This could have been an interesting thing, but the strange, reddish pink color just ruins it for me. Also, I bet it has a premium price tag.

it is a nice box a bit late on twin mobo market and a bit expensive. funny it is black with colored inside as everyone does... from lian li we could have expected something more "premium" as full white or more kinky... but i keep my LD frame 😉

I had never understood the Double system Chassis, but in this case it looks just beautiful, i could use one part as 3D Modeler Station and the other part as Render Server.

$600? No thanks. I've toyed with the idea of a dual mobo case but not for that price

The Good: Lian-Li The Bad: 1.Super expensive - less metal than two cases, and still costs way more than two cases. 2.Dual case - if one system goes down and you need to change hardware, it is not going to be a good idea to leave the other system up. 3.Only Mini/Micro ATX on the one side? Since when is that a good idea. 4. The heat from 2 systems being dumped inside one case 5. HUGE 6. Not near enough airflow through the case.

Nice case but.. I've been looking for a case design like this for my primary Server with and aux Mini Pc with Drive Pool for daily/weekly backups of my media files. As stated above air flow seems to be an issue on the drive mount side. I would use both the hot swap units and add a 2 bay one above the other two cages with room for 3 or 4 my drives for mini pc above. But I don't understand why the drive bays don't have a bezel cover that swings away instead of the single covers. There is no air flow thru the drive cage nor any filter to block dust from entering through the drive covers. Has anyone seen any other companies using a dual system that has not been retired or has been sold out? I looked at the HAF stackers from Cooler Master but the lack of sites for purchase let alone any of the spare case parts are not orderable or are sold out. Edit: I later discovered a hot swap insert cage from Icy Dock that looks like the case still might work for me.
