PC chassis specialist Lian Li has today announced that it has launched its O Series in the UK. The 'O' stands for open with four "sleek open-air aluminium chassis with large tempered glass windows," announced by the firm, in total. While designed for wall mounting these chassis can also be utilised vertically or horizontally on your desk thanks to a grip stand or attachable feet provided, respectively.

All the O Series chassis are wall mountable and range from the mini-ITX PC-O5 and the mini-ITX PC-O5S, to the micro-ATX PC-O6S, and the ATX PC-O7S. Thanks to the large oversized tempered glass windows you can show off your PC internal hardware with aplomb.

We are told that the graphics card installed will run parallel to the motherboard thanks to a custom PCI riser card and extension. This design choice keeps the chassis slim and enhances the view through its window. Black aluminium internal construction provides a "super clean look," to the finished build.

The O Series chassis all offer flexible storage mounting options. For instance users can mount their storage devices in a black anodised cage, beneath an anodised shield, directly on the motherboard tray or even below it in a removable bracket.

Lian Li's new O Series with an 'S' suffix are compatible with AIO water cooling systems. While the mini-ITX PC-O5S can fit a radiator as large as 240mm the larger PC-O6S and PC-O7S systems support 360mm radiators.

As with many Lian Li products the suggested pricing points, listed below, entrench the O Series firmly at the premium end of the PC chassis market. We are told that the range will be available "soon" at CaseKing. Click on the links below to read the individual specifications of the O Series.

Actually, I kinda like them….!!
I like the idea, but I do have a concern on their PCI-E extension; it's a ribbon cable that is quite long as it wraps around behind the card in order for it to sit with the fans pointing towards the window. I have to wonder what affect that could have on GPU performance?

Also, it's a tad expensive…
Similar to silverstone rvz01, some good differences, some less so.
GPU in the orientation that I would prefer for a case like this, and nice looking glass to show it off. I really like the look of this case, especially after imagining how it would look wall mounted.
A shame it is so big, I really liked the size of the original steam machine - it lacked expandability, but I rarely use more than a single drive in a computer anyway; I would go for a NAS if I ever kept a large amount of digital files.

Hopefully someone makes a smaller case before this, and the Silverstone FTZ01 come out as I do not mind waiting too much.

I'm hoping that silverstone do some tweaking on the ftz01 rather than just making the same case with aluminium panels.
Thumbscrews, removable back panel…
