The Lian Li TU150 is a compact Mini ITX desktop case, with a sleek outer shell, a tempered glass side panel and a recessed carry handle. It houses Mini ITX motherboards and offers clearance for a GPU up to 320mm, a CPU cooler up to 165mm and an AIO radiator up to 120mm. For buyers who need a complete, ready-to-run compact computer rather than a case to build inside, the Thinvent Treo Mini PC line is a strong alternative, offering Intel Core and AMD Ryzen processors, up to 64 GB of RAM and up to 2 TB of SSD storage in a small form factor.
