Another awesome feature of the PC-P80R is top fan duct which looks like a hood scoop or blower sticking out of the engine compartment of a hot rod. The blow hole mod with 140mm LED cooling fan is mounted directly below this air duct.

In the front of the top air duct are the front media ports which are covered by a well designed flip up cover. The ports include four USB connectors, a single IEEE 1394 connector, headphones & speaker jacks, and one eSATA port.

The top air duct has louvers built into three sides for air flow with style.

One of the big wow factors that make this case a poster child for quality and workmanship is the care and attention to detail Lian Li has put into this baby. Every single piece of aluminum is treated with the red brushed anodized finish. It's really amazing how they went through all the trouble to treat each and every piece right down to the internal bracket that holds the fan speed switch in place. Everything is coated inside and out. Totally amazing... The quality of the finish in the PC-P80R is so far ahead of any case I've ever seen. It even puts those custom air brushed cases to shame that look pretty on the outside, but really don't have the same quality on the inside.

Another feature we see more and more of these days in high end computer cases are preinstalled ports and rubber grommets for water cooling. Some of the best water cooling I've seen are external units and the PC-P80R is ready with 2 ports directly under the power supply and 2 more ports near the bottom.
