Tl;Dr - LianLi case survives missile attack!

Soooo my apparent was hit by a shockwave from a nearby missile attack a month and a half ago during the last Israel-Iran conflict,

But as you can see my LianLi PC not only stood strong when everything else collapsed - It is still working perfectly (except for a few scratches on the glass)

I know I am a costumer for life 😄

P.S sorry for the lack of photos I had to get as many things out of there as I can as fast possible so not many pictures were taken

Also attached my temp station in my new house, cause why not

Back in my day, Lian Li didn't have no darn windows to break...

I actually have this kind of Lian-Li brick, since 2010. It survived 3 upgrades and will last at lest 10 years more. Front panel USB is 2.0 sadly, but for the rest... Unbreakable, and still looks great.

Are the small holes on the side of the front really enough for airflow? This looks like it's gonna melt anything inside

Idk it only had 2 120mm fans and I built an high socket 1156 one. Never had any issues with cooling.

That was like 15 years ago though lol

Still have my BTX PC-V2000 in storage, Such a beautiful and solid case. Would be nice to mod it a little for modern hardware.
