Lian-Li Desk PC Cases Finalized: Augmented Furniture

Posted on by

Lian-Li have finally released the consumer versions of its computer chassis desk. It’s called the DK series and has three variants. The DK-01 can house up to an HPTX system, while the DK-02 has enough room for two systems, one up to HPTX and a secondary mini-ITX rig. Finally, the DK-Q1 is a smaller version of the DK-01.

All three cases will let you admire your computer’s hardware through their tempered glass desktop. You can either remove the glass or pull the main drawer to inspect or swap parts. Check out the video below for more on the DK-01 and the DK-02.

As you may have guessed, these multipurpose and gimmicky cases will be expensive. On its Facebook page, Lian-Li said that the DK-01 will sell for $989 (USD), while the DK-02 will cost $1,189, but has not yet provided a US release date. The cases will be released in the EU region this August for €749 and €899 respectively. No word on the DK-Q1′s pricing and release yet.

Posted on by

We’ve featured a couple of PC casemods that incorporated a computer’s hardware into a desk. If Lian-Li pushes through with its prototype, you won’t need to be a modder to have a desk and PC case in one.

The DK01 is basically a tower case with legs. It has all of the features of an enthusiast PC chassis, including LEDs, a transparent glass panel and tool-less mounting. Lian-Li also said that the monitor mount shown in the image above will be included with the desk if it goes into production.

NZXT hosts rave in your PC case, charges $33 for entry

You've got the music, the air conditioning, and the chemicals. All you need now is Hue -- an RGB case light controller from NZXT that fills up a spare drive bay with dials to set the color, brightness and pulsation of a bundled two-meter, 24-LED light strip. Fake some ID, hand over $33 and reach for the lasers.

Lian-Li designs a moving train PC case, makes plugging in a challenge (video)

Lian-Li is a fan of odd-looking PC cases, but the boxes have usually had a tendency to remain stationary. The CK-101 takes away that one certainty: the design stuffs a fully functioning PC case with hard drive bays, a slim optical drive and USB 3.0 ports into an on-the-move model of a steam engine train. There's more than a few questions about how it works -- including whether or not it needs a battery to stay rolling, and just what's generating the 'steam' -- but it's already apparent from the video (below) that wired peripherals won't be much fun if you're chasing your computer down the tracks. There's a chance that Lian-Li will be selling a considerably more fixed-in-place version; we'll know more when the CK-101 is shown off at Computex in early June, where there will also be a show-specific, SUV-like Q15 case to sate your appetite for very literal car computers.
