I'm sorry. When the fuck did we start measuring computers with liters?
Common in Mini and smaller designs.
It's actually quite common in the SFF space. Cases are considered to be SFF if they're 8-19L, and Ultra SFF is 4-8L.
So when they say it's 4.5L, it's a tiny case.
It's been a stat for a while so you can gauge component space available and air volume. I moved from a 19 litre mini tower Dell case to a much larger 45.5 litre Thermal take case.
With metric you can easily convert it to any other measurement, it’s 4500 cubic cm.
And if it was full of water, that water would weigh in at 4.5kg.
