I'm not sure. They look like they've taken a 570X, run it through Thermaltake's design department and added some victorian lead windows to the front.

It'll be great quality knowing Lian-Li, but I'm just not sure on it's looks.

I'm with FL630, they look like leaded windows.

That leaded bit looks to be part of the filter. Maybe they're removable?

Yeah, these Thermalcrapped designs/looks just don't fit to Lian Li.
Also proper hole and wire finger guard has been replaced by stamped air flow restriction in rear fan position.
But of course bling bling is more important than functionality...

And with best PSUs producing only down to 5% of PC's total heat output and exhausting it themselves there just isn't good reasons for that separate PSU chamber.
Modular PSUs don't have unnecessary cable/wire spaghetti and it just makes assembling PC harder with less continuous open space to work in.

Can’t unsee the Victorian windows now, these look awful.

It is part of the filter by the looks of it. Can completely remove it or just replace it with different mesh if your DIY skills allow it.
