Provider:  Lian Li
Manufacturer:  Lian Li






Elegance of Design Inside:

Taking off the side panels the view inside the PC-88 is just as good as the outside. This case was designed with ease of installation and usability in mind. What is really amazing is that the PC-888 manages to combine usability with fluid design curves and a beautiful internal layout. Two features which usually do not come together well.

From a Usability Standpoint:

  • Room for 4 hard drives
  • Quick release for hard drives.
  • Centralized hard drive mounting system with SATA cable management.
  • Cable management that routes cables right where you need them.
  • All fans equipped with fan guards.
  • Fan speed controller for 4 total fans.
  • Ventilated bay drive panels for greater airflow.
  • Easy access to all screw holes.
  • Cable management covers and retention brackets use thumbscrews.
  • Side panels utilize seals for light and airflow.
  • Hard drive bays with airflow holes.
  • Motherboard tray has open hole for CPU mounting area.

From a Design Standpoint:

  • Blue Lian Li anodized and stamped hard drive rails.
  • Side mounted hard drives.
  • Unique curved case structure with staggered fan mounts.
  • Optical drives utilize hinged aluminum blue anodized face plates.
  • Compartmentalized internal layout with centered structure.
  • PSU mounting compartment includes oversized panel to hide messy cables.
  • Side panel with beveled, thick, and well mounted window.

 

Summary:

The PC-888 is not only designed to be a functional extension of your system allowing for maximum use of all the capabilities of your motherboard and peripherals but also pleasing to the eye. Easily befitting the ultimate gaming machine or as a centerpiece of a media center the PC-888 is sure to start conversations and spark envy. We have tested many cases and the PC-888 was by far the easiest to work with and provided for the fastest install in the desktop class.
