Lian Li revealed sneak peeks of their new cases: PC-O5, PC-O6 & PC-O7 (*update: final version revealed)

[snowComet]

Once again Lian Li revealed sneak peeks of the cases that they are working on, and ask for constructive feedback. 

 

The cases they revealed are from a series of open air chassis, all of them were made in the same design, with difference mostly on the motherboard size. They are, PC-O5 (Mini-ITX), PC-O6(Micro-ATX), and PC-O7(ATX). 

 

 

Interestingly, all of these open air chassis are wall mountable, together with gpu riser, large tempered glass window, hdd shroud, plentiful cable management space, and slim optical drive bay.And except the PC-O5, the PC-O6 and PC-O7 will have a version that supports water cooling radiators, named PC-O6S and PC-O07S, and they supported one radiator up to 360mm.

 So what do you think about these chassis? They should looks cool, and I think I would buy one as a test bench. But I hope they would make the ATX/Micro-ATX verion longer, so that 2 or more gpus can be installed via pci-e riser...

Lian Li revealed the final version of these open air chassis on their blog. @imthewalrus posted the news about the finalized chassis here, but unfortunately it was combined with this thread. You can see @imthewalrus's post here:

I think it's a neat idea for aesthetics

BUT THEY HAVEN'T CONNECTED THE FREAKING PCI-E RISER!!

Also: How is SLI going to work? How is having multiple cards (soundcard/pci-e ssd/capture card/raid card etc) going to work? Because as far as I can see, there really isn't anywhere to put any of those

[Lavachyste]

They look nice. nice design

[XTankSlayerX]

Looks fugly to me..

[SAV1OUR]

looks great but the pci risers going to look ugly

you can't do sli/crossfire in them, becoz there are only 2 expansion slots in these chassis....

that's why I hope they would make more expansion slots in the atx and m-atx version...

[Bsmith]

this seems interesting enough for somebody without to much room.

[UnknownEngineer]

Looks decent but AFAIK the GPU's on each of them are just there for show, literally, I am not seeing a connector.

[qwertywarrior]

PC-07

the most pointless case ive seen in my life

[Vacsol]

I love it.

Yeah, I hope they do, because having a standard atx motherboard with only room for 1 expansion slot seems like a colossal waste.

I mean, there's not even room for a wifi card unless it's mpci-e

I think this case is much more sensible in its m-itx form. Looks nice, is compact, so it can go on a wall with no problem

I agree... the PC-O5 make the most sense to me... 

but no worries, these are prototypes, and these cases may change when the design is finalized...

you can submit your opinions on the facebook page....

[Optimus Prime]

They would make an amazing htpc case

[Hans Christian | Teri]

looks great but the pci risers going to look ugly 

 

Black PCB and black flex cable, how can this possibly go wrong? If we're lucky you might even be able to get your hands on one as a spare part. Finally a company that cares about aesthetics will be producing a PCI-E riser.

The Hole in the motherboard tray looks tiny

[ZestyJalapeno]

These look great. It's a 'case' of form over function though.

 

PUN TOTALLY NOT INTENDED...WELL MAYBE A LITTLE...OK IT WAS

[Lavachyste]

The Idea is nice, and it's actualy a nice classy look, not too much jackie. I like it.

 

But you need to live in a place that does not have so much dust.

[Misanthrope]

Awesome looks as always, but also as always for Lian li I don't see much in the way of ventilation for this system. Still might use it for my htpc/nas build.

[Baku]

The m-itx and m-atx looks great 

[Mooshi]

That thing is skinnier than an anorexic teen, do not want. For aesthetic reasons and lack of support for good tower coolers, these tiny towers are a huge no. Highly impractical and lack of cooling support. Phanteks Evolv dumps all over this internal design. Had a Lian Li that was pure form over function before, never again.

[Notional]

Wow Lian Li, they look amazing. And finally, tempered glass. I hope that will be a defacto standard for all your cases from now on. I hope all of them have an S model, for AIO water coolers like the 7 model. The only thin I find a little disspointing, is that these cases are fully open on the sides. This gives more noise, and more dust. They should have some sort of dust filter stuff there.

It is interesting to see a fully passive case, but at the same time, I do worry about the heat.

[alby800]

THEY RIPPED OFF @Maki Role

[Redheadsrule13]

I like the look, it's not very practical seeing as it has no support for dual graphics cards (as has been pointed out already), but hey, this seems like a case for someone why is fussed by the looks far more than the limited expansion and lack of other features.

[Trik'Stari]

I'm cumming

[mikeeginger]

Nice
