The PC-Z70 arrives in a traditionally designed Lian Li box, which is full colour and features details of the product down the side.
The Lian Li Bundle is extensive. They supply a plethora of system installation screws, cable tidies, a PSU locking lever and literature on the installation procedure as well as a pamphlet on the full range of accessories. Lian Li also supply a very cool plastic container case for storing all the screws and mounting bolts. First time I have seen this.
The PC-Z70 is an elegant case, following a traditional, classic Lian Li design. The front of the case is kept clean and flows beautifully from top to bottom. Each side panel has air vents at the front which actually part of the air flow system, but more on this shortly.
The connectivity is positioned elegantly at the top of the case, right at the front, on an angular panel. There are USB 3.0 x 2 / USB 2.0 x 1 / e-SATA x 1 / HD Audio connectors here, next to the reset and power buttons. The embossed Lian Li badge resides centrally, right at the bottom of the front panel.
The front panel is removable by simply tugging on the sides. We will look more at this front panel design when we get to the system installation page later in the review.
The PC-Z70 measures 600mm (H) x 220mm (W) x 592 mm (D), so it presents a substantial monolithic appearance. There are two 140mm exhaust fans positioned at the top of the case, at the back.
At the rear there is a 120mm exhaust fan, positioned below two rubber protected holes, for watercooling kits. Underneath, there are 11 expansion slots, with vents positioned to the right to improve airflow. The PC-Z70 design positions the power supply right at the bottom.
Flipping the PC-Z70 over and looking at the underside there is a dust filtered air vent, positioned right next to the power supply. This filter is removable and washable.
Each door is sealed with three thumbscrews on either side.
