Perfect for apatments and tiny rooms where space is lmited. Now as long as the price is @ or below 300 they should sell a few.

And our survey says......X. Freaking UGLY! Reminds me of the old school desk we used to have at primary school

Leg room? I have maybe 3 inches of space between my desk and me, and the desk is maybe only 1 inch thick, meaning 4 inches(ish) from my legs, to the keyboard and mouse. This, to me, is perfect amount of space , any higher and my arms go too far up it'd feel like i'm on a kiddie chair. This desk/case does not seem feasible at all, again that's just me, and i like the idea, but i'd rather not have to reach up and tilt my head up just to use my PC which should be level with me
BLEH!
That'd be cool for modding.

Nice desk but pricing and leg room will be the deciding factor.

Fugly. What room does this actually save? Enough room for your keyboard and mouse as well as a brew, some paperwork or whatever you're doing? Legroom looks crap too.

it's lian-li, so expect to overpay. they had some following half a decade ago but are out of their minds nowadays.

I don't think it's very attractive. It looks way too small. The point of a desk build (to me) is that it should be relatively large, and they are generally meant to hold water cooling/ultra high end parts.

They should make one that's only an inch thick with all those features, i can't use a desk that is any thicker.

It's a fantastic concept, but I think they've dropped the ball with that design. I'd love to see a larger desk-case that's more pleasing to the eye.

God damn that looks awful.
It's got legs that looks on par with some cheap garden furniture set.

Looks like Lian-Li was inspired by the L3pd3sk....

Looks like an Ikea hack job.

The concept is interesting, but it falls down in three major ways.
1) The table legs are too dam short. If I had to sit at this table/case I would be uncomfortable as hell. While it is fine to make the table legs box-type for strength and stability, if they want anyone my height to actualy sit at this... thing.... then the legs have to be taller. A lot taller. Perhaps they can offer it in the customer's choice of leg sizes(?)
2) I don't want my PC built into my desk. And there's a reason for that: Hard drives. HDDs don't like to be jostled; They have an annoying tendency to fail when you do that to them. Even if they're in vibration-dampening mounts, subjecting a HDD to unnecessary vibration and shock is not a good idea. Well guess what? I've got a keyboard, and I pound my fingers on it all day long. If my keyboard is on my desk and my desk has HDDs in it then I'm applying unnesisary shock and vibration to my HDDs. Now why would I want to do that when I don't have to?
3) Fugly.This thing looks like it was inspired by the most ridiculously impractical furniture of the 20th century. The color sceme is all wrong. The top-heavy design shouts out "Tip me over and watch me fail!" The thinness of the legs versus the thickness of the table is just stupidly unbalanced. The transparent tabletop is tacky.
In short, this is one of those things you buy while in a manic impulse buying frenzy of e-penis insanity and then immediately regret. Do yourself a favour and skip this one.

I like it generally but as said above I can't believe they went with those legs and the 4 little black plastic feet. Even a little change, like if the legs were black or matt black or brushed alu like everything else, would improve it
but who cares, as HH said "nice little marketing product"

I think this could be really cool for a music workstation not necessarily for a gaming rig, i'd love to have one of these on stage with me, would make a nice change from the usual laptop setup, I imagine it must get quite heavy tho, if they could make it portable somehow i'd definitely look into it.

The leg support design does not look like they would be very sturdy to me. I like the power strip and easy of mounting AIO cooling, but I cannot tell from the photos how adequate is the case ventilation.
