they made a cube case

I don't really like it...

thoughts?

thegreek · Oct 15, 2006

Why do you think it's poorly designed? I think it's a great case for a server in which it's intended for.

PWatterson · Oct 15, 2006

Server? I like it. For a desktop? Not really.

warlock110 · Oct 15, 2006

for 350 bucks? no thank you

... not worth the price. it's ok for around 100.

Wiggles · Oct 15, 2006

I think it's a great case. Lots of room for endless possibilities.

Also the first time I've heard of that specific case being sold in the US.

DumpALump · Oct 15, 2006

lian li does make some solid cases, and I think this is a good way for them to open up to different possibilities. I loved my old PC70. It definitely looks like a great case to run 10 750gb seagates in if you wanted to be able to stream all your movies around the house.

Its a nice case.... Its not made for water coolin like MM U2 UFO....

And it looks nice without the added paint work... MM looks crap without paint

penguin463 · Oct 15, 2006

ahh, didn't think about using it for a server...

*shrug*

I just don't like the design

I think the thermaltake one

which allows for a mini atx along with a standard atx, plus a 7'' touchscreen display is more functional. I'd like to find one that can hold a router & backup ups PLUS a second mobo, or essentially have 2 pc's in one box with room to spare for additional eqpt. such as a backup ups, wireless router, etc..

It can house a triple 120mm rad in the front and a double 120mm rad on top. How do you get this is not made for watercooling??

Shift · Oct 15, 2006

Agreed with Wicken Clown. OC forums reviewed the case, and nine bays can house a tri-rad. I like the case alot, but it is really expensive. It does have windows, which I liek alot.

You don't know who Lian-Li is huh.

Most of Lian-Li's cases are $100+ and worth every cent.

I just comment on this. Yeah you can fit waterever watercooling in front bays but remember you already dish out over $300 for case. Even if you fit triple radiator it won't look good, placing rady so it won't move is another story. For $300 I would expect case watercooling ready like moutain mods ufo's cases or some other custom made case.

I normally go for flashy looking cases, so I wouldn't buy one... but I like the way it looks.

Fx-53 · Oct 15, 2006

not for that much money.

Go for a yeong yang cube- much cheaper.

They do sell little add-ons that make it easy to mount a radiator securely though, see this frontpage article:

I agree on the whole thing being too expensive though.

Lian Li doesn't have very flashy cases, but I like their simplstic designs, and the anodized finish on the aluminum looks very nice. My PC-61 has been really good to me, easy to work in, mobo tray slides out, and it's very light.

But, this right here looks like an awesome product:
