It’s been well over a year since Lian-Li first gave us a glimpse at its motorized DK-04 sit-stand desk, which wowed us with its stunning good looks, features, and overall functionality. Now, Lian-Li is back with the inevitable successor, the DK-05, and it is definitely worthy of your attention. The DK-05 was first shown off earlier this year at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, and is capable of housing two fully functioning workstations within its enclosure. E-ATX motherboards are supported, and each complete system has access to four 3.5-inch and two 2.5-inch storage bays. Each also can accommodate high-performance graphics cards up to 36cm in length and high capacity ATX power...

It looks as though the folks at Lian-Li took the term desktop computer a bit too literally with their new DK-04 system, which is literally a desk that doubles as an enclosure for your PC components. The DK-04 has a clean, industrial design and even has an electrically actuated height adjustment system that than can raise the desktop from a height of 30.7 inches to 46 inches at the touch of a button. The Lian-Li DK-04 also has all the makings of a kickass gaming case (as if the electronic height adjustment wasn’t enough). The desk itself is made out of aluminum (the legs are made out of iron), while the desk surface is made of tempered glass (which can support up to 220 pounds) so that you can...

We’ve seen our share of wild chassis designs, and Lian Li is giving the world another with the DK01, which is a chassis that serves double duty as a PC case and a desk, which brings new meaning to the phrase, “sitting at your computer”. The funky DK01 looks like a brushed-metal chassis turned on its side and mounted on legs and the surface is a solid piece of tempered glass. The power button and some USB 3.0 ports and audio jacks are on the front side of the case, to the right of where the user would sit. It’s unclear where the rear I/O ports are stashed. Lian Li DK01 The DK01 seems like a brilliant DIY mod, but Lian Li has applied its spit and polish to the idea which...

Lian Li makes some killer cases, but the company is not above gathering input from users on designs and features. The latest chassis it’s soliciting feedback on is the prototype for the PC-A51, which is in the same line as the PC-A05N. As it stands, the PC-A51 is a nice-looking case, sporting a black-and-red look that combines clean lines with pops of color. Key features include support for 240/280mm radiators, 30mm of space behind the motherboard tray for better cable management, a tool-less HDD bay system, and a front-mounted PSU designed to let users take more advantage of the available space. There’s also a huge clear window so you can see all the hot hardware inside. The PC-A51...

If you love building computers, you probably appreciate a good case or chassis. While there are plenty of excellent products available for a song, there’s also an upper echelon of models that cost quite a bit and offer all the premiere features you could hope for. While it seems as though there’s a lot of similarity between low-end and midrange cases, once you get to a certain price point, various companies take things in very different directions. The three premium chassis we’re looking at in this roundup certainly bear that out. In Win, Lian Li, and SilverStone all make some beautiful cases. And when we asked them to send us one of their top of the line products, they all...

Lian-Li has a wide selection of computer chassis available supporting virtually every size of motherboard imaginable, but the company is about to release many more. We swung by Lian-Li’s booth at CES to see what’s coming down the pike, and we ended up ogling a whole fleet of all-metal, intriguing cases. All of the cases we saw on display have the same basic look and design: they’re all black, with a brushed metal finish and gray metal interiors. That may sound somewhat dreary, but up close in person, it’s a striking and attractive look. Notably, there are no plastic parts on these cases; the Lian-Li brass reportedly won’t have it. Lian Li PC-V850 One of our favorites...

Cutting down the noise emitting from a computer chassis is a constant goal of case builders, and silent cases are typically an exercise in clever engineering. The latest entry into the silent chassis market is Lian-Li’s PC-B12, an all-black all aluminum number that employs noise-reducing foam on the front and side panels and sucks in air through a bottom intake and vents it out through a downward-facing exhaust baffle. The PC-B12 sports two external 5.25-inch drive bays, eight expansion slots, ATX and micro ATX motherboards, and supports up to three 3.5-inch drives and one 2.5-inch drive (with a hot-swap option). There are two stock fans (140mm) on the front and one in the back (120mm),...

Anyone who's opened a PC before knows it's quite common to find dust bunnies inside, even though dust and electronics don't exactly form a great duo. In an effort to help reduce the dust inside of one's case, Lian-Li is equipping all of its cases with easy-to-remove twist motion air filters. These washable air filters work with Lian Li and other manufacturers' 120mm and 140mm fans.

If it's not Thermaltake, it's Lian Li pushing the envelope in the PC chassis space. These two have been delivering cases that are weird, sexy or just plain huge, with the new PC-X900 fitting into the last one there.

Ah, the quickly diminishing DIY HTPC market. Whatever happened to the legions of PC users who were chomping at the bit to craft their very own home theater PC? We're guessing the smattering of low-cost movie set-top boxes coupled with all those other streaming options kind of put a damper on things, but that's not stopping Lian-Li from pushing out a new pair of HTPC enclosures for those still willing to get their hands dirty for the sake of OTA tuning.The PC-C33 and PC-C34F enclosures look awfully similar at first glance, though the latter is a tad larger at 432mm x 168mm x427mm compared to 425 x 168 x 460mm of the former. Both units boast the company's tried and true brushed black anodized aluminum ...

Costing around $140, the Lian-Li V600 looks sleek and is a high quality case, which is expect of Lain-Li. Quality aside however, this case may or may not be what you're looking for, as PC Perspective reports."Here you can see the result of loosing 4.5" in height. The same upside down or BTX style back plane for motherboard placement, no exhaust fan placement and the power supply cavity is turned into the vertical position. Just above the power supply bracket are two thumbscrews with two more just below the perforations near the top of the case, they hold an internal bracket that has a 120 mm fan attached." ...
