hello everybody I'm Dmitry with Hardware Canucks welcome to another CES video I've
just arrived - Lian Li you know meeting up with the people who have designed the
case of the year for 2018 so around on applause here we have their Debauer in the
background it's really cool to get the brief with the people but first huge
thanks to our sponsors Thermaltake Phanteks Corsair Razor and MSI for making this
trip possible alright so the first item on the list is this desk the DK-04-f so
the cool thing about this desk right now is that they have a new liquid crystal
layer applied below the glass so that you can go from foggy to crystal with a
press of a button hey who took the remote where's the remote mint or is it
the oh it's right here
so right now we have this remote but the eventual control will be sort of
integrated into this touch panel that also has some fan control and LEDs that
you'll be able to connect from your main system but check this out boom I hope
that worked yes now it reveals the entire system below it so the desk
itself has not changed much but they did have a new power supply that is sole
purpose is to trigger the crystal rotation because that you know of the
press of button it turns the crystal 90 degrees which is why we can not see them
and see them again and because this crystal layer the actual glass is a
little bit foggy by default so it's not crystal clear but the foggy is the
unique element and that's the original desk it is fully motorized so we have
the control box here we can set four different presets and yeah that is the
dk-04-f take suite so we are of course treated with some beverages here
at Lian Li but Roman here what do you have what type of saying they have in
Germany yeah we say that three beer are also a schnitzel so I would agree all
right the Razer Edition is ready let's go check it out so this is the case of the
year the O11 dynamic razer edition a few changes here are of course the LED
strips on the side spending that entire glass
illuminating that middle Razer logo and this corner edge which looks awesome
they of course have added the neon the standard sort of reference style
illumination under glow for all Razer edition cases obviously all that money
and research and development for the Razer green USB ports have not gone
wasted that is also here and this new sort of coating that is fully black so
if you're going for this whole matte black design and some LED the Razer
Edition 11 dynamic may be your choice and it looks like you know the old
leaven dynamic has been so popular among the water cooling community that ek has
designed their own water block that goes onto this entire front panel and their
multiple cool elements here is because this whole thing is completely
transparent basically which is very difficult to do we also have this
multiple distribution plate so you can see how the liquid goes from one place
to another from your GPU to the CPU and we also have a flow meter and a pump
built-in so a lot of cool things inside this front water block from ek for a
particular for the O11 dynamic Lian Li's also going to be releasing an
all-in-one cooler so this one's different because the pump has been
relocated from your traditional space over here all the way up top where your
reservoir so the pump is stronger which means that you know the flow rate of the
liquid will be higher and therefore performance will be better but the you
know the concern right now is because of this extension so if you populate fans
right here it will cover the whole thing and there's also a bit of length
extension about 30 millimeters but this is what looks like installed inside the
case so if you have the fans pushing air through the radiator it's not really an
issue but what if you mount these fans on the other side then this whole space
becomes a little bit you know awkward but what do you guys think about this
design of course a stronger pump means better performance so yeah we'll see you
when this thing launches and another interesting aesthetic element is this
water block cover so it's magnetic just attaches inside to reveal the ring of
illumination which looks really nice and even and soft and removing it gives us a
little bit more of that if you're into that and then the last two cases are
pretty impressive so this is the tu150 and the slightly
larger 11 ROG edition with a bunch of other model names attached to it but
first let's check out tu150 this really nice compact
ITX enclosure that tries to go ahead after the market who want a handle yet
still have this nice compact element with full graphics card support SFX and
SFX L power supply on the interior and 175
millimeters for CPU tower clearance which is awesome so airflow is kind of
covered because we have either 120 or 140 millimeter fans at the front and
then the rear section as well so airflow will be linear it is Chad you know kind
of targeting towards airflow users air cooling users but you can still maybe do
a 140 120 all-in-one for the front the GPU section we have three slots over
here so that's not really an issue and because the SFX SFX L power supplies are
mounted above that's not really an issue for clearance we also have this low
space beside the motherboard for cable management and a to reveal an SSD which
is cool so there are some visual elements in there and my favorite part
aside from the handle like if that's into you you can remove the top panel
and that is where all your cable management is sort of routed through so
that's a really unique way to hide the cable so they're not behind the case
making it pretty slim and yet gives you you know more channels than normal to
just basically hide everything that you need from the power supply and then
finally we have the O11 ROG certified revision 2 so it's basically the O11
dynamic that's been sort of enlarged both in height and width to support
let's say 120mm fans at the back so that's awesome if you want to have a
little additional airflow over here or installed radiators or fans there the
actual bottom section has been expanded so you can mount a giant radiator in
push-pull situations and the really clever band bracket that is installed
from the case on a little bit of an angle so you don't need to fiddle around
with like trying to insert it from the top that's appreciated in terms of the
rest of the specifications it simply follows the same O11 dynamic Mattel
the motherboard trace like indented so all the rubber grommets are on the sides
for easy cable management they have installed new covers on the side mount
which means that you can either cover them up or for a little SSD action or
open them up for that you know traditional side exhaust the ventilation
design on the top has been changed to kind of complement this whole ROG
direction and in the front we now have additional IO at the bottom so two
additional USB 3 ports alongside that's you know original iOS facing over here
with type C and color combination control for the RG Edition and they're
still kind of debating on where to install the LEDs potentially either at
the bottom or on the side so let us know what you might prefer this is going to
be a premium edition so of $1.99 versus the 129 for the O11 dynamic which means
that the exterior paneling is all going to be aluminum and like steel on the
previous versions and we're gonna have this included vertical GPU brackets so
you can install multiple GPUs vertically and it looks like a robust combination
so you can mount the the whole base to the actual frame and you can even remove
the little piece of the back so that if you do have the card that is closest to
the side panel it's not going to interfere with whatever I oh you're
trying to plug into it so a nice clever design alright guys so that is all from
Lian Li has been great to meet with Roman and look who shows up and gates
very nice that's how you randomly meet here yes at CES all the time little
somewhere but yeah thanks so much for watching
it's great to have these fellows in here and I will see you guys in next video
yeah
