Lian Li TYR PC-X500 Chassis
Packaging & Contents
Published: 14th October 2008 | Source: Lian Li | Price: £250 |
Packaging
The X500 comes in a sturdy box with the front and back emblazoned with photos of the X500 in all its glory. There are little insets with photos of all the chassis' features with a little text explaining them. On the sides of the box, you get a glimpse of the innards of the chassis with some more text.
All the information printed on the box is clear and concise and the packaging is strong enough to ensure the case doesn't get damaged in transit. So far so good then, so let's take a look at the contents within the box.
Contents
The chassis is well packed within the box, and placed in a plastic bag. Lian Li have used two foam inserts within the box, to keep the chassis from moving around. All the usual screws and accessories are located in a cardboard box, which is tie wrapped into the chassis to ensure it doesn't get bounced about. Within this box you will find:
A buzzer with motherboard header
12x Motherboard stand-offs, 30x screws and a screw driver
2x Clamps& 3x Cable ties for cable management
18x Thumb screws and rubber washers for HDD's , 6x PSU & 8x CD fixing screws
8x Spare thumb screws
2x SATA cables
A plastic box for keeping spare screws etc.
There was also an installation pamphlet with easy to follow instructions, and decent enough diagrams. All in all, there were no nasty surprises with the packaging and it was more than adequate for the job in hand. There are plenty of screws etc. with which to use in your build and the provision of anodised black thumbscrews ensures that the style of the chassis is carried throughout.
Next, we move onto the chassis itself. Let's now take a look at the externals of the chassis.

That case looks simply gorgeous. Call me old fashioned though, but I'd rather have the DVD drives coming out the front.
Great review fella

Thanks mate, it does take some getting used to having to go round the side for the DVD's, keep going for the front without thinking
The Tyr cases, eventhough "fitted" for watercooling, is better suited for regular cooling (fans) than water. If you do want water theres allmost no room inside for pumps, radiators, reservoirs. Though, you don't have to cut holes for hoses if you've got an external kit anyway .
But I never buy anything but LianLi anymore.... All aluminium cases are easier to cut/modify and extremely lightweight.
Very good and balanced review btw.

I am sorely tempted to try and get a 240mm rad in on a CPU only loop
I recks it would go in the somewhere.Probably in the front.. What I was contemplating though were 4x120mm radiators, though I weren't entirely sure where to place the pump and reservoir.. With some serious graphics solutions like sli, trisli or quadsli, there's simply no room unless you ditch all harddrive cages and cdr's.. which you can if you use SSD disks and external CD-rom... but if it's worth it.... Then I rather go with some generic box like PC70A.. which is like the coolermaster stacker, just an empty box with loads of 5.25" drivebays and nothing fancy.

if i had that case i would cut away that 3.5" drive bay and replace it with a 5.25" that 3.5" just ruins the look of the side 
After reading your comments on liamli x500 case , I do agree , this is a great piece of engineering -----------BUT could someone please advise me , I only have one light showing on front (on/off) I have tried every thing , even getting a new Q connector , could the bulb have gone ? if so where can I get replacement.
Wrote to LamLi but no reply (have had this case about 3months)
Would also like to know how to connect three way fan controller switch ?
many thanks
