Whether this gem is as sexy as
OrigenAE's LCD-equipped chassis is certainly debatable, but there's no denying at least some level of hotness here. The towering Tyr X2000 enclosure was designed to keep your gaming / HTPC components safe and net favorable glances from those privileged enough to enter your abode. The unique design enables owners to access optical / hard drives from the sides, and there's plenty of room to store those
Family Guy re-runs with six hot-swappable RAID SATA bays. You'll also find a few more absurd specifications such as room for eight PCI cards, enough fans to cool a small dorm room and support for a water cooling system. Mum's the word on pricing, but c'mon, you can't look at this thing and honestly believe it'll be anything near cheap.

Is it sad that I get turned on by a computer case as much as I do a good-looking femaile?
Here's a test: when I say, "Check out that nice rack!", do you think of the slide-in sata rack in this case?
I do, and it's a bit disturbing.
Yes, but it's even sadder that you can't spell "female".
Man that thing looks insanely tall! or is it just me?? nachos and cheese!! lol just being random >_>
No. That's nacho cheese man, so lay off it.
Hiya Jesse. I'm the man that killed Mommy and made her skin into a hat. I'm coming over now.
Has no one seen that copypasta before?
It is so incredibly stale...
Definitely a thing of beauty!
sexy! I need one now.
in the 80s computers were freaking huge. in the 90s they got small (later 90s) now it seems bigger is the new trend again..
i have a p-180 and that thing is a tank.. can't stand it.. give me back my gateway-350.
i blame it on the huge heat sink and fans that are required to cool down today's cpu's and gpu's come on guys lets think cooler processors for a while.
Actually, heat from processors is the main reason they aren't smaller and faster than they are now. I'm pretty sure they are doing everything they can about heat generation. That's why today's computers need so much cooling. The more transistors you cram on a chip, the more heat they make, and the more cooling you need. The only way to make them smaller now is come up with a new technology.
Well, that puts my Armor+ case to shame.
At least I know what case to use for my future Nehalem build :]
me likey.
Oooooh that looks classy! Possibly on the big side, but it's hard to tell from those angles...
Beautiful, but it looks like it will be expen$ive with all of those details. here's hoping its not.
Don't hope too much, it's Lian-Li after all.
oh-my-gawd.
me likey too.
do they fit long vga cards tho? hmmmm
I love my current Lian Li case. My next case will definitely be another.
And WOW, this thing is a work of art. Do want!
Man is that thing competing with the Burj Dubai for highest artificial structure? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/be/Burj_Dubai.jpg
If it's under $500, I'll definitely consider it.
Here's a video for the case: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brfrZB_uOgY
Ok it looks good and it has really nice features but it's a little bit too big
It's not much bigger than your standard full tower case.
Its exactly the kind of case im looking for... and i bet the price is gonna be what im not looking for :P
WOW and AWWWWWWWWWW...
One problem with the easy SATA connection is that it won't work with the new 300GB WD Raptor since it's actually a 2.5" drive and the connector position doesn't match.
doesn't look as nice as the Mac Pro..
sry for incorporating Apple...
I knew someone would though...
i'm not sure, but i think you suck. oh wait, yeah i'm sure.
That's a beautiful tower. The only downside (apart from size and cost, but those are a given for Lian-Li) is that it is incompatible with the WD Velociraptor drive.
That's what SHE said :)
PC-X200 is 680mm the PC-X500 is a bit smaller at 585mm- that's over two feet so that thing is a behemoth but I still want one. No velociraptor support is a big ding though.
See, now that's how you do a gaming case. Not like those atrocities from alienware and voodoo and what not.
I am now a Lian-Li fanboy, and I will buy this no matter what it costs.
Those hard drive caddies alone are drool worthy. Really reduces the chances of an accidental disconnect like I've seen so often with SATA connectors.
Almost enough to have me switch from my Stacker. Maybe my next rig I'll go Lian Li.
orgasmic
Lovely case, but not ideal for HTPC purposes in my opinion due to the size of it. I still prefer either Origen or Zalman cases for Media Centre purposes. Some good examples on http://www.aonhomedigital.co.uk.
Also, unfortunately, I find Lian-Li quite hard to come by in the UK.
