Lian Li is famed for its high quality cases but not yet for its PSUs - is that about to change? Will the company instil the same level of design and build quality into powering a PC like it does housing one? We jacked up the voltage to find out.

shame its so expensive, i agree with the review, very nice, and the perfect addition to a Lian Li Case like mine, but for £50 less the StealthXStream would be hard to ignore.

sounds pretty good, especially the silece part, just a shame with the price.
lets hope it's only an introduction price to skimm the market..

Part of me says meh... How many PSU manufacturers are there out there? Do we really NEED yet another? Does this product fill any open holes in the product category?

But then they bring a couple of nice features to the table...

"At the back there's the usual honeycomb grille as well as a large on-off button, and on the side are two stickers informing of RoHS compliance and Lian Li's fan delay-off function. This keeps the PSU fan running for two minutes after the system is powered off in order to give the hot components an additional cool down that apparently extends their lives."

Copper heatsinks

I guess my only real complaint is the price on it...

I think it's more "branding" then anything else. At least thats what i think of most PSU's that are made by a PSU manufacturer that makes PSU's for anyone who knocks on their door.
