aligned with rubber to reduce vibrations but also and also secure the PSU without scratching the painted surface.

Thermal Solution

The PC-B25F is equipped with large cooling fans, with low RPM, which still provide enough air flow to cool down the hardware adequately. The front two 120mm intakes fan runs at 1200RPM.

The two 140mm fans on the top cover and the 120mm fan at the rear exhaust the hot air out from the system. The fans cover the whole motherboard, and they can remove the heat fast.

The rear 120mm exhaust fan just next to the CPU, it can remove the hot air out fast and silently.

There are vents on the PCI slots, provids extra cooling to graphics card.

The power supply unit is at the bottom of the case. It can draw in cold air directly through the vent below the power supply unit. This cooler, fresh air will keep your PSU components more cool and stable and thus extend the PSU lifecycle.

PC-B25F supports liquid cooling system, the two holes at the rear of the case allows water tubes to pass through, and the rubber cover can protect the tubes away from cutting.

User Friendly Design

2009 has seen an all-new tool-less design from Lian Li aluminum chassis. To do this required a great many innovative patents to be filed worldwide. The ideas will make installing and maintenance much easier. For example when installing the 5.25” optical drive, just slide the drive into the 5.25” bay, and close the mounting bar to secure the optical drive, as simple as that.

To install PCI add-on cards require no tools at all. Simply open the aluminum arm of the tool-less PCI add-on card holder, insert the add-on card to the motherboard slots, and close the aluminum arm to hold the add-on card in position. The additional rubber padding on the aluminum arm assists in gripping the card bracket and securing it firmly.

To install PSU require no tools. Simply open the aluminum PSU holder, insert the PSU in position, also can turn PSU's fans up or down to suit your need, then close the aluminum PSU holder.

The fans on the top panel are mounted with special screws with rubber ring suspension grommets. These allow easy access and removal of the fan for cleaning or service.

There is an air filter at the base of the case to stop dust from entering the case. The filter is washable. The vents are specially designed to retard heat and fire crossover should a short circuit cause sparks and excessive heat within your system. This feature is designed to prevent the problem from spreading outside your case should the unlikely event occur with your components.

There is a patented cable management clamp for cables to pass through, allow uesr convenient manage the cables.

There is a special quadrate opening of motherboard tray, user can easily switch the cpu's radiator without remove motherboard.

Multi-media port connectors follow international specification standards, with one connector for easy installation.
IEEE1394 port, two for USB port, Audio supports HD Audio or AC97 Audio. The dual design is for better compatibility options.

To install motherboard require no tools, use tool-less screw to screw a motherboard on case, easily and quickly.
