Lian Li Bets Big on Computex 2019 with New Chassis, Fans, CPU AIO, Motorized Desk
LIAN LI's stars of the show this year are the head turning and showpiece worthy new Odyssey X, a morphable PC chassis with flare, and the revolutionary Concept UNI Fan, an aesthetically pleasing solution to cable clutter. To accompany its latest innovations, LIAN LI also launches a few new products such as the next generation of the TU and LANCOOL series chassis with the TU150 and LANCOOL II, and co-designed products with the O11D-Distro Block G1 and O11 Dynamic XL. In addition, LIAN LI will also be presenting its latest desk solutions with the DK-04 F and DK-05 F, as well as a new contender in the AIO field with the Galahad 240 CPU AIO. Once again, LIAN LI brings a successful lineup of solutions that are sure to make PC enthusiasts drool with envy.
Odyssey X
LIAN LI makes its entry into the special form factor showcase world with the Odyssey X, a one of a kind 2 in 1 morphable PC chassis designed with the help of Der8auer. While the Odyssey X is designed to offer everything you would expect from LIAN LI in a well-rounded DIY oriented case, it provides a unique level of customization with its ability to change between two modes, Performance vs Dynamic. While the Performance mode is designed to provide more space for thick radiators, one at the front and one on the side, it keeps a more classic style. When assembled in Dynamic mode, the all aluminum Odyssey X is more aggressive and stylish, making it a real looker.
Concept UNI Fan
While RGB fans can be found in most systems nowadays, the Concept UNI Fan brings a unique and refreshing feature that makes installation and cable management a breeze. Designed with a quick connecting point system, multiple Concept UNI Fans can interlock and daisy chained together to make installation and power connectivity easy with only 4 screws (2 at the first fan, and two at the last) and a single cable. Every Concept UNI Fan comes with a hot-plug cable wire and male/female quick connecting point that allows for the fans to either be mounted individually or to have multiple fans interlocked together seamlessly and act as one single unit.
TU150
Designed to cater to the latest PC DIY trends, the TU150 functionalities are inspired by the market leaders TU100 and TU200. Notable improvements include a redesign of the iconic handle which is now retractable and can vanish seamlessly into the chassis top panel to leave room to a stylish system for all to admire. In addition, the top panel gained depth from the handle leaves enough room for proper cable management, an essential feature in mini-ITX cases. Available with an aluminum side panel or a tempered glass side panel, the TU150 lets the user display their RGB enthusiasm or remain classy and subtle. Keeping the DIY spirit in mind, the TU150 remains a roomy mini-ITX case with plenty of space for cable management, room for a 120mm fan at the front and the rear for good air circulation and temperature control, and enough depth for a 172mm tall air cooler or a 120mm AIO.
LANCOOL II
The newest addition to the LANCOOL series is the perfect combination of functionality and flexibility. Featuring flip panels all around, accessibility reaches a new level never achieved before. The hinged glass panels and two bottom PSU shroud panel mean the users can easily manage the cable, and also access their HDD and SSD without untying or ruining their cable management. The LANCOOL II also takes a step further towards better cable management by featuring cable covers that allow you to hide all your cables on the right side of the case, for a seamless built finish to be appreciated through the glass panel. Optimized for cooling while maintaining a unique look, the LANCOOL II features a quick connect LED-lit front panel, manageable via some buttons featured on the same panel, as well as two huge mesh on the front bezel for unrestricted airflow. In addition, the easily detachable fan mounting bracket near the bezel is designed to provide additional air intake as well as horizontal movement to allow the installation of thicker radiators or simply to move the fan away from the bezel.
O11D-Distro block G1 designed by EKWB
LIAN LI O11 Dynamic case's success among the community has been overwhelming. As it is becoming the new reference chassis for water cooling, LIAN LI cooped with EKWB to design a new distro block to provide nothing but the best solution for water cooling. The O11D-Distro block G1 features multiple water inlet and outlet ports to provide an adaptable solution for single GPU, dual GPU, vertical GPU, single rad or dual rad configurations. The endless configuration possibilities also eliminate the need for additional tube bending, making water cooling the O11D Dynamic a dream.
O11 Dynamic XL ROG Certified
The O11 Dynamic XL is the newest and greatest upgraded version of the very popular O11 Dynamic. Once again designed with the collaboration of Germany's famous Der8auer, the O11 Dynamic XL is bigger in every way (depth, height, and width) to further increase its possibility of water-cooling capabilities by providing more space for thicker radiators as well as taller GPU water blocks. The space behind the motherboard tray now features four hot-swappable hard drive bays as well as four additional SSD space behind the cable bar. The additional cover/SSD trays mounted on the side radiator area gives the possibility to the user to either choose to install SSDs or remove the tray to mount fans or a radiator. The modularity of these trays also allows for placement of the SSDs on the bottom of the case.
DK-04 F and DK-05 F
With the DK-04 F and DK-05 F, LIAN LI provides a desk/workstation solution with a stylish design, adjustable height electrical system, roomy single/dual system bay which provides great flexibility to truly create a unique desk-PC combo, and great airflow.In addition, LIAN LI go as far as adding a never seen before crystal top panel. When on, the panel is as clear as the tempered glass it is made of, but when turned off, the crystal panel changes into a glossy finish to provide a more discreet finish. New LED management and fan speed control buttons can be found at the front of the desk, allowing you to fully control your desk's style and noise level.
Galahad 240
LIAN LI makes its entry in the CPU AIO cooling filed with the Galahad AIO 240. Featuring a 240mm radiator, dual fans, and an adaptable CPU block to most of AMD and Intel's socket, the Galahad is a proper knight in shining aluminum brushed armor that will fight off thermal throttling relentlessly and in style. Featuring a ring of addressable LEDs at the top of the CPU block which can be controlled via a remote, the light effect can be minimized by applying a magnetic cover cap, making the presence of the AIO more discreet.

However, I would like it even more if those glass panels were hinged to open outwards to allow access to the interior...
I also like the Unifan concept, but only if they can convince other fan mfgrs to make fans that are compatible with it. This probably will never happen, since they will wanna sell more of their own fans by keeping it locked down to only theirs.....
But OTOH, maybe other mfgrs will see this and duplicate it somewhat, so that we can use practically any make/model/size of fans..like maybe 140mm units....
