Nice. In some ways similar to the case design I've had rattling around in my head for a while now. I's love to go with a WC double with config for my next system, but I'll have to get a bigger, and stronger desk first.
I am surprised with the waterkit they included. With sutch a big case I thought it would be a really extreme watercooling kit but it isn't that big. Enough room to
do some really cool modding. But the case is al littel bit to big for me.
Maybe it's just me, but what's so special about Lian Li cases? I got one for a build a while ago and it was nothing short of disappointing. Bad layout prevented me from being able to connect wires to the CD drive without cutting off all my fingers first. The metal for the case seemed really thin and made a really loud sort of metallic sound whenever you tap on it from the outside. The fans that came included were extremely loud, and the build quality didn't impress me at all. Granted, I didn't buy one of the really expensive ones, but I got one that was about $90 and received excessively high reviews from everyone on Newegg.
Lian-Li cases (for me at least) are a lot cleaner looking, have better heat dissipation and have excellent build quality compared to any other case I've used.
all this case needs is some flames in the sidepanels....oh wait a minute i just did that :D But seriously the Lian Li cube is a absolutely wonderful case.
I love this case but I love my mountain mods case more however I do see this case being used in a future project or to house my current case build computer parts when they get out dated and I upgrade everything in it and move it over to the lian li.
I do agree with doug comments about Lian Li they are pricely but I think its justified for the quality.
I don't get the point... I'd say the one who pays the 400 for a case like that must have a major fetish on large things. I like the small Lian Lis, but that is simply too freaking large for any purpose! The quality seems to be lianli-grade, but the outlooks.. No no.

"too freaking large for any purpose" Well thats just not true theres alot of users who have 15+ drives and for them this case is great i myself have 12 drives so for me this case is absolutely wonderful. Not to mention all the users who have extreme watercooling or vapochillsystems. This case isnt aimed at the home family pc or the office/surf pc this is aimed at the more extreme user and for that purpose it fits perfectly.

It looks fantastic. I have a YY cube atm and it's just too small so ill be upgrading sometime in the future. I like lots of space for cable routing and airflow.

If I had to do that, I think I'd just get a rack system with a rackable eSATA drive cage.

I think Aqua-PC's has made a good move. Its a case people want, and the water-cooling set-up is easy to use, and pre-installed...
having said that, they do seem a tad expensive.
If you ever get bored with that lasercutter theres room for it here :D

This case came in july (without the WC) http://www.hardware.no/tester/kabinett/lian_li_modular_cube_case/27520
It's actualy a project for microplex, a modular "dream-case"
