Lian Li knows style. Lian Li knows aluminum. Put those two things together, and the PC-B25S makes for a fairly sharp-looking PC.

The company's installation kit is somewhat larger than most, including an exhaust fan duct and power supply hold-down, in addition to screws, cable adapters, cable ties, and drive grommets.

Drive grommets fit onto shoulder screws, which are then screwed to the sides of a 3.5” drive. The drive then slides into one of the case’s six internal bays. A sliding bar on the side of the removable drive cage prevents the drive from sliding back out.

Note that we also found a place for our SSD, even though 2.5” bays aren’t listed as a PC-B25S feature. We believe Lian Li removed that bullet point from the spec sheet because the keyholes face the wrong direction, causing the drive to pop out when cables are plugged in.
We found shoulders screws for our SSD in Antec’s mounting kit, and took added precaution when connecting cables to the drive.

Lian Li uses a flip-out bracket with locator pins to quickly connect a 5.25” drive.

With the exception of the USB 3.0 pass-through bracket and power supply hold-down bracket, installation followed our How To Build A PC article. The power supply bracket engages a slot in the motherboard plate behind the power supply and locks down like a boot buckle, while the USB 3.0 pass-through bracket requires no explanation (it’s a slot cover with a hole).

Another big plus with the Fortress 2 is the inclusion of sound dampening foam on every panel, but to be entirely honest with you, due to the open nature of the case, I'm really not sure how much sound it's actually dampening.
Hell, yes! About time, pushing those extreme overclocks!
Marty, I'm sorry. But the only power source capable of generating 34.5 gigahertz of electricity is a bolt of lightning... (begin back to the future theme song!)
I bet they were overclocking from Pluto.
Didn't you watch the news? Astronomers sent a dwarf in a rocket to remove Pluto so it doesn't exist anymore.
This conclusion makes no sense. Why do "computing professional gamers" need storage.
And further the case holds 5 HDDs. That's 1 SSD + 4x2TB of storage.
Fractal or Raven? This is harder one.
You mean 5x2TB. It holds 5 HDDs and a SSD.
Also, the FT02, although more expensive, should have been used due to the extra sound dampening material.
Do a case with good electromagnetic and noise insulation. With good cooling.
What materials are better? Is electromagnetic insulation that important? (so, is necessary a conductive -metallic- case?)
how do you solve the precise location of backward holes (for motherboard, and boards).
how do you make the holes for different form factors (hint: there are standards)
etc. there is a lot to talk. You can make a cheap case much better than the trademark garbage sold.
