When it comes to small cases, Lian Li has made a big hit with the PC-Q28. The chassis provides plenty of room for cable management and plenty of space for hard drives. The hard drive installation is a bit easier than it was the Node 304, and the Lian Li design is just easy to look at. The two fans do a decent job of keeping things cool and operate quietly while doing so. Lian Li has given us a case that can accommodate up to 7 hard drives and still have room for an optical drive or removable drive tray.
When compared to the $89.99 price tag of the Node 304, the $99.99 all aluminum Lian Li PC-Q28 isn’t out of reach. If you are building a small home server or NAS look no further than the PC-Q28. You will not be disappointed. Conversely, if you are looking to home top notch gaming hardware, you may need to look elsewhere. Even though the cooling is adequate for lesser hardware, when it comes to components that cook, you may need more cooling than the PC-Q28 can deliver.
Bottom line, it is hard not to like the PC-Q28. The small size and fantastic looks makes it a case worth looking at.
