one thing is kinda' unclear to me, Aluminium?!?! it is plain Al or is it Duraluminium, because plain Al is just too soft

[Khajiit Dealer]

So they attached some wheels and a couple handles to a PC case?

 

 

Why has no one pointed out that this thing will damage your components if you roll it around? 

[theereal]

If you intend to carry something around constantly, GET A LAPTOP!

[Notree]

I'd be a great lan case. I was expecting a much higher price tag honestly.

[linuxfan66]

This is for lan and esport guys. Also pros who stop at locations for days at a time I suspect.

[Notional]

Sweet. I love Lian Li's hot swap HDD PCB's (have them in my v700wx too).

 

You can fit a lot of AMD graphics cards in that thing

[Bl00dgod]

maybe theres a special button so it transforms into a laptop

 

we already got nice portable cases like the corsair graphit 380t and other ones... just without a "trolley grip"

[DigitalHermit]

Now how would the TSA react when they see that metal box, open it up and find a lot of wires and a lot of electronics that they don't understand?

[Picky Peep]

Ah Lian Li, always making those niche cases I don't care about :')

[German_John]

This would make so much more sense if it were mATX or ITX. 

[Sauron]

It's a case with a handle... it's been done before

[DIV1D3]

Eh, why not?

I'd rather have this than another completely plastic "HARDCORE GAMER" case. 

 

Nothing says hardcore like Georgia font...

[spwath]

It's a case with a handle... it's been done before

But its nice pretty aluminum.

 

And it is sturdied for travel

[soaringchicken]

cool, but not something I'd be interested in buying.

lmao true 

[JAKEBAB]

Should of made it m-atx, put the PSU in the regular spot at the bottom then have hdd cages in the front.

[Swndlr]

Why has no one pointed out that youll get tackled at an airport for having this for obvious reasons...

[Ohlyver]

And no GPU support bracket?

[Sauron]

I'm pretty sure stainless steel is sturdy enough. What matters is that if it gets shaken a lot or falls from even a small height the parts inside may get damaged. Specifically, a large graphics card would really suffer from that to the point where it might bend the pcie slot or fall out.

Yeah.

But this case is pretty.

[ClownFace1511]

So if you walk around with that and people see what's inside and they call the cops thinking its a bomb. Good Job Lian li.

[Misanthrope]

And no GPU support bracket?

 

Lol, a CPU bracket support would just create a nice breaking point for when it is thrown around the airport luggage system.

 

Seriously their smaller itx carrying case was fine, this one should just be called "The liability accelerator!"

Well, I think that people who would use this case might also use dedicated GPU instead of onboard..

And rolling it around on a trip is sure to cause lot of vibration and shock..

So that's why I mentioned the apparent lack of support bracket for heavyweighted heatsink for some gpu

[Imakuni]

So, uh, where's the monitor?

[MrRavens]

Lol I was gonna say the same thing. What a way to always be stopped at the airport lol.
