I see 5 slots
V300, V350, V354...
Taller and taller... Seems like they are going the wrong way.
Why not just add an extra slot and make it a full blown ATX case?

That's how the SilverStone SG03 designed (w/ PSU below / behind the optical).
Its possible, that V354 is for ATX booard. That is the simplest explenation of five back slots, dont you think?
Hopefully the PSU is now out of the way of the CPU cooler. That's the biggest drawback of the 35x cases.
Unfortunately, I see they are sticking with the six tiny screws to hold the side panels on. Too bad.
Lian-Li cases always use steel reinforcements for screw threads.

I think he was talking about the screw heads stripping. This PC-Q08A is the first LianLi case I've used and I hate the way the side panel is held in. They should have done it like everyone else and used latches on the top, bottom and front edges and thumb screws on a lip on the back edge. All of the Shuttle, SilverStone, and Antec cases I've had secured the side panels this way.
Where can we get replacement screws for the side panel? A couple of mine already look pretty nasty from removing the side panel a couple of times.
the SG03's frame is made to be rigid. The new Lian Li SFF cases (q07 & q08) are anything but without the side panels on. if you put the PSU in the q07 with no sides on & let it sit for 10 minutes I am fairly sure you would warp the whole case. thankfully there is no reason for the PSU to be in if the sides are off since one of those sides is the mobo tray & You have to remove the PSU to get to anything., but still VERY VERY light weight.Well, the last case I had that had side panels that screwed onto a lip that rested on the back of the case was the SilverStone SG03 and that was a solid case. I had the old aluminum version of the SG03. The new steel version is probably even more rigid.

Thats the way Lian Li did it on my old PC-30. There are no bays or inputs on the sides of this case so they should be able to do it that way again.
These LianLi SFF cases are the first SFF cases I've used that have panels that screw into the sides. The Shuttle, Antec, and SilverStone SFF cases I've used all screwed into the back and the Shuttle cases are even smaller than these LianLi cases.
Any guesses on how many 3.5" drives this case is going take if a video card is installed? On the Q08, it seems that you have to sacrifice the bottom 2 drive slots in order to fit a video card (am I correct here?). So it seems that the claimed 7 drive capacity of the V354 will be reduced if a video card is desired. I'm hoping that not too many drive slots need to be sacrificed.
