Lian Li Showcases Funky Hybrid PC Case/Desk

We’ve seen our share of wild chassis designs, and Lian Li is giving the world another with the DK01, which is a chassis that serves double duty as a PC case and a desk, which brings new meaning to the phrase, “sitting at your computer”.

The funky DK01 looks like a brushed-metal chassis turned on its side and mounted on legs and the surface is a solid piece of tempered glass. The power button and some USB 3.0 ports and audio jacks are on the front side of the case, to the right of where the user would sit. It’s unclear where the rear I/O ports are stashed.

The DK01 seems like a brilliant DIY mod, but Lian Li has applied its spit and polish to the idea which we kind of like even though we can’t think of too many practical uses for it.

Lian Li also announced the PC-A51 chassis, which was built after the company allowed the community to collaborate on design ideas.
