Lian Li has been releasing special edition cases, which having unusual appearances like train, seashell, or even the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. On 31st of Dec, Lian Li revealed the PC-Y6, a yacht theme aluminium case, which will also exhibit in CES 2016.

Same as the train theme PC-CK101, the PC-Y6 is a mini-itx case, without any 5.25" drive bay. The case only comes in silver or white. Due to space limitation in the PSU chamber, you can only use SFX psu, but it can accommodate a graphics card up to 300mm, which means you can even put a reference GTX 980Ti in it. Unfortunately there is only one fan mount for a 120mm fan, and from its position (under the graphics card chamber) it seems you would have some difficulty in mounting and routing the radiator.

Same as PC-08, it has a "LED RGB Color Changing Kit", which you can change the color of the LED lights from showing red, green or blue. You can change the color via the knobs on the rear of the case.

Pricing and availability is still TBA.

Bad news if it doesn't.

Too bad it doesnt support water cooling.

 

Would look so much better if it was a continuation of those semi-circles down to the base, instead of having a boat at the bottom.

I think you could do a custom loop, but with much difficulty....

or you could try to fit Corsair's Hydro Series™ H5 SF Low-Profile Liquid CPU Cooler in it.....

I'm not a fan of themed or open air cases in general, but dare I say this actually looks kinda nice? Wouldn't buy it in a hundred years of course, but still... :)

Desktop:     Core i7-9700K @ 5.1GHz all-core = ASRock Z390 Taichi Ultimate = 16GB HyperX Predator DDR4 @ 3600MHz = Asus ROG Strix 3060ti (non LHR) = Samsung 970 EVO 500GB M.2 SSD = ASUS PG279Q

 

Notebook:  Clevo P651RG-G = Core i7 6820HK = 16GB HyperX Impact DDR4 2133MHz = GTX 980M = 1080p IPS G-Sync = Samsung SM951 256GB M.2 SSD + Samsung 850 Pro 256GB SSD

is that, a 2.5" HDD?  why!?

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

but why on earth would they demo it like that?  put in an SSD or something... and adding RAM and a PSU wouldn't hurt either :P

Theres no mounting positions for a rad, and the case is too small for the h5-sf

Do they actually sell well though?  I'm having trouble imagining the market for this; if we take the people who care enough about computers to want that crazy of a "case", and take the people who would want this over something also cool looking but way more practical, I'm not sure there is much if any overlap  :wacko:

I'd consider it for a home theatre system.

I'm going to shove my grandad's AMD Phenom rig on this for an April Fool's joke.

I agree that these cases aren't practical, but for the most part these are showpiece cases rather than actual consumer products. They are simply meant to stand out among the other booths and get free press attention and stuff like that. And even if they do decide to sell it, it will be sold at a hefty premium and have a limited run. Worst case scenario: When Lian Li combines free advertisement, cost of R&D and materials, they at least break even.
