[btarunr]

LIAN LI Industrial Co. Ltd., a leading chassis and PC accessories manufacturer, premieres the LIAN LI 2024 DIGITAL EXPO at 9 am EST on YouTube. In this 2-part video, LIAN LI shares updates on prototype cases, a standing desk, and unveils new concepts for an all-in-one cooler and power supply. The prototypes include the SUP-01, the case that experiments with a front GPU layout, the DAN Cases A3 M-ATX case, and the O11 VISION BACK CONNECT. LIAN LI also unveils the GALAHAD II LCD SHIFT, an AIO that minimizes the tubing, the EDGE Series PSU, a new form factor power supply that solves cable access in dual chamber cases, and the DK-07, a new standing desk with new features. The LIAN LI 2024 DIGITAL EXPO will be followed by a roundtable discussion hosted by Jameson Chen, CEO at LIAN LI, with YouTube influencers Stuart Tonks from GGF Events, Justin Robey from Robytech, and PCMR's founder Pedro Valadas.

The SUP-01, a compact 45-liter case, reimagines the PC layout with a front-positioned graphics card and innovative cooling. Equipped with airflow-optimized mesh panels, it surpasses the LANCOOL 216 in cooling performance. The GPU's unique placement optimizes cooling without sacrificing aesthetics and is supported by adjustable brackets. The airflow configuration strategically utilizes GPU fans and rear fans as intakes, and right-side fans as exhausts, ensuring optimal GPU and CPU cooling. The main chamber accommodates motherboard sizes up to ATX, pre-mounted PCIe 4.0 riser cable, and features clearance for 280 to 360 mm AIOs. Storage options include two SSDs or 3.5" HDDs, a removable drive cage, and magnetic dust filters to maintain system cleanliness. The price is set to be $149.99.



DAN Cases A3
The DAN Cases A3, an M-ATX all-mesh case with steel panels and a fabric front panel, ensures a flexible and efficient building experience. Two fan-radiator brackets support up to 360 radiators, three 120 mm or two 140 mm fans each. The case stands out for its adaptability, featuring a standard motherboard tray, horizontal GPU layout, and an adjustable PSU bracket within six different positions for ATX PSUs up to 140 mm. GPU and cooling support vary based on PSU placement: top for a 400 mm GPU, middle for a 333 mm GPU with enhanced top cooling, and low for 360 radiator support at the top. PSU at the front accommodates 30 series GPUs and 4060/70 TI GPUs, while side placement increases side cooling. Storage options include a moveable bracket for two 2.5" SSDs and additional SSD or HDD mounting at the bottom. Front I/O includes two USB Type A, audio jacks, and a USB Type C port. The price is set to be $69.99.

O11 VISION BACK CONNECT
This variant of the O11 VISION supports motherboards with back connectors. The O11 VISION BACK CONNECT caters to back-connected ATX and M-ATX motherboards while retaining its pillar-less frame and support for regular motherboards. Notable changes include a fixed motherboard tray and support for two 120 mm fans at the rear, eliminating the 240 mm radiator option, and non-tinted tempered glass panels for a clear view inside the case. The O11 VISION BACK CONNECT MSRP is expected to be $129.99.

O11 Vision Chrome
LIAN LI is proud to launch the O11 VISION Chrome edition at the 2024 Digital Expo. The Chrome edition is equipped with chrome-plated glass panels, providing a sleek and reflective aesthetic. Priced at an MSRP of $149.99, the O11 Vision Chrome is now available for pre-order at official retailers, including Newegg, Caseking, and Overclockers UK starting today.

GALAHAD II LCD SHIFT
The GALAHAD II LCD SHIFT introduces a unique tube routing approach, allowing tubes to be tucked alongside the radiator for a near-tubeless aesthetic. Utilizing durable inner tubes commonly used in server rooms, it offers flexibility for bending around the radiator's edge. Retention brackets align the tubes with the pump block, offering customizable routing options. Plastic shrouds that cover portions of the water tube provide a seamless look, adaptable for right or left-side mounting. A 2.88" LCD panel on the cooling head controlled by L-Connect software enhances customization. The SHIFT includes a cover cap to conceal the pump block mounting mechanism. The cooler has a 32 mm thick radiator, 28 mm fans, and enhanced pump features. The GALAHAD II LCD SHIFT is available in 360 mm with the option of black and white.

EDGE Series PSU
The EDGE Series PSU possesses a unique form factor for optimal cable port access for dual-chamber cases. The embossed pattern mesh cover provides a clean aesthetic while facilitating the PSU's cooling. Addressing the scarcity of USB 2.0 headers in modern PCs, the EDGE series offers 4 additional USB headers, ensuring sufficient power for devices like the STRIMER, UNI FANs, or GALAHAD AIOs.The EDGE series includes a 600 W 12VHPWR power cable for the latest GPUs and two types of SATA cables. The EDGE Series will be available in black, and white including wattage options of 1300 W 80+ Platinum, 1000 W 80+ Gold, and 850 W 80+ Gold, with a black 850 W version featuring non-sleeved cables.

DK-07
The last announcement is the DK-07, which combines technology and stylish design. Featuring a glass top covering the component chamber, surrounded by aluminium panels, the desk boasts a built-in 30" LG transparent OLED display, functioning as a second monitor without obscuring the system. Other features include a top-accessible drawer on the right, an integrated cup holder with cooling or warming options on the left, and a retractable USB hub on the tabletop. The computer compartment supports up to two 360 or two 280 radiators and six 120 mm or five 140 mm fans at the front, up to a 360 radiator and three 120 mm fans mounted flat on the right side, and up to a 360 or a 280 radiator and three 120 mm or two 140 mm fans mounted sideways to the left. Clearance for graphics cards up to 4 slots thick and 340 mm long is also available. Storage comprises 4 accessible drive bays supporting 3.5" HDDs or 2.5" SSDs under the tabletop's right side.

Bring back your old aluminum cases from the late 90s and early 2000s and ditch all this glass bullshit!

Was just about to post something similar, although worded slightly differently. I loved Lian Li cases when they did those fantastic aluminum ones. Had the PC61 myself. These days it's just one tempered glass window case after the other. Just like pretty much everyone else.

But if they made aluminum cases, how would they sell everyone RGB fans?

I like the 32mm thick radiator on that AIO, but I REALLY wish that manufacturers would start offering varying radiators on AIOs with respect to thickness. Why not have a 240, 280, 360mm AIO that comes in 30, 45, and 60mm thick? It's obvious that CPUs are getting to the point where your typical 360mm, 28mm thick AIO isn't cutting it anymore on top skus. Personally, even if I wasn't running an overclock and looking for maximum performance, I'd still be interested in a 60mm thick 360mm AIO so I could run the fans at a lower speed.....I'm just surprised that with the PC market's insatiable desire for new products and accessories, and with companies constantly spitting out new products, even ones nobody asked for, we haven't seen more options in the AIO category .....I know there are a few products, I think Alphacool has a 45mm thick AIO and I came across a Chinese company called Valkarie that offers a 38mm thick AIO, and I know Hyte just released thick 240mm aio (though I wish they would have done a 360mm AIO in that thickness....

I actually straight up don't understand that PSU. I've built in dual chamber cases, the thought of "this PSU layout is sub-optimal" never even half occurred.

And they have the largest selection of dual chamber cases on market so that PSU design choice is straight up puzzling. For cases where PSU is installed on bottom or in front(esp in SFF) that PSU is going to be far more useful.

Nice of LianLi not to include the actual videos:

 

[bonehead123]

1. Yee haw for the support of the back-connector mobo's.....hopefully this will inspire other mfgr's to get with the program asap...

2. Crapper award for the extra dark pics...like wtf, are they afraid that someone will be able to actually make out any of the details of whatever part they are looking at ??

3. Curious about the desk/pc combo thing....might be interesting but looks too small to be useful for most folks...

4. I'm not sure I really understand what they are trying to say/accomplish with that PSU.... the singular pic does not match up to nor elaborate on the description....

Agreed, the Youtube RGB gamer aesthetic is played out AF.

I'm currently using a PC-9F here and feature wise and cooling its good enough but would love to see Lian Li return to form and produce something actually good looking that isn't just a ploy to maximize surface area for glass and RGB to draw in the attention of the average gamers oversized lizard brain.

 

[HBSound]

I like the desk option for sure. The desk option would allow me to remove the larger case, and set it all internally. I am so curious, what is the surface of the desk temps with PC right there.

 

[Random_User]

Sorry, but this is the best use of such cases. Clearly, the people prefering these "fish tanks" didn't have enough of aquariums.
