Lian Li Launches the PC-O12 WX Mid-Tower Case

Lian Li Launches the PC-O12 WX Mid-Tower Case

Lian-Li launches the PC-O12, a compact mid-tower chassis that combines sleek tempered glass panels with strong, but lightweight, steel and aluminum. This new addition to Lian Li's latest generation O-series chassis range offers style, plus slim design with ample space for a powerful but compact PC build. 

Thanks to its unique design, it offers space for two vertically placed graphics cards in a separate compartment for gorgeous PC builds.

Tempered glass adds a touch of class
The PC-O12's flawless tempered glass front and side panels make it a sleek and sophisticated showcase for the latest cutting edge computing technologies. Tempered glass is tough, safe and very durable, providing a 'fresh from the showroom' appearance indefinitely. The PC-O12's alluring black aluminum outer body and panels complete the picture. Internally, a rigid steel frame provides a firm foundation for state of the art features.

Ideal balance of chassis size and features
Despite it's space-saving format, this mid-tower enclosure offers plenty of room for the most powerful hardware. The 440mm full bandwidth PCI Express 16x riser cable allows flexible vertical graphics card mounting to enhance cooling and to show off the latest graphics technology through the tempered glass side panel. The roomy case interior fits graphics cards up to 340mm long and CPU coolers up to 75mm high.

There's internal space for up to eight hard disk and SSD drives for terabytes of fast storage capacity. In addition, the newest ultra speedy, powerful external USB 3.1 type C devices are supported, and there are a total of four external USB connectors as standard.

A case with great low-noise cooling performance
With up to five large-format fans, this chassis ensures valuable PC components keep running cool, prolonging life, enhancing performance and reducing noise. There's space for three 120mm fans at the top of the case, plus two 140mm or 120mm fans at the front. With so many airflow options, users are able to reduce fan speed and reduce noise.

In addition, removable mesh dust filters cover the primary fan mounts. The drive cages and PSU mount include rubber vibration dampeners to minimize noise.

Key features of the PC-O12 WX

  • Tempered glass, aluminum and steel design
  • Width: 203mm; Height: 508mm; Depth: 550mm
  • Suitable for E-ATX, ATX, MicroATX motherboards
  • ATX PSU compatibility, up to 230mm length
  • 4 expansion slots for graphics cards; up to 340mm graphics card length
  • 1x 440mm PCI-E 16X Riser cable
  • Fits CPU coolers up to 75mm high
  • 3.5" HDD x4 and 2.5" SSD x4; eight total drives
  • USB 3.1 type C x1, USB 3.0 x3, HD Audio
  • Space for up to five 120mm and 140mm fans

Price and Availability
The PC-O12 is now available at Newegg for $399.99

(personal taste) This has got to be the ugliest Lian-Li case I have ever seen - I always liked the older Lian-Li's (I used to have one for quite a few years) when they didn't try to copy the rest of the pack - but to me stood out for their quality cases that weren't trying to sell based on their insane looks, but on quality and more "professional" sleek/solid looks.

Oh well times change I guess :-P

I think it looks cool, but at that price it's not going to sell as a mid tower case.

I looks cool and unusual. But there is no reason to this design. It is not smaller, not lighter, not more efficient at cooling. Can fit fewer cards.

And on top of that it is quite expensive.

Right, basically it's showing off 2 cards at the most. If it's a show PC I understand, but for most people it's something not needed.
