Lian Li PC-Q37 Mini-ITX Chassis Review

A Closer Look – Interior

With the side panel removed, you can see the benefit of the dual-chamber design, as it looks super clean in here. There are six cable routing holes around the motherboard, two on the top, two on the right, two at the bottom, and what’s really interesting is that they have metal covers screwed into place. These covers can be removed, revealing a cut-out hole, but if you’re not using them, they stay perfectly hidden and don’t leave your chassis full of holes; that’s a really nice touch. There’s also two small rubber grommets towards the front, which should prove handy for routing water cooling tubing from a pump hidden in the rear compartment of the chassis.

In the top of the chassis, there is room for two 120mm fans or a 240mm radiator, and there’s certainly a good amount of clearance above the motherboard too, so a good radiator setup shouldn’t conflict with other components.

There’s loads of ventilation in the base, which is obviously going to be beneficial to your

In the back, you’ll find room for two optional 80mm fans. In total, that means you can have two 120mm in the top, two 120mm in the bottom and two 80mm in the back. There’s an extra set of screw holes there too, as you can mount a single 2.5″ drive on the rear fan mounts, of course, you can only do so if you’re not installing a fan here.

With the right side panel removed, you can see the magnetic dust filter for the PSU which I mentioned earlier. It comes off easy enough, meaning you can easily clean it and remount it.

There’s quite a lot of space in the rear compartment, which is going to be a huge benefit for cable management. There’s also more than enough room here to house a good quality water cooling pump should you need one.

On this side, you can see those cable routing holes too, which are currently covered up on the other side to keep things looking neat and tidy. There’s room for a side-mounted SFX PSU here, with a rubber strip to rest it on to prevent scratches and vibrations.

At the top, a removable HDD bay with support for 2 x 3.5″ and 1 x 2.5″ drives.

Under the top panel cover, you’ll find another magnetic dust filter, making that three magnetic dust fitlers in total for the PC-Q37.

There are two 120mm mounts which are easily accessible, perfect for fans or radiators in the top of the chassis.

Another cool thing is that with the front panel and side panel glass removed, you have quite a lot of room to work with. Those using the maximum length of GPU will be able to take the card through the front panel should it not fit through the side.
