I Think I Just Found My Next Case

Its even supposed to be cheap!

 

[guitarslingerchris]

Some things I'd just like to have screwed down anyways like the PSU, but that case still looks really nice.

 

[Corporate Thug]

same tool free design they used on the Lian Li PC80

Wow, that's about the first toolless card holders I've seen that might actually be worth a damn! What is it anyways about being "toolless" that make people pitch a tent?

 

[faxon]

if you take your system apart often enough, even if only partially, it saves a ton of time and hastle vs having to unscrew everything every single time. that and i have had issues in the past with low quality screws breaking off midway out of things like hard drives and what not, which really sucks because it's a major pain in the ass to re-drill the mounting holes, let alone re-thread them. generally once they have been re-drilled i try to find a tool free drive bay to put it in somewhere in my collection of cases lol

 

[daw123]

Nice looking case.

I agree with guitarslingerchris that I do not want a tool-less bracket holding the PSU in place (unless of course the PSU is screwed to the removable panel fixed to the back of the case??).

 

[Tullphan]

Pretty decent looking case...curious to see what the MSRP will be.

 

[dawgtuff]

Tullphan- I think he said $60-70.

 

[fffblackmage]

wow, $60-70 would be cheap for a case with those toolless features. The case look pretty nice too.

Oooo...that'll teach me to watch a video w/the sound off! hehehe

 

[Tullphan]

Resurrecting an older post...did I also miss when this case is going to be available??

 

[Eureka]

Yeah... that looks pretty interesting... I'd like to know when it'll be out. And its nice... its a Lian-Li case that isn't square!

You must have missed this case.

 

[aigomorla]

its funny..

a while back ago, the term LAN was a term used by geeks to represent connecting 1 computer to another.

So we'd use lanning term.

Now it seems to be spamed all over the gamer world.
If you think about it.. the word, LANCOOL itself makes no sense...
LanParty for motherboards, and even gaming sound cards try to squeeze the word lan in somewhere....

I wonder how much longer its gonna take for LAN to be more associated with gaming instead of networking.

I've heard xbox users call going over to someone's house and playing Halo on splitscreen a "lan party" so I would say the term has already lost most of its meaning

 

[MagickMan]

I'm waiting for this one, have CC in hand and ready.

 

[ghitz]

A lot of plastic now added to these new Lancool cases, I personally don't like that.

How a company can go from a plain, simple design to something like that is beyond me!
It's like going from one extreme to the other!

*UPDATE*
The LanCool PC-K62 has finally arrived at Newegg!!

 

[prochobo]

Heh, I had a feeling it would be much higher than $60-70. No way is a Lian-Li of this caliber going to be merely $60. Great toolless design, fine by me as long as the clamping mechanisms are metal and not plastic.

 

[Tullphan]

This is the high-end version of the release of the PC-K56, 58, 60 & 62 series.
Perhaps the PC-K56 will sell for that price range.
I'm pretty sure the clamping mechanisms are indeed metal.

 

[sticks435]

He's a video review of the 60 from Bill from mnpctech and Nate from Custompcmax.

In short, thier only con was that the inside wasn't black.

 

[Tullphan]

If one wishes a black interior, one must go with the PC-K62.

Antec P193 looks a little more to my liking. http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16811129062

but considering the price of the Antec, that looks like a good deal.
