Lian Li has unveiled an exciting addition to its lineup with the introduction of the Vector V100 Mini. This compact version of the popular Vector V100 mid-tower is designed for those looking to build a powerful PC in a smaller form without sacrificing key features. With a price tag aimed at budget-conscious builders, this new mini tower retains many of the innovative elements that made its larger counterpart a hit earlier this year.
Lian Li Launches Compact Vector V100 Mini
Renowned for their high-quality PC cases, Lian Li’s latest offering, the Vector V100 Mini, keeps the signature slanted PSU shroud that enhances airflow to the GPU, a hallmark of the original V100 introduced in June. The V100 Mini is an M-ATX tower, which means it doesn’t accommodate regular ATX motherboards, but it supports ITX and M-ATX boards, even allowing for M-ATX models with rear connectors. This is a slight departure from the original V100’s compatibility with ATX and E-ATX boards.
Key Specifications and Features
The Vector V100 Mini has been carefully redesigned to maintain most of the larger version’s features. **The case accommodates GPUs up to 415 mm in length, CPU coolers up to 163.55 mm tall, and ATX PSUs up to 200 mm**. While these dimensions are slightly reduced compared to the full-size V100, they are more than adequate for a high-performance build. The dual tempered glass panels offer 270° visibility in a sleek, pillar-less design, keeping the case’s aesthetic seamless and modern.
The overall dimensions of the V100 Mini are 436 x 221.5 x 443.9 mm, making it noticeably smaller than its predecessor. Cooling options remain robust, with support for various fans and AIOs, except at the rear, which can only fit a 120mm fan. Front I/O connectivity includes 2x USB 3.0 ports, 1x USB 3.1 Type C, a 3.5 mm jack, and both power and reset buttons.
Pricing and Availability
The Vector V100 Mini is positioned in the budget category, priced at $49.99, which is $6 less than the larger version. It will be available for purchase starting December 19th. The MSRP details are as follows:
