    Whoah, that's a seriously decent cube. It's properly cube-shaped too! :D

    It looks somewhat impressive - but suffers from the fact that Lian Li does not list such a product on its website, and the list price is less than $350 USD - the only way this case could be real is if it were custom, and hacked together from two Lian Li towers. Microplex.no is not nearly big enough a site to be able to commission a new case design from Lian Li Industrial and to sell it exclusively. This is most definitely a fake.

    :Edit: Besides, real Lian Lis are a lot cooler ;)

    Its spesealy build by Lian Li for Microplex, and will only be sold by Microplex.no, therfor you will not find it on LianLi`s webside.

    Seriously? :confused:

    Lian Li did not list it on their products page (one would think they would at least link it to Microplex.no). I did visit the product page - and while it is nice looking, in this day and age of photoshopping, one is ultimately a little skeptical. There is also the issue that such a design is a tremendous waste of space and has no 3.5" hard drive bays of any sort - and youre stuck pulling a CM Stacker to get hard drives into this thing.

    In addition, Microplex.no doesnt look to be exactly the biggest retailer; how would they manage a custom commission from Lian Li Industrial to be sold at such a low price? That thing requires a TON of sheet aluminum.

    Gah! This is exactly what my upcoming case mod is going to look like, except with silver PC60s. Now I'll be fighting off "omg you made a li-li cube clone" comments :grr:

    Have to agree, looks far too much like 2 towers stuck together rather than a design from the ground up. Of course I'd like to see some more detailed pics, mostly of the interior before I make up my mind.

    I like it! And what i understand from the Hardware.no site its really specialy made for this retailer. 270€ is not really much for a case like this if you think that a PC 70 costs 250€ over here.

    Check out this weird Micro-ATX case from Lian-Li! Their photos make it look cube-ish. http://lian-li.com/Product/Chassis/Mini_PC-V300.htm .
    Strange, no? It's been a while since they came out with a Micro-ATX/SFF case. This thing looks... interesting, to say the least. The side mounted 5.25 and 3.5 bays are weird... It looks like FANTASTIC modding potential, however.
