Lian Li PC888 is blue and ridic

We stopped by the Lian Li booth to see what they’re working on. The first thing that we immediately noticed is that Lian Li is finally focused on cooling. Whereas their older cases featured fine aesthetics with horrible cooling options (one 80mm fan? I mean, really?), all their new cases are packed with quiet 120mm front and rear fans.

The cases, as can always be expected, are pretty and sturdy. But we were originally drawn to their booth by this amazing/preposterous PC888 case for $640 MSRP:

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS

The massive blue tower is massive and blue. We liked seeing Lian Li branching out into new style areas, and the fit and finish seemed top notch, but I don't think anyone in their right mind will pay MSRP for it. Really Lian Li? $640? Really?

9 Jan 2009 ~ 11:40pm mertesn If each step is a bay, I'd estimate it's about six inches taller than an Antec 1200. In other words, it's not going to fit under your desk. But then cases like this are meant to be in a display case for all to see.
