The brand-new Lian Li Special Edition PC-U6 Cowry mid-tower case doesn’t look like a traditional computer case with straight lines. It looks like a giant snail or seashell measuring 8.6 x 19.68 x 16.14 inches or 219 x 500 x 410 mm (W x H x D) and weighing 9.9 lbs (4.5 kg).
This unusual case supports micro-ATX or mini-ITX motherboards and comes with a 5.25” external bay and three 3.5”/2.5” internal bays, all of them featuring tool-less installation mechanisms. Four expansion slots are located on the rear panel of the case with enough space to hold video cards up to 12.2” (310 mm) long.
The Special Edition PC-U6 Cowry is made from aluminum, its interior and exterior are painted in black, provides two USB 3.0 ports, one eSATA port, two 120 mm fans on the front panel equipped with washable air filters, and holes for liquid cooling systems.
For users who wish to add some color to highlight the uniqueness of this case, a 530 mm red LED kit is included and can be mounted easily.
The PC-U6 Cowry has a recommended price tag of USD 349 and is expected to reach the market by the end of this month.
