First off, this is a budget level chassis, so we are not expecting too much to compete with the high specification Lian-Li offerings and in reality nobody should. The packaging is standard and it comes with our least favourite polystyrene. The usual instructions and accessories are included, enough to get you started.
The side panels are slightly flared out which will help with vibration and stiffens the panel. It also helps to break up the look of the chassis.
Front and back, the Lian-Li PC-K5WX Ebonsteel Mid Tower chassis is simple and to the point. The rear has vented PCI blanks which stamped in, so they are only removable once. There are some dust filters included, though only the PSU dust cover is the removable type. Both side panels have thumbscrews to hold them in place.

This chassis is suited to first time builds, or even if you are a parent building a first time system for your children. It’s also a good LAN party chassis, and carries the Lian-Li name, that’ll carry some weight on its own. If you want to have decent chassis for your first build or the other situations we have mentioned, the Lian-Li PC-K5WX is definitely worth a consideration.
