Lian Li send out word about the PC-O8, a new dual-compartment case that hits retail stores at the end of June for a whopping $375. This aluminium case offers a lot of eye candy with RGB LED lighting and tempered front and side glass panels.

One compartment is for the motherboard and VGA cards and the other one for the storage disks and power supply. The PC-O8 supports an ATX motherboard, eight expansion slots, six 3.5" HDDs and two 2.5" storage disks. There is no support for 5.25" drives. Cooling is provided by up to seven 120mm fans (of which six are included). Alternatively, the case also supports a watercooling radiator of up to 360mm plus a 240mm model.
Lian-Li Industrial Co. Ltd today launches the PC-O8 dual-compartment chassis. Comprised of aluminum and tempered glass, the PC-O8 allows DIY builders to show off their high-end, intricate setups, while hiding cables and less eye catching components in the large compartment behind the motherboard tray.

Two Compartments
Through the front glass panel, the PC-O8 is divided into two zones. Zone 1 allows DIY enthusiasts to show off their motherboard and graphics cards through the edge-to-edge side panel windows. On the other side of the motherboard tray, Zone 2 gives plenty of room for cables and less eye-catching components such as hard drives and the power supply.

Adjustable RGB Interior Lighting
DIY enthusiasts can adjust the interior lighting through the included RGB lighting kit complete with LED strips, cord clip, dimmer and controller. The back mounted controller allows instant analog color selection.

Tremendous Water Cooling Support
With plenty of room to work with, installing elaborate water cooling setups is simplified in the PC-O8. In Zone 1 the top panel can support a 240mm radiator, while in Zone 2 the front intake can house a 360mm radiator in a push/pull configuration.

Modular Hard Drive Cage
The PC-O8 chassis supports up to six 3.5? drives and two 2.5? drives in the removable drive cage in Zone 2. This HDD cage is actively cooled via two mounted 120mm fans.

Tool-Less Installations and Features
The PC-O8 has many tool-less features allowing for simple setups and installations. This aluminum and tempered glass chassis features easily-removable panels, tool-less mounting for hard drives as well as slide-in dust filters.

Versatile Cable Management Design
Clamps on the reverse side of the motherboard tray can be adjusted and positioned for optimal cable management setups.

Hardware Capability
The PC-O8 does not restrict hardware capability. Graphics cards up to 370mm (14.5”) and CPU coolers up to 170mm (6.7”) are supported. Additionally, PSUs of all sizes are supported with clearance of 298mm (11.7”).

Connectivity
The top I/O panel includes four USB 3.0 ports and HD audio connections.

Price and Availability
The PC-O8 will be available at the end of June at Microcenter for the suggested retail price of USD 395.
