Lian Li has been taking some very unique case concepts, and turning them into more affordable versions of the ones that inspired them. The first Lian Li product we came across was the “desk case”, which was inspired by Red Harbinger. At over $1999 US, it was unique, and had a premium price to with it. So when Lian Li brought out their DK-02X at $1189 US, there was hope that some day, we all might be able to afford one. The modding community inspired cases to be tackled, are wall mountable ones. That’s where the Lian Li O Series fits in.
The new Lian Li O Series comes ready to mount on your wall, or it can be used as a classy looking vertical desktop, with an included aluminum stand, or it can placed horizontally, with included feet, for a more HTPC appearance.
The models in the Lian Li O Series include the PC-O5 (mini ITX), PC-O5S (Mini ITX), PC-O6S (micro-ATX) and PC-O7S (ATX), and should cover most form factor needs. An included PCI express riser card helps the cases keep a low profile, and supports up to full sized GPUs for maximum gaming performance, as shown above in the PC-07s. The PC-05s will support the shorter ITX GPUs like ones from MSI and others.
For cooling, the S in the name, denotes compatibility with water cooling systems, from 240mm on the PC-O5S, to 360mm on the PC-06S and the PC-07S. Low profile air coolers, like the Noctua C Series, are also supported.
The chassis is constructed from aluminum, while a large tempered glass window finishes off the aesthetic design of the O series, revealing everything for that sweet wall mount look.
In terms of pricing, the new cases start at $ 289 US for the PC-05, up to $419 US for the PC-07s. The expected launch time frame is sometime in February of 2015.
