omg we HAVE to get a review sample.

DOUG! DOUG! ;D

[Thrax]

WTF? So ****ing disgusting.

[TheBaron]

im confused as to the significance of the number 6

that IS a 6 right?

[sfleuriet]

thats pretty cool - looks like a snail

[Mt_Goat]

I think it's supposed to look like a turbo-charger or an acceleration pump. What ever it is it's double butt ugly!
thats pretty cool - looks like a snail
That's a sure way to appeal to the enthsiast market! ;D

[Gargoyle]

Looks like a cephalopod. For the money that thing must cost, I think I'd rather get an Ammonite fossil of the same size. Kudos for creativity, but I won't buy one.

I don't think its butt ugly? Then again consider I also raise Newfoundland dogs which can sling 10" long pieces or dog slobber onto the ceiling when they shake their heads so take that recomendation with a grain of salt.

at first site I thought it looked like a squirrel cage fan...then a snail...then.....uglyness. pure uglyness in its purest form. I'll take my 12 year old beige case that im remodeling right now over that expensive Pos anyday. cant wait till my case is done. first it had a Pentium 233 then a P3 600 and now my present system. finaly decided it was time to make it look better. Im also upgrading my system. I'll put up a thread when all the mods are done

[MAGIC]

garbage, worst thing since anything thermaltake has ever made

[sfleuriet]

hey now!!! easy on the ttake bashing... :mad:

[entropy]

My brother showed this to me the other day. The first thing I thought was, "The Golden Ratio." The Greeks figured it out and used it in most of their work. It was lost when Greece fell, but da Vinci later used it in his paintings.

Geometrically, it can be defined as the ratio obtained if a line is divided so that the length of the shorter segment is in the same proportion to that of the longer segment as the length of the longer segment is to the entire line.

The nautilus, however (which is what that shape is... sorta), is the spitting image of that pattern in some geometrical way. It's also extremely common in nature, like how leaves are spaced apart, and tons of other things. It was mentioned a lot in The DaVinci Code. [/geek]

My guess is they're playing on that idea, the "perfect case," to an extreme level. I agree, though - freakin' ugly. Cool concept (instead of just a box), but ugly.

Edit:
Ok, the number is 1.618054. Here's a lot of information about the nautilus and Phi, if anyone's interested: http://www.gi.alaska.edu/ScienceForum/ASF7/716.html

So there's your little math lesson for today ;D

[sfleuriet]

wow entropy. yes that did call for the tags

[Gobbles]

If the fans are placed right you could do some neat stuff with airflow patterns, get a nice swirling effect going in it, which in itself is not beneficial but neat.

Id use it if they changed the base. The flat metal base makes it look dorky to me.

[TheSmJ]

LOL. If you ever get to review one Brian, lemme know cause I want to look at it too.

[Aranyic]

I actually kinda like it, it's cool that they are doing something different.

[GooD]

I've buy a v2000 and this thing don't make me regret it ;D

Looks funny, but that's all... i don't want a computer case that looks 'funny', i want one that looks nice&sweet... and for my case with the v2000, HUGE ! ;)

btw, yes it's cool to see that lian li is 'trying' different things... Even if some of them are weird :wtf:

[lemonlime]

Yikes, can't say I like it.. Lian Li should stick to the georgeous (and functional) traditional styles they are known for. That thing probably costs a fortune too.

[Rob]

I kinda liked it.... :scratch:

wow yeah you're v2000 is really nice. Really expensive though at $235

yeah I kinda like it too. It has an original design to it, so obviously you'd have a case like nobody else's! I wouldn't mind having that.

Wana see expensive try to buy it in canada you can't find one for less then $450cnd.

[Buddy J]

I kinda like it. Prolly wouldn't buy one, but I'd love to see it in person. SM must review this case!

Lets hope it's not a sign of a downward "spiral" for Lian Li.

ba-dum-ching!

Imagine trying to move that behemoth to a LAN party :eek:

[sfleuriet]

yeah i think it would be better without that bottom metal plate. it looks gay with that

[Gobbles]

Imagine trying to move that behemoth to a LAN party :eek:

its all aluminum. It weights in about about 10 pounds empty. Ive never built a lian li box that, even fully loaded with crap, weighted half as much as a steel case. We built this one and fully loaded I could carry it with 1 arm.

[airbornflght]

like i said earlier ugliness in its pure form... :wtf: I dont even know if a mother could love this case

[sfleuriet]

what is that supposed to mean?? :scratch:

[MAGIC]

what is that supposed to mean?? :scratch:
it looks wack... :wtf:

[redchief]

an opportunity to think ouside of the box.

[airbornflght]

lets just say that it is VERY unconventional and well...thats not the good kind of unconventional. I think it is ugly...not much more to say. and by saying not even a mother could love it, is saying something.... :shakehead

[Leonardo]

im confused as to the significance of the number 6

that IS a 6 right? It's a big aluminum snail with three mouths!

[profdlp]

Nice work, Gargoyle! ;D

[sfleuriet]

omg haha :cool:

[csimon]

I'm curious to see if it cools any better than one of the other value plus cases. Lian Li has hopefully sacrificed cosmetics for function with this box. I admire the mathematical theme of the case for what it is. If it's function surpases everything else that lian li has to offer then if should make a great collectible. It might even go great with the new desk they tout.

When I first saw the case I was intrigued and thought of the archimedian spiral. Quite possible archimedes would be among the few to admire it's appearance. Logarithmic spiral, involute of a circle or nautalis ...berhaps better left in the box. ;D

[lemonlime]

lmao ;D

[csimon]

lmao ;D
I know ...I think it's the funniest thing I've seen since the oversize turbine jet engine heatsinkfan. ;D
Great job gargoyle! :thumbsup:

[Gargoyle]

Thanks guys! Had fun chopping it :thumbsup:
