Lian Li Launches Special Edition PC-U6 Cowry Mid-Tower Chassis

Lian Li Industrial today launched the all-new and stylish special edition PC-U6 Cowry, an all-black PC case designed after a seashell. As you can guess, Cowry is not meant to be hidden under a desk but demonstrated to all instead.

PC-U6 Cowry can hold three 3.5" and two 2.5" internal HDDs. All HDD mounts are tool-less and come with anti-vibration thumb screws with rubber suspension. Externally, one 5.25" ODD tool-less mount is located at the top of the front panel. Four ventilated PCI slots are located on the back panel with enough space to mount graphics cards as long as 310 mm.



The enclosure supports Micro-ATX or Mini-ITX motherboards and standard ATX PS/2 power supply units mounted at the base of the case right above ventilating holes protected by a washable air filter.

The novelty is thermally-optimized as well. It comes with two side panel 120-mm fans protected by washable air filters. A fan speed control-switch has been included as well. To further aid airflow, designers have incorporated ventilation holes on the front and rear panels of PC-U6 Cowry and both are protected by washable air filters. Two rubber-ringed holes are also included for users to be able to easily mount a liquid cooling system.

This special edition PC case comes with two USB 3.0 ports, one e-SATA port, and HD audio ports. All are located at the base of the front panel. Also included is one USB 3.0 to USB 2.0 converter.



Lian Li has also included cable clamps and openings throughout the case to aid in the internal organization of user computers. Moreover, for users who wish to add some color to highlight the uniqueness of this case, a 530-mm red LED kit is included.

The special edition, all-aluminum, PC-U6 weighs 4.5 kg and is sized 219 x 500 x 410 mm.

Style does not come cheap these days (or ever): the MSRP of PC-U6 is $349. The new enclosure will become available later this May.
