Lian-Li har lanserat två nya chassin för multimediamarknaden och man satsar på less is more med sina PC-C33 och PC-C34F modeller som med sin traditionella aluminiumdesign gör dem lätt att känna igen. Lian-Li har valt att inte lägga in någon display i sina chassin vilket gör att dem ser stilrena, men samtidigt lite enkla ut. Kylningen kommer från en 140mm fläkt som drar in kalluft och som får hjälp med två 80mm utblåsfläktar. PC-C34F har även en ganska unik funktion, nämligen en RF-baserad fjärrkontroll genom sin 2.4GHz trådlös sensor. Betydligt effektivare än IR-baserade kontrollers som kräver fri sikt.
