New brackets from Lian Li introduced

Lian-Li is launching the EX-P3A (silver) and EX-P3B (Black) HDD bracket cooling kit. The bracket is made of aluminum and sits flush against the bottom plate of the hard drive, protecting the HDD from physical damage, as well as drawing unwanted heat out of the HDD. In addition the connector face protects the HDD SATA connectors from wear and tear while extending the SATA connectors. The HDD Bracket takes up the equivalent of 1x 5.25 bay internally and, according to Lian Li themselves, will be an excellent addition to systems that run hot and need the extra protection that Lian Li provides in this compact unit.

At the same time Lian Li is also introducing the new Card reader for the front Bezel. It fits directly into a 3.5” bay on the front face of the chassis. The card reader supports USB2.0 and requires no extra power other than that provided over the USB cable, a small LED signals when a card is in use.
