Lian Li, maker of some of the best-looking PC cases, has unveiled a concept that could very well redefine our gaming setups –the DK-07. Literally a gaming desk that doubles as a PC case, the DK-07 comes complete with a 30-inch transparent OLED screen (courtesy of LG) sprawling across its surface. This unique piece of kit was shown at the Lian Li 2024 Digital Expo that was hosted on YouTube, following a sneak peek at last year's Computex, where it captured imaginations with its spacious underbelly designed to cradle the heart of a gamer's PC setup, including the intricate networks of water-cooling pipes.
But the DK-07 isn't just about its visual flair. It comes packed with features too. For instance, there’s a cup holder that Lian Li says can your beverage at just the right temperature, warm or cold. Meanwhile, a discreetly integrated retractable USB hub in the top-left corner ensures that connectivity is always within reach without cluttering the workspace. The design also thoughtfully includes ample space for cooling fans, which overclockers can appreciate.
As of now, Lian Li has not revealed the desk's release date and pricing, though hints dropped suggest it will be positioned as a premium offering.
The company also announced new casings too, including the SUP-01 and O11 Vision Back Connect.

The SUP-01 is a 45-liter case, that features a front-positioned graphics card that Lian Li says not only enhances the visual appeal of the case but also boosts its cooling efficiency, outperforming the LANCOOL 216 with its airflow-optimized mesh panels. The airflow design also leverages the GPU and rear fans for intake, while the right-side fans serve as exhausts.
Accommodating motherboard sizes up to ATX, the main chamber is designed with a pre-mounted PCIe 4.0 riser cable and offers ample space for 280 to 360mm All-In-One (AIO) cooling systems. It also provides versatile storage solutions, capable of housing two SSDs or 3.5” HDDs, thanks to a removable drive cage, and features magnetic dust filters to keep the system clean. The SUP-01 comes with an SRP of US$149.99.

The O11 Vision Back Connect is a variant of the uber popular O11 and supports motherboards with back connectors (remember MSI’s Project Zero? Read all about it here). This O11 version caters to back-connected ATX and M-ATX motherboards, giving it a very clean almost cable-less look, while retaining its pillar-less frame and support for regular motherboards. Notable changes include a fixed motherboard tray and support for two 120mm fans at the rear, eliminating the 240mm radiator option, and non-tinted tempered glass panels for a clear view inside the case. The O11 Vision Back Connect is priced at US$129.99.
