Lian Li TYR PC-X500 Chassis
Packaging
The X500 comes in a sturdy box with the front and back emblazoned with photos of the X500 in all its glory. There are little insets with photos of all the chassis’ features with a little text explaining them. On the sides of the box, you get a glimpse of the innards of the chassis with some more text.
All the information printed on the box is clear and concise and the packaging is strong enough to ensure the case doesn’t get damaged in transit. So far so good then, so let’s take a look at the contents within the box.
Contents
The chassis is well packed within the box, and placed in a plastic bag. Lian Li have used two foam inserts within the box, to keep the chassis from moving around. All the usual screws and accessories are located in a cardboard box, which is tie wrapped into the chassis to ensure it doesn’t get bounced about. Within this box you will find:
A buzzer with motherboard header
12x Motherboard stand-offs, 30x screws and a screw driver
2x Clamps& 3x Cable ties for cable management
18x Thumb screws and rubber washers for HDD’s , 6x PSU & 8x CD fixing screws
8x Spare thumb screws
2x SATA cables
A plastic box for keeping spare screws etc.
There was also an installation pamphlet with easy to follow instructions, and decent enough diagrams. All in all, there were no nasty surprises with the packaging and it was more than adequate for the job in hand. There are plenty of screws etc. with which to use in your build and the provision of anodised black thumbscrews ensures that the style of the chassis is carried throughout.
Next, we move onto the chassis itself. Let’s now take a look at the externals of the chassis.
