    If anyone had asked me a year ago on whether or not HTPC systems would flourish inside 2010 i would had probably laughed and said no mainly because of the countless media players in the market that can offer playback of most known media file types at a fraction of the price needed to build an descent HTPC. Now almost a full year later i see that i could be totally off in my prediction, for the most part that is since HTPC functionality aside manufacturing companies have also been focusing on producing small NAS cases. The PC-Q11B by Lian Li is such a case and we have it here with us today to take it for a spin.

    The PC-Q11 is the latest addition to the Q line of ITX cases designed and manufactured by Lian Li. What really makes these cases stand out from the crowd is the ability to add a normal ATX standard power supply unit, a dual PCI slot graphics card and an 5.25' optical drive. Now at first glance the Q11 shares many similarities with the older Q07 but features a different internal design with room for up to four hard disk drives, front 140mm fan and USB3.0 support.
