Where would one start when describing the PC-U6? It certainly would not be the feature set or the price. The blatantly obvious selling point of this chassis is looks. Nowhere else will you find a chassis of this shape in combination with the quality Lian Li delivers. Once you know to appreciate that, you will have to ask yourself if the price tag is worth it, as you are definitely paying for that aspect of the chassis as well. In terms of functionality, the PC-U6 does not disappoint either, being able to swallow up to five hard drives and long graphics cards.
My biggest gripes with the chassis are twofold: Lian Li should have included a card reader in the chassis as there is simply no way to add one yourself due to the lack of an additional drive bay. The second is the fact that the PSU bay - at least in our sample - was so tight, that I had to beat the thing into the bay. This may have only been an issue with this one case, but it should be mentioned nonetheless.
So where does this leave the PC-U6? Well, if you do not want to have a square box next to your TV, under your desk or in the reception area - this is your case, hands down. It would be a shame to hide such a chassis, as it would be like having the statue of David and packing it into a (big) closet. In the end, if the unique looks is what you want, there is simply no other case out there that will match the PC-U6 and it does deliver a good general user experience - for a price premium though. Who said good art has ever been cheap?
