Lian Li has launched "a hellish beast onto the enthusiast PC market" to coincide with Halloween. Of course it's a brushed aluminium PC chassis… However the PC-D666 is an interesting double wide chassis with a red and black aesthetic. One half of the system is designed to fit a full EATX/ATX 'workhorse' system whilst in the other a Micro-ATX/Mini-ITX 'gaming' system could be configured, suggests the firm.
The two systems are separated into left and right sections. As you look at the system from the front, the left side is the full EATX/ATX 'workhorse' system and the right houses the Micro-ATX/Mini-ITX 'gaming' system. Both sides of the system contain acrylic windows to show off your build and there are independent power, reset, USB and audio I/O on the front panels.
The back of the system is similarly divided with separate expansion slots, PSU and cooling fans. The top and bottom of the PC-D666 also offer a degree of similarity and symmetry. However the fronts are quite different as Lian Li has situated all the filtered cool air intake perforations and fans on the left and the HDD rack system on the right.

The Lian Li PC-D666 offers extensive water cooling support including the ability to fit radiatiators as big as 480mm. The removable drive cages are hot swappable. Most of the build operations are tool-less as the case sides and front pop off, meanwhile hard drives and dust filters can be installed and removed easily thanks to thumbscrew and magnetic attachments.
Lian Li says that this chassis was designed in collaboration with Germany's PC Welt magazine as the 'Hell Machine 6' ultimate dual-system PC project. Pricing and availability details have not been supplied.
