Lian Li B4-mATX Vertical AeroDeck: Strengths & Caveats
✔ Advantages
- Expands cooling capacity with support for up to three 120 mm or two 140 mm intake fans
- Delivers direct, high-volume airflow toward the graphics card in vertical orientation
- Premium construction pairing rigid 4.0 mm steel with tempered glass and wood accents
- Includes a magnetic PVC dust filter for intake protection against ambient dust
✖ Documented Caveats
- Requires relocating the chassis front I/O panel during installation
- Strictly restricted to vertical setups on the Lian Li B4-mATX chassis
Corsair WARTHOG: Strengths & Caveats
✔ Advantages
- Rugged steel chassis with integrated structural carry handles inspired by the legendary C70
- InfiniRail mounting system supports dual 200mm front intake fans and up to three 360mm radiators simultaneously
- Native support for next-generation reverse-connector motherboards and built-in anti-sag GPU bracket
- High-speed front panel connectivity including 20Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C and dedicated rear I/O illumination
✖ Documented Caveats
