Lian-Li Intros PC-C33 And PC-C34F HTPC Cases

Ah, the quickly diminishing DIY HTPC market. Whatever happened to the legions of PC users who were chomping at the bit to craft their very own home theater PC? We're guessing the smattering of low-cost movie set-top boxes coupled with all those other streaming options kind of put a damper on things, but that's not stopping Lian-Li from pushing out a new pair of HTPC enclosures for those still willing to get their hands dirty for the sake of OTA tuning.


The PC-C33 and PC-C34F enclosures look awfully similar at first glance, though the latter is a tad larger at 432mm x 168mm x427mm compared to 425 x 168 x 460mm of the former. Both units boast the company's tried and true brushed black anodized aluminum  appearance, with the PC-C34F having a front mounted lockable HDD cage with a hot swap HDD capability with support for up to four 3.5" HDDs. Each case fully supports both micro-ATX and ATX form factors, and outside of the front-mounted ports, you'll also find four USB 2.0, one FireWire 400, one eSATA and standard audio in / out around back. Sadly, Lian-Li didn't bother passing along a price, but you can have a glance at the highlights below.
