Looks like it has a built in PCB so the HDs plug in like hot swap bays, full mesh bay covers (usually 5-6 quid a piece), simple built in fan controller, cable routing holes in the motherboard tray, PSU is held partially outside the case to make more space, 140mm side panel fan, holes for water cooling tubing, more I/O ports...


Looks bloody brilliant

They just need to do a version where the inside is anodized black as well.

That looks amazing. The hot swap HDD bay is a stroke of genius. I assume there's some standard connection dimensions, so all SATA drives will work?

I really want one...

I want one too...shame it'll cost more than I can afford.

Yeah, if you go through the pics on the LL site, you'll see that the power and data connections for the sata drives. These positions seem to be standard now.

Wow that looks fantastic.

I'll presume you can have a normal bracket for the powersupply so it sits properly inside?
That case has everything I like about the V series, yet none of the downsides as far as I can see.

 

[naudiz]

That does look pretty immense, love the idea of having hotswap hard drives

looks like a V1000 with PC-A10 internals and some new features.

nice!

 

[Doohickey]

Hell yes. This will be my next case.

 

[Chimerical]

Hot-swappable HDD's has already been done in the HP Blackbird 002. But yeah, it's a really nice feature and good to see case manufacturers employing it.

 

[Psypher5]

well, ill have to buy some mesh drive bays so my v1k feels loved now

 

[artaxerxes]

I hunted high and low for mesh bezels for my V1000 +II last autumn, and ended up getting the EX33 3 HDD mesh fronted bay. The bezels are widely available now though! The new ones seem to have filters on.

 

[Psypher5]

love the side panel too, might make my v1k look like this would look very smart if the cables were tidy.

 

[Deluxe1]

Nice case but i`m gonna try and hold out for the PC-V1010

 

[PinkFloyd]

Personally think the V1010 looks ugly with it lacking the mesh front.

 

[Tosk]

hmm i like it a lot

here are some imgs lian li as on there site

[naudiz]

Just one problem maybe I can see is that it could benfit from another intake fan at the top, doesn't look like theres much room for air to get to the motherboard from that bottom intake fan

Naud

 

[PinkFloyd]

I think the fan over the graphics card would be an intake.
Plus the whole case is vented so don't think it would be much of a problem.

 

[simonnance]

from the orientation fo the 140mm in the pics its an exhaust..... just like in the A10.
