I'm the biggest Lian Li fanboy going, but even I think Lian Li were smoking a little too much chronic when they drew this up
I... wow. Somebody needs to lose their job over that one, probably the puppeteer for that comedy-filled expose.
OMGWTFROFLBBQ what did I just watch? And a mini-ITX test bed?!!?!?!?!+1+1+ (sorry for the excessive use, but that's how I feel) wasn't Antec Skeleton bad enough? Then they made the Mini version, which NOBODY bought, and now Lian Li it would be a good idea to screw their classy imago by manufacturing that pile of -----? I know it's only February, but that gets my vote for the most useless piece of hardware of the year 2010.
Although the mini-ITX-only nature of it does raise some questions about what they were thinking, I honestly like the idea! If you're continuously swapping hardware in and out of your case, then this is a rather elegant, and unique way to do it! There are a limitless number of ways you could potentially set this up for ease of access (those legs would handily bolt up to an existing metal-framed structure to tuck it out of the way, off your desk). As to the commercial itself, I kind of liked it. It's unique, and one of a kind. The cheese just adds to it I feel. Certainly got our attention, didn't it?
Tim: You're scared of mice and spiders, but oh-so-much greater is your fear that one day the two species will cross-breed to form an all-powerful race of mice-spiders who will immobilize human beings in giant webs in order to steal cheese.
Thanks for the kudos. We knew it would come off cheezy, but at least would make people sit up and think: "wow, that's different." or most likely : "WTF", which happens so seldom when new products are launched. Having seen the platform, and handled it, it is definitely not as flimsy as it looks. I had to leave all the screws half done and ended up losing some just to get the thing to move a little. Anyway, look out for some interesting mini-ITX boards which may be overclocker friendly.
