New Lian Li case

[twan2128]

I saw this case today on Lian Li's website:
http://www.lian-li.com/v2/en/product/product06.php?pr_index=221&cl_index=1&sc_index=25&ss_index=62

Would anyone happen to know if this case has a slideable motherboard tray or if it is riveted to the case (I don't remember this case being previously announced and doing a search for it does not produce helpful results)? Also, does anyone know when this case will be available?

Yep that ain't coming out, unless your willing to drill those rivets out.

I dont like Lian-Li's website layout.

Yeah.. Lian Li needs to hire me to redo their site. I'll gladly do it in return for a free case.

One thing i have to give Lian Li many props for is their ability to reuse the same basic PC-60 layout for so many years without it becoming "dated". They just pop on a new sleek looking bezel every now and then, tweak the cooling. (Like the transition from 80mm to 120mm fans.), and they have a brand new winner.

I just wish they would come out with a case like this but use the motherboard tray they use in the b25, a16 and a17, as well as others. It seems like the cases I would be interested in (the pc-8, and the a12 to name a couple) all have the riveted motherboard trays, but would be perfect for me with the slideable motherboard tray that they use in the previously mentioned cases.

Does it matter that the sticker on the case says "PC-7 plus"?

Very true. This PC-8 looks like it's just an update to the PC-7 design. Even so, I'd still like one to replace my own PC-7....

I have a PC-B25. The tray does not slide out, it pops out the back. Perhaps this one is the same? It's impossible to tell from outside.

EDIT: From eyeballing it, my PC-B25 has rivets in pretty much the same location as shown in the picture and still has the removable mobo tray.
