Lian Li Launches ARMORSUIT PC-P50 Gaming Mid Tower Chassis
Feature Packed Stylish Aluminum Chassis
Lian-Li Industrial Co. Ltd has launched the ARMORSUIT SERIES PC-P50 Mid Tower chassis ideal for gaming systems. The hair-line brushed all aluminum chassis features advanced thermal dynamics, using one fan on the front (1x 120mm@1200RPM), plus dual vibration reduced top mounted fans (2x 140mm@1000RPM) and one rear 120mm@1500RPM extraction fan. The 8x PCI expansion slots enable CrossFireX and Tri-SLI graphic card setups. The chassis front face has 9x 5.25”ODD bays which have filters that are washable. The front panel clips off easily and conveniently. The entire chassis is designed for tool-less implementation, so installing your hardware and getting your system up and running is extremely quick and easy. The dimensions stand at 210x490x490mm (W, H, D). The top and front panels are clipped via special plastic kits which reduce metal on metal contact wear as well as prevent vibration.
Complete Tool-Less Design
The first of its kind unique Power Supply Bracket allows the PSU to be secured using only the tool-less clasp which is ideal to hold the PSU securely without the need for securing screws. The 9x ODD 5.25” bays have a patented mounting bar which secures your optical drives safely and securely. The PCI brackets made of solid aluminum have a special tool-less clip to secure your graphics and daughter cards with the utmost of ease. Similarly the HDD drives are secured in a tool-less bracket and mounted with rubber grommet struts to prevent movement and vibration from today’s fast moving and highly specialized HDD components. The front panel and top panel are easily detachable for access to fans and air filters. The ARMORSUIT PC-P50 chassis is imbued with all the functional and user friendly design aspects users have come to expect in a Lian Li case.
Thermal features
Lian Li engineers have optimized the airflow to enter from
the front mounted fans, directly cooling the HDD’s and ODD’s and thereafter
refreshing the CPU region. The hot air generated by the CPU and GPU is directly
extracted via the rear 120mm Fan and the dual top mounted fans. Both top
mounted fans have special vibration free kits, which allow for silent operation
as well as easy and safe removal of the fans should you wish to do so. The
volume of airflow is more than sufficient to keep your gaming rig cool and
conveniently silent.

General features
The chassis supports 9x 5.25” optical drive bays with one
optional 1x 3.5” external and 4 additional internal 3.5” bays for HDD’s in an
anti-vibration movable cage. Each HDD has its own clip in bracket. The
ARMORSUIT PC-P50 case is for Micro-ATX or ATX motherboards and has 8 PCI
expansion slots, which are well ventilated with special vented brackets when
not in use. The top panel is removable with the multimedia I/O ports on the top
panel consisting of 2x USB2.0 as well as HD+AC97 Audio. The PSU has an advanced
flame-retardant vent built into the bottom of the chassis. This uniquely
designed vent prevents the possibility of heat and flames from exiting your
case via the vent should something catastrophic like a short circuit occur to
your PSU or other equipment inside.
