Lian-Li’s new V3000 Plus chassis has enough room to house two systems

Lian-Li is well known for its dual-chamber cases. This month, the company is launching its new V3000 Plus chassis, capable of housing two systems, offering multiple layout configurations and enhanced airflow. 

Capable of holding EEB motherboards, up to three 480mm radiators, two systems, 16x storage drives, and 16x 120mm fans, the V3000 Plus is capable of holding virtually any PC component. That's not surprising, considering it measures 678.5x279x674mm (DxWxH).

Featuring a design similar to the original V3000, the Plus version comes with more vented panels for increased airflow. The front panel was also redesigned to include a longer ARGB LED strip at the centre. The inside was modified to fit more storage drives too.

Another interesting thing about this case is the three different modes. The first is the standard mode, which allows you to mount a single system inside. The second mode lets you rotate the motherboard tray 90º left to promote GPU cooling. Rotating the tray moves the rear I/O towards the PSU shroud, but thanks to the pass-through channel on the case, the ports are still accessible from the rear.

The third mode is the one that allows you to mount two systems inside the case, elevating the motherboard tray so that you can build a mini-ITX system on top of the PSU shroud. Despite supporting two complete systems, the chassis still has room for up to 11 120mm fans, 2 480mm radiators (top and front), and up to a 280mm radiator (above the PSU shroud) in this mode. You can also mount two PSUs in this configuration, but you're limited to an ATX and an SFX/SFX-L model. Vertical GPU mounting is also supported.

To further improve the case, you can add multiple accessories, including up to four hot-swap drive modules (up to two drives each) and a 200mm PCIe 4.0 riser cable for mounting the GPU vertically. Additionally, you can get a 240mm PCIe 4.0 riser cable to use in dual-system mode that allows you to mount the GPU on the PSU shroud compartment.

The Lian Li V3000 PLUS is now available in black, but you can also get it in white starting in January. Both models come with an MSRP of $499.99.
