PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

The newest craze, the aluminum PC case, has swept the computer market
like a storm. Everyone is praising the quality, the lightness and the
lovely finish these cases have brought to the lucky purchaser's workstation.
Shining in the forefront is the king and overall leader of this niche
market, the Lian-Li. I myself have
kept tabs on all the latest models and am amazed as to how many models,
sizes and colours comprise the Lian-Li aluminum case lineup. Big008.com
was kind enough to donate a sample of the Lian-Li PC-86 to introduce me
to the premiere line of aluminum computer cases and to expose a model
that hasn't got allot of attention on the net.
