Lian Li announced the newest in its line of silent PC cases, the PC-B12. The all-aluminum ATX case is armed with acoustic damping foam on most of its panels, and features a downwards-facing exhaust baffle to dampen noise from the rear fan.
The Lian Li PC-B12 has minimal air vents. Two low-speed 140 mm fans draw air from the outside, through a narrow intake vent. The outward airflow from the 120 mm rear exhaust fan is passed through an exterior baffle. The front and side panels are layered with acoustic damping material. The aluminum feet of the case are suspended on rubberized bottoms, that dampen vibrations.
The PC-B12 from Lian Li is an ATX mid-tower case, measuring 210 x 472 x 498 mm (W x D x H), weighing 6.4 kg. It is made mostly of anodized aluminum. Drive bays include two 5.25-inch exposed, three 3.5-inch discrete, and one 2.5-inch discrete. Drive installation is mostly tool-free, with the fasteners having strong joints and rubberized inner surfaces, to dampen vibrations. The drive cage holding the 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch bays is detachable.
The case has a total of eight expansion card slots, seven of which have tool-free fasteners. The motherboard tray has cutouts for cabling and managing CPU coolers with back-plates. The front utility panel has two USB 3.0 SuperSpeed ports (standard headers), and audio jacks (HDA front-panel headers). The case has enough room for graphics cards that are 36 cm (14.17-inch) long, and PSUs that are 24 cm (9.44-inch) long. There are two big cutouts for liquid-cooler tubing to go in and out of the case. Backed by a 2-year warranty, the PC-B12 from Lian Li is priced at US $169 (S$212).
