Lian Li is launching a new series of open-air wall-mountable chassis that are designed to let system builders show off their creations. The O series will feature four models catered to different enthusiastic segments, with all models featuring a similar design aesthetic that includes oversized tempered glass windows.
The mini-ITX PC-O5, the mini-ITX PC-O5S, the micro-ATX PC-O6S, and the ATX PC-O7 all boast an aluminium construction and come with a similar feature-set. An included PCI riser card and extension allows users to install video cards parallel to the motherboard, a design choice that has been undertaken to ensure that the chassis retains its sleek design. The dedicated hard drive cage is hidden by an anodized aluminum shield, and users can also install drives directly onto the motherboard tray, or on a removable bracket behind the motherboard. All cases come with more than sufficient hard drive slots.
The PC-O5S, PC-O6S, and PC-O7S come with the ability to accommodate AIO liquid coolers, as denoted by the “S” at the end of their model numbers. The PC-O5S can accommodate radiators 240mm in size, while the 06S and 07S can fit in radiators 360mm in size.
Versatility is one of the key features of the O series, with Lian Li stating that these enclosures can be mounted on a wall, placed vertically on a desk using the included aluminum stand or arranged horizontally.
Lian Li has announced that the O series will be making its debut in the US in February, where the PC-O5 is set to retail for $289. The PC-O5S will set users back $319, and the PC-O6S will be available for $379. The PC-O7S is the costliest of the lot at $419.
