Seems kinda pointless in a ITX setup. Really how much can you show off?

 

[halcyon]

That's pretty cool. Gotta love Lian-Li. I love what they do with aluminum.

Looks like it should have a LCD screen in the front where the window is. Make the screen touch and you'd have an interesting lil kiosk type computer you could place on any counter at a business.

can anyone say ugly?

 

[osamabinrobot]

what? no.

This would be really cool for making kind of a homemade AIO. Just mount a monitor on the front and it would be a great and very functional case.

Uh...wouldn't an all in one be a better option then? I assume that anyone using this case would want to put a discrete graphics card or something of the sort in there.

@ themissingpiece depends on what you want to use it for. I'm looking at it from a business viewpoint, initial cost is about that of an all in one, but if any part fails your down time is higher, my idea if a part fails you can simply replace it, and it's more upgradeable.

The only PC case that can do the Mambo!

I think it looks nice, could see using it as a HTPC a nice pretty case to go on a shelf instead of a square box, my wife would probably prefer something looking like the current old mini atx case i use

 

[twu]

He makes ugly cases. He should ban from making computer cases.

 

[ubercake]

Neat, but a curved design is not too practical.

@cobra5000
You probably mean Limbo... that thing Jamaicans do to break there neck......

Replace the window with a VESA mount for an LCD and I think you have a winner

 

[anonymous_user]

For some reason this case reminds me of a front-loading washer.

This would make it look a little like one of those original Macintosh computers, but in color and curved back.

 

[antemon]

i like it.
make one for a mATX or ATX, maybe deeper to house a better cooler and lose the logo up front.
i'm not seeing any options to route the cables on the outside though, so they should add that too

 

[Ro0ster]

Definitely will pass on this. Lian Li has some great cases, but how this got approved by their designers, I have no idea.
