Lancool's (a brand owned by well respected manufacturer Lian-Li)LanCool Metal Boned PC-K1 Chassis Review
latest offering is aimed at the mainstream gamer and enthusiast in the mid- to high-end market segment. The PC-K1 (around =A385) is a relatively
subdues midi-tower chassis that cuts straight to the chase. Exquisitely cut from aluminum and steel, the chassis is a good choice for the discerning
needs of enthusiast level gamers not interested in garish accessories. A really
neat feature is a little flip-open dust-free lid on the top cover which
reveals multimedia I/O ports for easy access. Under the lid is an I/O bracket
which accommodates two USB 2.0 ports, a single IEEE1394 port, and HD+AC97 Audio in/out capabilities. The chassis supports full ATX and micro-ATX form factor motherboards and has a secure power supply bay designed to keep it rigid during transportation. When it actually comes to building your machine it couldn't be easier. Thumbscrews remove the need for any tools, the top panel can be removed or replaced, and cable management is a synch - special cable clips on the back of the motherboard tray secure in-the-way cables. Heck, there's even a removable motherboard tray, letting you install the motherboard on the tray outside the case - goodbye working in small space! To not underestimate the PC-K1's unassuming looks - it's one heck of a good chassis.!
