Taiwan is home to Lian Li, the well-known makers of all-aluminum cases, and as expected Lian Li had many
of their products on display at Computex this year.

You can actually buy one of their USB Type-C front panel headers directly if you send them an email. It's $29 shipped to the US. I almost bought one, but I currently get more utility out of Type-A.

Ah, good to know.

Now if only there was more than 1 ITX board to use it on...

Offset obround vents aren't new and the holes on this look too small to double as fan mounts so I'm not sure what they were thinking.

Why have all this vented area and not be able to mount a fan? Yet there's a 2.5" mount?

Would probably make little to no difference with the top fans in place.


But, there's quite a bit of wasted space though, 20L should be enough to fit a proper CPU cooler and now that's just millimeters away.

It could be they're not using screws include silicone grommets which might fit though, but a good point.
