I'm sure i'm not the only one drooling out until price tag burst my bubble. :leave:

This thing looks amazing.
I love my Corsair 750D But that Lian-Li is stunning.
Expensive yes but I would love to own it!

Nice case but..you can't use only one PCIe slot!? What about dual slot SLI/CF/other PCIe devices??

They smoke to much weed?
PSU placed on front of PC case 🙂

It definately looks amazing, but also has some drawbacks.
PSU on the front does make me wonder if you can hear the fan, or, buzzing as you change power drain, as well as you can read the naming through that front part...
Also you have to use the bottom most PCIe slot for the riser? What if that's only an x4? A sollution more for looks than for power I guess, and I'd wish they'd at least make the riser a sturdy one, this one reminds me of old IDE cables, not really the eyecatcher imho.
Also it would be a better deal if they' figure out how to include two GPUs in this rig, but that's just my preferance. It definately has something appealing to it, but it's merely a first try I'd say. Work on it Lian-Li, and my next rig might be a Monolith (don't use that name! I'll sue you! 😀)

It looks like there are 4 expansion slots, and on the part of the riser it also looks like you can add another riser next to it. The question is, do you get the riser from Lian LI, or a third party riser?
And I love the case but man the same problem I have with Lian Li with this one is the price!

How original, though I wonder if temps would be an issue...and dust of course.

Well... I guess I've got to go against the grain here. This thing is almost as hideous as that snail case they made years ago.
The glass(plexi?) not flushed with the case and the huge knob screws on the side to hold it in bother me and the whole layout inside is terrible IMO. I'll give it a 4/10 only because I know it is built well.

Wow, that looks beautiful! The price? 🙁

Looking at a case like this, is like looking at an outrageous piece of abstract art. It has something mesmerizing to it, but it is not something you would put in your house. But ja, that's just me. 😉

I love it, good work Lian-Li.
but not saying that out loud, I don't want to hurt the feelings of my Silverstone TJ10 😀

This is probably one of the best looking stock towers I've seen, and it's nice to see a slim full-tower. but there seems to be a few flaws:
1. Why not allow low-profile cards? I understand that on some setups, this might make the ribbon cable a little difficult to manage, but they could just make it longer.
2. For a case that seems to be focused on pretty much just 1 expansion card, there's a lot of unnecessary wasted space.
3. The PSU in the front definitely seems weird, but I guess there isn't really a better place to put it.
Personally, I think I'd have been more interested in a micro-ATX variant of this case. These days the main reason for getting full ATX is for expansion, but this case just doesn't allow much room for expansion.

Usually none of his reviews have the price on page one, it is an introductory page of the product not a sales page.

Such a nice case!
icedman
Beautiful case but im not sure i like the layout.

Very intriguing look of this case, however I imagine that it will scratch VERY easily. You'd have to take a lot of care when working in it..

Very awkward case tbh, psu in bad spot, gpu plastered next to pane...
HawaiianBrian
Your right. Just look at the bottom of the one Hilbert has. Paint scratched up big time.

Do want!
EDIT: Really? 400 euro for a damn case? :bang:

Would have loved to see the Positioning of where the PCI-E card will float a little higher, so the Short Risers will allow a GPU to use the most optimal topmost PCI-E slot.
But looks and seems expensive. But that's what you get for slimming down the chassis to such a degree for it to be shoved in tighter spaces. This is best however laid down flat horizontally IMHO as a flat desktop to reduce the stress of the floating PSU and the GPU.
An included Slimline Optical Disk Drive would be nice to have also considering its price.
