CES 2009: Lian Li has announced its new conceptual case, the PC-888, a uniquely styled blue anodized aluminium chassis.

[USRF]Obiwan · 6th Jan 2009, 12:57

Its quite groovy but I'm curious to know what the little chimmney thing on top is?
Looks pretty spacious though...

UrbanMarine · 6th Jan 2009, 13:11

Does it come with a bar?

xaser04 · 6th Jan 2009, 13:13

That is postively vile. (said in a posh accent

)

It's got a flag pole though, which is the main thing.

Seriously though, I'm not a big fan of the blue colour and I don't like the bits stuck on top. Other than that it looks like a good design to me.

icutebluezone · 6th Jan 2009, 13:21

Oh :O owwww no what have thay done.

Its a nice blue thats all i really like about it.

Would hate to no the cost of it.

Blademrk · 6th Jan 2009, 13:22

Looks like a case to match the blue Type R PSU you just reviewed

.

proxess · 6th Jan 2009, 13:22

Will there be a review of this? I'm curious to see the rating of "Ease of Use". Maybe you could also start putting pricing in Euros on the site? Other than that its a rather nice looking case.

Burnout21 · 6th Jan 2009, 13:24

is it just me or has lian li kinda lost the plot recently with there designs, i mean really lost the plot!

Armorsuit PC-P60/80B
TYR PC-X500/2000

maddness!

there seriously high end cases would look aweful in are homes, or maybe its my age talking again...

mmmmmmmmmmm PC-A70B now thats pretty!

Paradigm Shifter · 6th Jan 2009, 13:39

I know that there is the whole 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' thing... but that case looks absolutely horrible. Worse than even some of the 'alien-themed' cases I've seen over the years.

Lian-Li come out with some real stunning cases, though - both the sort of stunning that makes me sit there and go "Oh wow, I want!" and the sort of stunning that makes it sit there and go "I wouldn't want that if it was free!"

This case is most definitely the latter.

severedhead · 6th Jan 2009, 13:51

Thats rank tbh, but I can't deny that its an interesting and unique design.

Delphium · 6th Jan 2009, 14:04

ewwwwwww MY EYES, THEY BLEEED!!!
Thats a pretty nasty case for my likings... however I do like the blue paint job

-1 rep for Lian-Li tbh (again, considering some of the other recent monstrosities).

EDIT: anyone got a mini slinkly.. could make this case 'fun'? hehe

Mongoose132 · 6th Jan 2009, 14:09

My eyes burn O.o

No accounting for some peoples tastes though

samkiller42 · 6th Jan 2009, 14:09

wow, looks absolutley stunning, waits patiently for a full indepth review

DragunovHUN · 6th Jan 2009, 14:10

Uhh that's.... special. They should have at least made it white instead of this terrible blue, that way it would resemble Burge Al Arab.
