Lian-Li Innovates PC-888 System Case
The first shape that comes to your mind when you think of a system case probarbly is a cuboidal tower with a little decoration thrown in, with essentially the same internal locations for installing your parts to build a PC. Lian-Li sought to break the mould with the introduction of the PC-888 at the 2009 CES event. The PC-888 sports a whacky design, that is inspired quite seriously by the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai, just that the pearl white decked with glass makes way for ocean-blue. Bit-Tech published the first pictures of this rather interesting looking "case".
Given its shape, the interiors have been compartmentalised accordingly to distinct areas holding the system board, hard drives, power supply and space for even a water cooling system to creep in. There is a generous amount of ventilation and cable management features provided. For more pictures, head over to Bit-Tech here.

Super Manocean-blue.The case
It's not very bad i've seen worse... :D
it does indeed seem to have good airflow, and maybe would look good as an HTPC rig, if only it was silver/black/white
Nevertheless, its good to see unorthodox case molds.
First thing, I was sure it was a wifi antenna at the top of the case. Am I the only one who thought wifi? To have that spike at the top with no function is a waste.
