Ahead of CES next month, Lian Li has introduced the Vector V100 MINI, a compact Micro-ATX case based on the original V100 design. The smaller form factor retains broad cooling support, with room for up to three 120mm side fans, three 120mm or two 140mm top fans, and one 120mm rear fan.
The case supports both standard and back-connect Micro-ATX motherboards. Front and side tempered glass panels provide a 270° view of the interior, while an integrated ARGB strip along the PSU shroud offers lighting control through motherboard software. Despite its reduced size, the V100 MINI accommodates high-end hardware. GPUs up to 415mm can be installed, supported by an adjustable anti-sag bracket. A cable opening in the PSU shroud helps maintain clean routing. Storage options include support for two 2.5″ SSDs or one 3.5″ HDD plus one 2.5″ SSD at the bottom, and an additional 2.5″ SSD behind the motherboard tray.
