Yes, Lian Li<\/b> does in fact make PC cases in the desk form factor. It\u2019s been a while since we covered one of them, but the company\u2019s desk chassis lineup is still pretty sparse, only covering four products. However, the latest one in that product family has a touch of class to it that the company is eager to show off: the DK-07 Wood<\/b>.<\/p>\n
As the name suggests, it\u2019s built off of their existing DK-07 chassis, but instead swaps the aluminum tabletop for real walnut wood<\/b>. Breaking up the look, is a tempered glass panel which acts as the access point to internal components.<\/p>\n
All told, the desk supports up to 100kg of evenly distributed weight<\/b>.\u00a0One does have to wonder how the finish will hold up over time, however. Even if the glass panel at the centre will likely be the one holding up the most weight, especially from the monitors, a coaster might as well be factored into the cost of this chassis if you plan on keeping drinks on top of it.<\/p>\n The DK-07 Wood supports two E-ATX motherboards, allowing you to have two systems in the desk chassis. Note the control panel with a display and wireless charging pad flanking the glass panel.<\/p>\n Image: Lian Li<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Given the size, it\u2019s no surprise that the DK-07 Wood supports large motherboards \u2013 not one, but two E-ATX boards<\/b>, to be precise, with further support for horizontal and vertical GPUs up to 383mm<\/b> in length. The size also helps the chassis act as a mini-storage hub; you can find space for up to 10x 3.5-inch HDDs<\/b> as well as 4x 2.5-inch SSDs<\/b> (which goes up to 6 if you\u2019re using one motherboard).<\/p>\n Keeping the dual system support in mind, the DK-07 Wood can also hold up to two 220mm PSUs<\/b>, alongside a pretty extensive cooling setup, including space for a 480mm radiator <\/b>at the front for a dual system. If you opt to have the desk chassis house only one system, it frees up space for two more 360mm radiators.\u00a0<\/p>\n Port selection on the DK-07 Wood. It\u2019s worth noting that these ports are also duplicated on the other side of the desk for the second PC system, should you choose to have one.<\/p>\n Image: Lian Li<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n The desk chassis also has I\/O covered with two USB 3.1 Type-C ports, two USB-3.0 Type-A ports, and a combo mic\/audio port.\u00a0The ports are duplicated on the other side of the desk for second PC system.<\/p>\n Finally, outside of the \u2018PC case\u2019 part of Lian Li\u2019s pitch, there\u2019s also a fair few creature comforts to be found on the DK-07 Wood. For one, it\u2019s height-adjustable<\/b>, from 676mm to 1162mm, which can be toggled via a control panel, and it comes with a wireless charging pad<\/b>.<\/p>\n Lian Li\u2019s DK-07 Wood is available via platforms such as Newegg, though local availability and pricing details have not been announced yet. And, for all the features that the DK-07 Wood touts, economy is not one of them \u2013 the desk chassis is set to go for US$1,399<\/b>. Notably, it\u2019s the same price for the original DK-07.\u00a0<\/p>\n Can you assemble your own PC with that money? Yes. Is a grand and change worth it to have a PC that can hold two systems, and is made of wood? Maybe (maybe not), but as we noted in our previous coverage of the original DK-07, it\u2019s meant to appeal only to a subset of PC enthusiasts who want their setup to be neat and tidy whilst being extravagant. With the DK-07 Wood, the \u2018extravagant\u2019 factor has certainly been ramped up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nPricing and Availability<\/h2>\n
