Lian Li is combing two centerpieces of the desktop into one clever product: the desk and the case. The DK-04 blends both seamlessly while looking damn slick in the process, as well as offering water cooling and the option for a standing desk setup thanks to adjustable height settings.
You can mount up to eight 2.5'' or 3.5'' drives easily with thumbscrews on the DK-04; support for eight expansion slots and VGA cards up to 320mm in length means just about any graphics configuration is possible; four USB 3.0 ports, HD audio inputs, and an optional lighting kit are located at the front. Anchored cable clips means better organization.
The difficult part to swallow is the $1499 price tag, which will be too much for most.
The DK-04 launches May 10.
