Lian Li has launched the Vector V100 MINI, a new compact Micro-ATX case. This design is a smaller version of the original V100, offering extensive cooling capabilities. It supports up to three 120mm fans on the side, three 120mm or two 140mm fans on the top, and a single 120mm fan at the rear.
Compatibility extends to both standard and back-connect Micro-ATX motherboards. The case features front and side tempered glass panels, providing a wide 270-degree view of the internal components. An integrated ARGB strip on the PSU shroud allows for customizable lighting, controlled via motherboard software. Despite its compact dimensions, the V100 MINI can house powerful hardware, including GPUs up to 415mm in length, supported by an adjustable anti-sag bracket. Cable management is aided by a dedicated opening in the PSU shroud. For storage, the case offers space for two 2.5-inch SSDs, or one 3.5-inch HDD and one 2.5-inch SSD at the bottom, plus an additional 2.5-inch SSD behind the motherboard tray.
Key specifications for both models are detailed below:
Both the Vector V100 MINI and V100R MINI share identical dimensions of 436mm (D) x 221.5mm (W) x 443.9mm (H) and are constructed from steel, plastic, and 4.0mm tempered glass. They support Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards, including back-connect Micro-ATX, and feature five expansion slots. Maximum GPU length is 415mm, and CPU coolers up to 163.5mm tall are accommodated.
