Aluminum cases have exploded onto the markets in a
relatively short period of time and Lian Li certainly has built a name for
themselves where others have tried. The Taiwanese manufacturer offers a
range of cases which appeal to style conscious consumers, or anyone who is
sick of the same old plain beige box.
Their small booth at PCexpo was a testament to just how
far they have come as they showed off a handful of their newest aluminum cases
which drew considerable attention, and crowds. Some of their newer models
included the PC-6089A &PC-6085A shown below, a range of stick on aluminum
covers for CDROMs, a new low profile PC-9300 desktop (second picture below),
aluminum RAID modules, and gigantic aluminum PC-626SCA server cases.
Coolermaster had a similarly sized following at
their booth as they were showcasing not only heatsinks but their high-end line
of aluminum cases.
