its clean, simple, and it performs. i think the biggest reason y it didnt cool as much as expected was due to the metal mesh in the front panel. nothing that a dremel cant fix :P its solid black, and its, well, solid. not a bad price either.
if i need another case, i definitely pick this one up. and start cutting holes left n right to make it even sweeter
I don't suppose there's a hint as to the price is there? I need something I can bung loads of harddrives in, and with two 120's they should stay cool, but it just needs to be cheap...
The Lancool brand is there to distingush between the all aluminium lian li cases and the steel chassis/aluminium exterior Tpanels of the new sub brand, and s the article isn't explicit about the difference between a lian li and a lancool, mentioning the brushed aluminium outer shell, and light weight may lead some people to assume a similar all aluminium construction to its parent brand.
Nice article though on a promising looking case if the price is right (read cheap )
I've got to love how you guys go on about it having a "great wire management system".... then just not use it at all. Eh, there's only so many hours in the reviewing day, I suppose.

I love Engrish. This link is an advert site for the case and it does not ease up on the Engrish.
Checkout the 'optional extras'
The Thermometer and Card reader are just lian-li items. You can even still see the logo.

Haha, Futurama jokes aside the case does look quite nice. It kinda looks like the younger brother of the Lian-Li PC-A70b (catchy name innit? see here if you don't know the case in question: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112141&Tpk=pc%2ba70b )
I've been wanting an A70b for a while now but 250$ is a bit steep, well that and I'm having trouble justifying the full tower when I'm not running any sort of extreme serverish set up, I'll definitely try and look in to the K7 when it becomes available.

so they can still sell their big towers, just a guess though, have a look at the pc-a77, in my opinion the best case ever (even beating g70 and tj07).
theres also a a77 variant with a door thats been shown on some lian li parts brochures, but a quick google doesn't come up with anything. From memory its a four digit number but that doesn't really help :)

you probably mean this one, well, it got sata hotswap which means an extra pcb in the front, so you can just go and put a tripple rad there, but if you need sata hotswap it certainly makes a good choice.
No, the one I saw had the same 12x5.25 chassis, just with an added door much like the v2110 to the v2010, It appealed to me as it looked to have the fluxibility for dual 120.3 rads (one front mounted, and another top mounted) whilst maintaining a clean simple look. Its certainly not on the lian li website yet and I've yet to see it for sale, but hopefully it won't be too far away.

But i do have to say the MS Wordart on the front page of their website is a little off putting, i thought people were over that way back in '95.
ANy more than that and I'll stick with my cheapo special.
Its calling to me and i need to get one for my headless Media Server / router.
Silly name tho :p hehe....boned
Nice though.

Looks ridiculously similar to the Lian-Li PC-A06:
