 So Leanly's response to me when they got my request for a sample of this case was, Wow! That's the fastest I've ever gotten a response after sending out a product announcement PR email. I was on it like that. And why was I so excited? Well, because I thought the PC-Q19 looked like the closest thing that we've ever gotten to a console killer case that has, you know, a very similar form factor to a next-gen console, all actually about the same width and depth as an Xbox One, although it is quite a bit taller, and these great, modern, living room-friendly looks with this gorgeous brushed aluminum finish. Speaking of gorgeous aluminum finishes, by the way, we have a video coming on the MSI GS70 Stealth 17-inch gaming laptop, beautiful aluminum finish. Anyway, make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss that. But back to this guy. Did it meet my expectations? Well, I guess you'll have to find out after you watch the intro.

So the PC-Q19 is the first case in a while that I haven't actually been able to figure out how to open just by looking at it. I mean, it's beautiful. It's completely clean-looking without a single screw accessible from the front, top, bottom, and right and left sides. It includes this fantastic aluminum stand that complements it perfectly and is of such high quality that I would feel legitimately bad about using the included rubber feet to lay it flat and then hide it in my TV console. This case demands to be shown off. Upon consulting the manual, which comes in lots of languages but isn't particularly clearly written and even contains some errors like instructing you to unscrew the PCI Express riser that actually ends up coming in a baggie, not screwed in, I discovered that you just pop the side panels off. They use a similar mechanism to the BitFenix Pandora, and I was ready with my red marker to take off points for this because with the Pandora, we actually had problems keeping the side panel on. Until I tried to take these ones off and realized we are dealing with a whole different grade of push pins here. So full marks for these side panels, Li and Li. I mean, let me tell you, those sockets, you wouldn't want to put your penis in there. You'd never get it back. Inside the case, it's classic Li and Li. Everything is made of the usual wonderfully finished aluminum that keeps the case lightweight and classy looking, keeps your fingers and cables safe from cuts, and enables some incredibly creative designs without the sales volume requirements that cases with plastic chassis components require. Motherboard and power supply mounting was pretty simple at first. Remove both panels and all the removable bits. The power supply takes in air directly from the side and exhausts it out the back. I used a 600 watt Silverstone SFX modular power supply, and the motherboard sits on a nice rigid, you know, support structured thing that gives really easy access to the back of the board for easy cooler installation. And then I hit a potential snag and a real one. First, I noticed that the ATX connector doesn't fit through the hole into the bottom compartment if it's a full 24 pin design without the four detachable pins. But mine has four breakaway pins, so that was okay. And then I realized that not one combination of the mini ATX boards and SFX power supplies that I own would allow the 24 pin connector to reach the plug. So I had to use a 24 pin extension. Fortunately, I had one lying around and there's a fair bit of room in the front of the case to store the now extra length that I had to deal with. I actually had the opposite problem as well with the front USB 3 header. So the cable wasn't long enough to route around my CPU cooler and it had to sit over top. But that was a minor issue and everything else here was fine. Drive mounting is solid with anti-vibrational mounts in the three two and a half inch locations and one three and a half inch location and cable management was mostly easy with the only potential snafu being the spacing of the two stacked two and a half inch drives. You may need an adapter if your power supply has left or right angle SATA connectors. Also of note while you guys are watching the B-roll is that one of the drives is in the correct location but not actually screwed in. Don't don't mind that. It does screw in there if you're not lazy. I just threw that in after I was done building. Now I was very pleased to see these sick magnetic fan filters over the motherboard and power supply areas. Plower supply. Filtered intakes are a very very good thing. But I was pretty disappointed to see how poorly planned the case's airflow strategy was in general. The 120 millimeter fan behind the top filter needed to be turned around to keep the case's internal pressure positive so that you're forcing dust out of the little gaps in the case rather than into them drawing in dust. Check out this video to learn more about this concept. And the graphics card mounting while it's super sweet with this PCIe riser card and compatibility with up to 24 centimeter graphics cards. Plenty of room for gigabytes new ITX GTX 970 by the way. It's just kind of like the cable cutout only being suitable for low end 20 pin ATX connectors. I mean it's in there rather than feeling like it's an important part of the case design and that like leanly actually expects anyone to put a high end card in the case. Any dual slot cooler design is obviously going to starve for fresh air with a blower style putting the fan right up against a non perforated side panel and an open design simply scattering hot air around at the CPU in the nearby hard drive. Which leads into both my conclusion about this case and I guess a bit of a rant. It's a beautiful case. I can never fault Leanly's craftsmanship. But unfortunately it's more geared towards light and middle weight media PC use and it's not what I wanted as someone who wants to see a proper console killer case. Truthfully even though I like the case that's making it really hard for me to give it a positive conclusion here because it just feels like such a missed opportunity given that even the lowly 7850 that I have in there runs at 81 degrees on the CPU at 87% fan speed. And we're talking about 110 TDP card here. 110 watt excuse me. And the thing that makes me most upset about all of this is that the case that I wanted this to be should already exist or be due for release very soon. Ten months ago I met with Nathan from Cooler Master and I'm calling you out buddy and gave him my idea for how we could take actually a very similar design to this one obviously before this came out. So it was innovative at the time but with the motherboard on top no three and a half inch drive mounting points. You'll rely on SSDs or two and a half inch hard drives. The graphics card on a flexible PCIe extension on the bottom. So the intake would be on the same side as the CPU intake and an external brick style power supply setup. Maybe with dual bricks or something like that. I've seen this done before now as well. Asus with their latest ROG thing G20 or something like that. And then so the idea was that we'd be able to get a full custom adequately cooled ITX gaming PC into a form factor about the size of the PS4. But they've been sitting on their asses for almost a year now with this idea. So I'm putting the idea out in public now. Guys let me and Cooler Master know in the comments if you want to see something like that because if it turned out well that is the kind of thing that I would love to do like a sick Linus edition case of or something like that. Anyway good case not what I expected.
