The Lian Li Aquarium PC Case from 2003

This is a Lian Li PC-6010 aluminum ATX tower case from 2003, but with the optional $99 fish tank side panel! It holds water, pebbles, plastic fish, and a bubbly pipe thing to get things moving. Yes, that means there's an air pump inside, right next to the IDE hard drive and PCI expansion cards. And it is precisely as loud and vibration-inducing as you'd expect.

I'd likely get in line too, especially if they used a slightly heavier duty pump designed for something non-conductive like mineral oil or silicone oil. Wouldn't evaporate like water will, and won't cause as much damage if a leak develops or one of the hoses comes loose.

like... with actual fish in it? Seems questionable 😆

[@123sleepygamer]

@@hannahcrawford9198 yeah it's too small, maybe if they had tiny fish it would be okay, but real fish seems like a hassle.

[@2qwik4u]

@@hannahcrawford9198 Might be good for some small shrimps

[@CommanderWiggins]

@@123sleepygamer Honestly, it's way too narrow for any type of fish to live in. It would be like living in the space between the interior and exterior walls of a house. Might make for a cool plant only display/underwater terrarium for someone who has experience setting those up.

[@freedustin]

@@CommanderWiggins fill it with Green Neon Tetras, they only get to 1 inch long. and they look super cool.

[@RynLikeTin]

I would really love to see a modern build behind those swirling fish. One of those AMD prism coolers spewing its RGB through the water would be incredibly charming.

[@rxzero00]

I like the sliding part where the motherboard is placed because that on a modern case would make assembling or disassembling a lot easier. But having a more modern case with an aquarium would be really cool, especially if it is possible to use something like a custom loop to both cool your computer and maintain the aquarium.

[@TetoPlushie]

Never knew I needed something like this until now

[@octacilioalvares5879]

Two things you should do: 1) Put a crab into the tank (this one is a must) 2) Maybe transform it somehow on an Itanium build, it would fit with the Itanic nickname lol

[@gnarlin4964]

Oooh, an Itanium build. Now there's an idea. LGR could talk about the AMD64 vs Itanium race and the ultimate fate of the Itanium etc.

[@carltonleboss]

How is he going to get an Itanium?

[@dcex4984]

​@@carltonleboss I don't think it is that hard to find it. I just checked it and found a motherboard (in ATX form factor!!!) and a couple of Itanium chips on ebay, they're a bit expensive tho. And they're from 2003, contemporary with the case😜

[@gerardsitja]

Love it man!!! I vote to modernise the use of this awesome case!!

[@mastafoo886]

I have totally driven past that building! also, what a trip seeing intel chips with pins again, its been a while.

I genuinely love this one.

[@timmorris6456]

I unironically love this

[@SolarGlaciate]

Ok I unironically want this case for my future modern PC build, it's so cool!

[@mariolover2222]

Oh yeah, I desperately want this case... I've always admired older cases when they weren't afraid to be weird. I'm not a huge fan of the RGB, tempered glass, black metal cases we have now

[@rm2569]

Yeah, i have a rgb tempered glass, black metal case because it was the cheapest and most compatible one i could find for my pc while being decent, but i would love something weird like this, but that would take some work to find and to get everything setup, and would prob be pretty expensive.

[@Silver_wind_1987_]

@@rm2569 honestly I find it neat....I like looking inside and seeing all the parts working together

[@Superphilipp]

Google the "I-Tee case". I got that in orange in 2002 or whatever and my current PC build is still in there. The airflow is a nightmare but it sits sooooo nice on my Desk.

[@RK-zf1jm]

I have a giant metal box i bought in 2002 its as anti rgb as it gets and i am never getting rid of it i feel i could probably take out godzilla if i were to drop this thing on him its real really really heavy.

[@jeremysart]

You just described my exact case 😭 LOL

[@blitzprogressive685]

amazing cable management

[@netyaroze1663]

I really wish Lian Li would come back with some sort of modernized anniversary PC-60/PC-70 cases. They've always been my favourite cases in terms of aesthetics.

[@Roxor128]

Yeah, simple opaque metal. Nice and timeless. Can't go wrong with that. You can keep your windows and disco lights, I'll stick with something I can leave on overnight when necessary and still get a good night's sleep.

[@ADreamingTraveler]

The early 2000's were definitely an interesting time to say the least. This type of thing is something you wouldn't have seen in the 90s or 2010s

Dude, this has “Alibaba ‘2022’ Case of the Year” written all over it.
