Lian Li PC-V3000 Prototype Chassis Pictured
Here are some of the first pictures of Lian Li PC-V3000, the company's upcoming flagship chassis. Characterized by Lian Li's favorite material, aluminium, the case features the company's signature design language, with dark, brushed-aluminium exteriors, and silvery aluminium interiors. The company released pictures of a prototype case, with a final release out later this year. Keeping up with the times (i.e. horizontal partition), the PC-V3000 features a vast twin-compartment layout, only that the motherboard layout is inverted (opens out at the right side, with the motherboard being positioned BTX-style).
The Lian Li PC-V3000 has room for ATX and E-ATX motherboards, with room for graphics cards with lengths in the neighborhood of 40 cm, and coolers with heights around 20 cm. The bottom compartment is further partitioned vertically, with the left-side compartment housing the PSU bay and a 3x 3.5-inch drive-cage; while the right-side compartment either serves up room for your liquid cooling gear (such as a 420 mm x 140 mm radiator), or additional 2.5-inch drives. The motherboard tray has three drive mounts on its reverse side. Cooling includes 3x 140 mm side intake, 120 mm rear exhaust, and 3x 120 mm top exhausts.

They should really make the inside mat black
I've never actually seen a Lian Li in real life, so I can't judge too harshly, but they always seem to be about 100% over-priced. Has anybody here owned one for a few years or more?
Lian Li are like the Alpha Romeo or Lancia of PC cases (I know, car comparisons :/) they make great products which often have serious flaws
My Rampage V Extreme could look excellent inside.
I agree with the above comments. We love certain aspects of Lian-Li cases so much that we also welcome their obstacles. Like if my wiring is as beautiful as the case, I'll reach a new level of enlightenment.
the ceiling fan mounts look a bit restrictive though, it annoys me when they do this on cases that also have a fan grille at the rear to be less restrictive on that one
