The screen is amazing. I'll buy it just for that. Your idea at the end of having the temps and other stats above the components... Head tracking isn't so hard any more, so you could change their position based on your viewing angle, and so you could make a 3D augmented reality view over your PC using Unreal . 3D Tornados over the fans? Sparks flying out when gaming? If you're running on UPS backup, you could show the power supply as being partially full of glowing liquid, with the depth and colour relating to the remaining ups charge.
I don't know how I feel about the front I/O being a hub. On one hand, it's very clean and can give you more ports than your motherboard has support for. On the other hand, it limits bandwidth and leaves headers that you paid for on your board useless.
Man if that OLED panel wasn't so cost prohibitive I would entertain getting several to mount around the room as well. Hopefully this technology comes down in price in a few years. Maybe makes more sense for the DK09? I would've liked to see a KVM mounted in/on this case. I am heavily considering purchasing this to hold my main windows PC and a ProxMox home server. Yeah, I could just SSH in from the windows PC, but I'd like to also set the server machine up with some different Linux Distros to experiment around with.

I guess they changed the monitor arm support since the Feb 2024 expo, there was a chonky extension for a monitor arm in the middle. Maybe they could add more of a lip in the rear to support most monitor arms to help support even 49” Ultrawide weights.
Great video, than you GGF. I think how I would run it is having my gaming PC on the right side, and place my work laptop in the left side. I would just need to figure out how to reconcile with the 5 monitors I am currently using across the two systems. Maybe I could get a switch and help clear out some monitors. What do you guys think?
I expected + 3k for the table, oled screen not included as it is a product for few enthusiasts. 1400$ is definitively an affordable price for the quality of the product you get. I was looking for a new desk for my office as well as a new build using future RTX5000 and 9800X3D. First “desk-case” i saw years ago was the Red Harbinger. For 1400 bucks I’ll definitively buy it. When will it be released? Will them ship to Spain? Thanks!
thank you for the great video! Could you measure the distance from edge of desk to the part where your knees touch the radiator intakes? I'd like to get this, but do not want my knees to touch that part of the desk.
@@acorb87 From the edge to the top of the angle rad part is 170mm and it slants down to 300mm. I probably should have added this info. But I've been in talks with Lian Li and they might be making a bracket of some sort that can attach to the front to give you a bit more room.
I like this table. altho i do have a issue with the placement because ( i am sure everyone noes) once i place the desk mat for my kb n mouse, it blocks a part of the beautiful view of the build itself... haaaa
Love the idea of this case. But knowing how hot the air coming out of my system is if those rads are set to exhaust I am going to be so sweaty on my legs/crotch area haha. Also that screen is cool but far to rich for vast majority of peoples blood lol 4000+ is just crazy.

I think they missed out on adding a KVM integrated somewhere on this desk. It screams minimalism and adding an ugly KVM on top of this desk is not going look good.
looks very good, but I would have done it differently if I had been LianLi. The whole thing would have been set up at 45 degrees, which would have given you more space at the front for the keyboard and mouse. Very few people would have done it that far forward. So that you can see the nice, clean system, I would have split the display and placed it on the left and right. The rear mainboard connections should have been extended to the back with an adapter, so that you can install the mainboard as you are used to, CPU at the top and graphics card at the bottom.
18:35 on my older lian li desk, and 2x 32” screens - the glass is bowing under the weight and gives me 0 confidence in this desk. I’m afraid the entire top of my desk is going to shatter any time I move a monitor. These desks are fraught if you use a monitor arm. I’m going to wall mount my monitors because of this
@ I did watch the video and it only worked because of your specific ROG mount. There are many other mounts in the world, and not many are like the ROG one. Did you comprehend what I wrote?
This is so amazing but I’d like to not have to pay $1400 as that would be £1400 in the uk unless even though £ is worth more than $ just fyi £1400 is 1816.48 and $1400 is £1078.94 which I could actually afford, £1400 I can’t afford (pc manufacturers like lian li please can you address this international pricing issue) 11:00
This is amazing….but use DECIMETERS! Even centimeters make more sense than describing something that is over a meter in length in millimeters! Why do y’all do that?! It’s annoying!
Only 2x 360 mm radiator support for a dual system build is pretty paltry If I am to be honest. 4x is obviously plenty for a single system. I guess there really isn't much room for more than that though.
The only thing that bothers me about this build is that you put the hard tubes over the fans, why? There's space all around them, so they don't have to be directly over the fans? I realize that the cooling is absolutely overkill with the 4 radiators and so many fans and that it doesn't really matter. But it would never occur to me to put the tubes over the fans if I have "such a wasteful" amount of space. This isn't an ITX build...
@@GGFEvents That should be clear from what I said before. They are in the way of the airflow, so they don't belong there unless there is absolutely no other option. Because even if you have oversized the cooling and it doesn't really matter, they can increase the background noise unnecessarily (depending on the speed) because the air has to pass through them. Especially since you are sitting directly in front of them. And/or create unwanted (again depending on the speed) case resonances of the whole case aka table. Speaking of sound, that is something that I am missing here in the advertising presentation. Whether the cooling or other resonances can be heard during normal use and when playing games. Because that is something that you only notice later after you have bought it... The answer to the question of how loud the table will be if two systems are actually installed would also be interesting.
@@GGFEvents Why is it trolling if I say it bothers me that the hard tube is exactly in the airflow of the fans (it is not in the middle at the height of the hub of the fan but slightly offset outwards, exactly above the rotor blades) when there is no structural reason for it? And you can clearly see in the video from your camera angle that there would have been more than enough space above it to route it around. Just say that you did it that way on purpose for the video so that the colored water in this and the other tubes can be seen in the video the whole time. In other words, for you here, for the purposes of showing the video, function follows form rather than form follows function is more important. Because you yourself don't see this tube (or the other tubes through the tinted smoked glass and the pinpoint lighting of the fans without them illuminating the tubes) when the table is in use anyway, since it will be in front of a wall and your oversized mouse pad for the keyboard & mouse are above it anyway (and the frame of the glass plate, as can be seen in the video build section, is also exactly above it). So no, I don't want to troll you, I'm just saying that "for me" it's nonsense to build something above the fans in their airflow if it's not absolutely necessary.
I am sick of these brands not taking India seriously. This isn't 2004 but 2024, we can afford cool stuff now but they don't sell it here, at least sell it in Mumbai? 😑
@AskeLay Call centres? That puts you in line for cheap Mcdonalds. The only thing left after being the fastest growing economy & one of the largest forex holders is for the rupee to appreciate.

I heard you like extra displays besides your monitor, so we put a monitor on your desk and inside your desk and inside your coolers and fans.
Oh if you really min max you can get extra screens on your mobo and psu. Sick, and the galax hof cards have screens and some I color ones.
Is it water tight?
Would your coffee drip into the case if you spill it on the desk?

@ your Asus arm mount still had some of the circular rubber grip hanging out. I meant extend the lip further to completely cover the clamp’s grip.
