Hello,



We've just posted our latest review and would love it if you linked to it.
Thanks greatly!

"Lian Li's PC-V351 looks reasonable and retains the company's quality
workmanship. The cube-shaped enclosure boasts a practical design that takes
a Micro-ATX motherboard, yet still retains full ATX PSU compatibility. It
also supports full-size graphics cards, which is great news for hardcore
games. Using the chassis is relatively painless, as long as you've got a
screwdriver at hand, and the slide-able motherboard tray and well conceived
cable management system are neat touches that bring a smile to your face. My
biggest gripe is that I don't think Lian Li has grasped what the HTPC
business is about. The shape is awkward for a computer that's supposed to
reside in your living room, and I don't think anyone would want to put this
big black box next to their flashy HDTV and AV surround sound system anyway.
Sure it comes in a choice of black, silver or red, but it's just not sexy
enough. If you really want a HTPC chassis that'll look amazing in your
living room, check out Silverstone's stunning CW02. It even comes with
volume knobs, display and a remote control. The downside is that it comes
with a price tag that is 2.5 times more than the PC-V351. If you're not
looking to build a HTPC and just want a small form factor PC that has a good
amount of room for a number of PCI cards, a few terabytes of HDD space and a
TV tuner or two, naturally, the PC-V351 is good value. As an HTPC, it is
severely lacking."
