They're coming out with 2 Lian Li A7x-esque cases and a rather interesting (if not weird looking) MITX case.

Tank XL:

Tank HPTX:

Mini Tank - meant to be able to hold 160mm tall CPU coolers and 340mm long GPUs, plus has 6 HDD bays and 2 5.25" bays (some of the HDD bays would have to be removed for a long GPU). Have to say, it looks 'different'...

I've got to say that internally, it's perfect and something Lian Li should be doing i.e. the cable management holes. The exterior isn't quite as sleek but on the whole, those look very good! Are you getting any Mishima?
 
Precisely my sentiments. Hopefully it'll give Lian Li a kick in the right direction to actually start including useful features that really should be present in cases of their standing. Especially if these come out at the kind of competitive price point the last Cubitek cases came out at.

If we're looking at ~£100-120 for the XL/HPTX I think they could be onto a winner.
 
Ya I have the HPTX incoming! That one basically compares to the Lian Li V2120 and its half the price. I'm interested in seeing the quality of build, should have a video and full article for folk.

I think the XL will sit around £130 whilst the HPTX £180. Still very competitive pricing!

Sounds pretty good, looking forward to your review.
 
Sorry to go off topic a little bit but I've always wondered how much difference the little "feet" make (if at all), or is it just a stylistic addition?

I personally find the feet a bit off putting :)

Something I've noticed many people do with the Lian Li V-series is to remove the feet completely. They will insulate the case very slightly from rattles, but a similar effect could be done with strips of rubber on the bottom of the case.

Ahh - I hadn't thought of that! Cheers for clearing that up :)
 
Really like this range particularly the largest one: the HPTX. Its just a shame that its not set up for a triple rad as it would have to be WC friendly for me get one.
