Do we build computers in the fossilized remains of prehistoric snails now? Apparently Lian-Li thinks we should. Look at this monstrosity!

That is horrible....

Old post. But anyways its not designed to be a replacement for the comon computer case. Its not suposed to be comon at all. Its a special celebration of their aniversiary that only a few people will ever have/see in real life. its meant to be different.
I kinda like it though its creative but still keeps Lian-Li's sleek industrial style going.

Well, no ones perfect

roadkill
Yeah, I posted it a while ago when it came out, I too almost barfed when I saw it, and I stll might. I am truly disipointed in lian li, this and the half black anodized nad half silver anoidized case.. forgot what it was called, but holy crap two bad cases in a row?
KillerXtreme
thats not ugly.... thats fugly, FKING UGLY!
Psychotic_god
Beyound the fact that its ugly, Im sure that it makes life a bit harder in terms of modding; no side window, posibility of incompatibility with fans, motherboards, drives, graphic cards (which are all square/rectangular).

WTF!??! What were they thinking?

For people who like crazy modded stuff i'm surprised at the bad reviews you've been giving it. I kind of like it, it's definetly not a boring beige box.

I personnally like the window which i would try to mod a bit.

Wow I guess that makes the 2 of us, I don't think it's THAT bad. I have to admit my 1st reaction was like "OH gosh!" but then after awhile I felt sorry for it, its so different and alone...

so I like if off of pity.

I for one think it's pretty neat. Finally no more of that boring BLAH crap lian-li always puts out.

Yea, they have only been making cases for twenty years. I am SURE they didn't think of that. I mean it is impossible to fit a square inside a much larger spiral shape.
suchuwato
It's in the shape of thier old logo I think, and I don't suppose they'll be expecting to actually sell many, It's just an 'anniversary model'
Hyper Threaded
I sort of like it, at least it's different and it has a lot of room inside, or so it looks. Given the money, I would probably buy one.

Ahh! A snail...

i hate lian-li because their cases are boring, and they only look cool when people mod the hell out of them. At least this is something different.

Um.. don't make me go take a pic of my parents computer. and here is one i found on newegg. Yes it has blue buttons, but's it's still a beige box imo.

[attachmentid=16565]

I agree about Lian Li cases generally being boring. But they also carry a bit of class which is hard to find if you don't want a dragon case or something. Like say in an office setting (because a lot of people are still very traditional).
HoLoDreaM
well.. besides old people and old computers.... NEW cases are no longer beige

I have never been impressed with the cases from lian li. Ive always thought of them to be plain.

A case company that I have been very impressed with and currently own one is from Silverstone http://www.silverstonetek.com

They make wonderfull cases. Some very Innovative cases too.
LoArmistead
I like Lian Li, except for that snail case of course. My favorite case of all time, the CM wavemaster, was actually designed by Lian Li. For some reason Cooler Master uses the design though. Too bad, Lian Li could've made a nice profit off of the wavemaster sales.

Im sure they didnt just give away the design. They are getting something.

I love my Lian-Li case, but Im an old guy who likes clean and simple looking cases. I dont even necessarily like the window in my case. The Lian-Li was great to work with though, and combined with my OCZ Modstream 520w P/s it made cable cleanup easy for me. And I am notoriously lousy at cleaning up cable litter.

This case is so bad it actually hurts my feelings. I know it didint do or say anything to me, but I just feel hurt and betrayed when I see it.....

I know it's weird lookin'

I know I would like to know how well it cools

I know that it has been posted about a couple of times

Here
Savan
ya, its the Lan Li aniversary case, its really ugly, I dont know why they made it. It is the uglyist case Lan Li makes, and thats quite an insult, cuz Lan Li makes some pretty crappy cases
JerrDogg77
i here that
ClayMeow
I'd buy that one before any other Lian-Li case.

but this thread should be locked since it's a dupe.
JerrDogg77
what ever floats the mods boats.
Kash
Lian Li cases without doors seem so plain. Since I don't really have the time or space to mod cases, I need to get one that has a little bit of style to it.
Verran
Yup, this has been posted before, but I'll seize the opportunity to say again that it's fugly. Why on god's green earth would anyone want a case shaped like a snail?

lmao!!
i think very VERY few people will end up with that case due to the extreme uglyness factor..
Nerm
People please stop posting this case. It is so ugly I am starting to get sick. lol tongue.gif

That has got to be the ugliest case in history.
Krazyxazn
hey this is liek the first lian i seen not flat and plain GJ lian. biggrin.gif
DECwakeboarder
lol, withstupid.gif and $300 for that?!?! I'd rather buy a $20 case (one I have now) that looks much better and is more moddable than that POS (granted it is a Lian-Li, so I bet the interior of it is quite nice).

I think the reason they made this was because it was their old logo, or something like that.

Seriously...less than a month (or was it jsut a week or two) since the last post of this hideous thing...then the posts b4 that...

It looks like the after-hours book return thing at the library. Or a trash can.
