At Computex 2026, LIAN LI launched a barrage of new cases, including some that were previously teased at CES earlier this year.
LANCOOL 4 Solves The Front Glass Panel Airflow Problem
The LANCOOL 4 aims to solve the classic problem with cases that have a front glass panel: airflow. Usually, companies try to work around the suffocating effect that the glass panel has on the front fans by spacing out the fans and the panel. This gives the fans enough room to generate static pressure, and then adding vents or perforations on the side gives fresh air a path to enter the case.
This approach is a lot better than allowing the fans to be suffocated by a glass panel, but it has its drawbacks. For one, the extra spacing required to give the fans room to generate pressure adds unnecessary length to the case, which can make the proportions awkward. Additionally, this method still isn't as efficient for airflow as a typical mesh front panel.
LIAN LI has come up with an ingenious solution to this issue with the LANCOOL 4, a way to have a front glass panel and airflow rivaling a mesh front panel at the same time. They've taken a curved front glass panel and added cutouts for the three pre-installed 140mm fans, with mesh dust filters on top, to arrive at something between a mesh front panel and a glass one. The case also has a tempered glass back panel for that wraparound glass look with the curved front panel. Additionally, the power supply chamber is modular and can be configured with an 8.8" LCD, additional hard drive mounts, or angled fans for extra GPU airflow.
In terms of pricing and availability, the case will launch somewhere in Q3 2026, with an MSRP of $129.99. Given the triple glass panels, extreme modularity, and novel solution to airflow, I'd say the pricing seems pretty fair on this case.
The O11 Lineup Gets Two New Variants, O11D EVO RGB V2 And O11 VISION-M Digital
LIAN LI's long-running and highly popular O11 lineup has two new additions, the EVO RGB V2 and the VISION-M digital.
The Vision-M Digital is mATX case with a pretty unique dual-chamber layout. Up top, you have a chamber for up to a 360mm radiator, which also features a 9.2" LCD. Once again, you get tempered glass on the front, side, and top.
The rear chamber also gets a pre-installed 140mm fan. In terms of AIO support, the dedicated chamber doesn't limit you much, with support for up to a 360mm radiator at up to 57mm thick. This variant of the O11 will be available in either black or white, at a price of $129.99 (which includes the 9.2" screen).
The O11D EVO RGB V2 is the successor to the highly popular O11D EVO RGB, and improves upon it in several key areas. It adds a dedicated side chamber for AIOs, adjustable motherboard tray with reverse connector support, and angled bottom fan mounts to improve GPU airflow.
With an estimated launch date of Q4 2026, this case is set to hit the market at $169, which firmly puts it into high-end territory. Given the strong feature set of the original EVO RGB and the significant improvements the V2 offers, I think this price could work, but it's definitely going to be up against some stiff competition.
V2000 Workstation Case Supports Up To Dual Quad-Slot GPUs, AI Bros' Dream
Next up we have the gargantuan V2000 workstation case. With 8 expansion slots available for GPUs, this tower supports up to dual quad-slot GPUs, and in fact LIAN LI's showcase build had just that, with a quad slot 5090 and a quad slot 5080 installed together.
The case also supports dual PSUs, to keep all your GPUs (or other PCIe add-on cards) well fed. There's a digital readout for metrics like CPU and GPU temps on the front panel, which feels like a throwback to some retro cases. Another retro throwback is the side mounting bracket for up to 6 HDDs (the showcase build populated this instead with some exhaust fans).
The case also has support for 'Omni' wheels, and supports radiators up to 420mm. In terms of pricing and availability, it should go on sale around Q3 2026, at a price of $239.99.
LANCOOL 207XL Has A Party Trick Up Its Sleeve
Rounding out the list of cases, we have some more budget oriented options. Starting with the understated and classy LANCOOL 207XL, it's an upsized version of the midsized LANCOOL 207, with a bump up to dual 170mm fans in front over the standard variant's dual 140mm fans.
The styling is also changed compared to the standard version, with slatting over the front panel imparting an elegant, almost business-like look. What appears to be additional slatting over the bottom chamber are actually ventilation slits for the 207XL's party trick: the cross-flow, 'double barrel' fans that run along the whole bottom of the case. These take air in from the side and direct it upwards to the GPU, providing additional airflow in a pretty unique way. The LANCOOL 207XL will be available around the end of the year, at a price of $109.99.
UX100 Targets The Heart Of The Case Market
The UX100 is LIAN LI's contender for perhaps the most competitive segment of the case market right now: the sub $100 'fishtank' style case.
In what was probably LIAN LI's most unique looking case this year at Computex, the UX100 features a 'floating' main chamber design, with wraparound glass completing the fishtank aesthetic. You also get a glass rear panel, a common theme with LIAN LI this year, and RGB strips all around, including an RGB strip in the recess under the front panel.
Given all the RGB and glass you get with this case, the $99.99 price tag seems like an absolute bargain. This case will be launching in Q3 2026.
B4-MATX Offers SFF Enthusiasts A Way To Skip The ITX Tax
Probably my personal favorite from LIAN LI this year, the B4-MATX is a compact 21.3L case that comes in two different variants, mesh and wood.
Despite being only 21.3L, this case supports full-length ATX PSUs, a 360mm AIO, and up to 358mm long GPUs. It can be used in both horizontal and vertical orientations, with an optional 'AeroDeck' accessory that improves airflow in the latter configuration.
Pricing for this case looks to be highly competitive, starting at $69.99 for the Mesh Black and topping out at $89.99 for the Wood White spec. The case should be available starting from June 26. That covers it for LIAN LI's case launches at Computex 2026, and I have to say, they definitely brought their A-game this time.
