In one of the lower level halls at the very back of a large room in the Las Vegas Convention Center was the Lian Li booth, where the company unveiled a new line of PC chasses set to be released later this quarter.

In November, the company introduced the PC-O10, a streamlined modern mid-tower case featuring a slimmer profile than the PC-O9 and PC-O8. In December, the company then introduced the PC-O10WX with a slightly smaller profile (19.17 vs 19.40 inches tall, 9.33 vs 9.52 inches deep). The case is now available for $249.99, but the company did not hesitate to present one at CES with a fully modded PC assembly sitting inside.

The other fully modded case on display included the PC-O11 with triple fans at the top and enough room for a full CPU, memory and GPU liquid cooling configuration.

It can accommodate an E-ATX motherboard, up to 5.12 inches of heatsink clearance and up to 13.4-inches of GPU clearance, and includes four 3.5-inch HDD bays, three 2.5-inch HDD bays and seven expansion slots. The front panel includes two USB 3.0 headers and an HD audio header.
