This is the only time you will ever see the name "Lian Li" and the words "not too expensive" in the same sentence.

insane200 · 11 Jan 2008 at 16:46

PC7 is £50, G50 is £50 etc.

It's being displayed at CES so I would assume not.

I don't see how it can be 'ugly', plain maybe but not ugly.

What the hell?! Is that Xbox 360 logo made of paper and stuck on the front?! And where is the power button/LED?

Maybe it's still in the making or something lol

Raikiri · 11 Jan 2008 at 16:49

The power button it inside the door afaik, but most people use the controller anyway and the 'logo' was just a sticker so people knew what it was for.

Mobius 1 · 11 Jan 2008 at 16:52

i like it, lol. looks very pc'esque

kidloco · 11 Jan 2008 at 16:52

I dont like the look of it but hopefully it should mean a few others may start making them as well, the cooling should improve, if these take off then I guess its only a matter of time before there are aftermarket heatsinks etc.

we may finnally get a silent, cool 360 !

ScarySquirrel · 11 Jan 2008 at 17:21

It must be a joke. Why make it so big? Also what is with the bit of paper sticking out that says 'Xbox 360' on it.

Ridiculous.

Yeh but without the lian li label, they are cheap nasty £20 cases that you can easily lose a finger on if you arent careful

Put a 12cm Delta Crossflow on that case and probably just sufficient cooling ;-)

theres no way in hell id put that next to my tv !

RuMp3l4$k1n · 11 Jan 2008 at 17:35

They have a good rep for making pc cases and people already like to stick thier 360s in crap transparent plastic shells so this seems like a cool idea to me. Doesn't look that bad, I like the nice big fan on the back.

Kainz · 11 Jan 2008 at 17:40

It's real and part of CES as said. All they've done is got a flamin HTPC case and shoved a 360 in it from the looks of things. I smiled when I saw the headlines a few days ago stating that they were making a 360 case. I couldn't stop laughing when I saw it days later though.

Kyle009 · 11 Jan 2008 at 17:44

not for me.
