PC case innovation has reached new heights at Computex 2025, where manufacturers are finding creative ways to differentiate their products in an increasingly competitive market. Among the standouts this year is Lian Li's latest offering that combines premium aesthetics with practical functionality at a surprisingly accessible price point.
A Fresh Take on PC Case Design
Lian Li has unveiled its new Vector V200 PC case at Computex 2025, featuring an integrated 8.8-inch LCD screen built into the bottom of the side glass panel. This impressive update to the Vector V100 offers PC enthusiasts a unique way to monitor system performance and display visual effects without the need for additional external screens. What makes this offering particularly notable is its affordability—the entire case with the built-in screen will retail for just USD $109, making premium case features more accessible to budget-conscious builders.
Lian Li Vector V200 Key Specifications:
- Price: USD $109 (full case with screen)
- LCD Screen: 8.8-inch, 60Hz refresh rate
- Standalone screen price: USD $85
- Features: Touch-sensitive power and lighting controls
- Panels: Dual tempered glass (front and side)
- Software control: L-Connect 3
- Release date: September 2025 (case), August 2025 (standalone screen)
Panoramic Visibility with Dual Glass Panels
The Vector V200 features tempered glass panels on both the front and side, creating what Lian Li calls a panoramic view of the system's internal components. This design choice allows builders to showcase their hardware from multiple angles, with the unobstructed view highlighting the craftsmanship of their build. The case maintains the traditional two-tier layout with a PSU shroud at the bottom, but incorporates thoughtful design elements like a slightly slanted lower edge on the side panel to improve airflow directly to the GPU—a practical touch that enhances both aesthetics and cooling performance.
Innovative Touch Controls and Display Technology
Perhaps the most distinctive feature of the Vector V200 is its front-facing touch-sensitive control panel, which allows users to power the system on and off and adjust lighting effects without reaching for physical buttons. This touch interface adds a futuristic element to the case's operation that complements its clean, modern design. The 8.8-inch LCD screen operates at 60Hz and connects via USB, functioning as a secondary display that can be customized through Lian Li's L-Connect 3 software. For those who already have a case they love, Lian Li will also offer the screen separately for USD $85 starting in August 2025.
Thoughtful Design Details
Lian Li has incorporated several practical features that demonstrate attention to detail. The case includes tube clips for AIO liquid cooling kits at the top of the chassis, helping builders secure tubing and maintain a clean aesthetic. The LCD screen is surrounded by an ARGB lighting frame that creates dynamic visual effects, further enhancing the case's appearance. These small but significant touches show Lian Li's understanding of what PC enthusiasts value in a modern chassis—the ability to create a clean, professional-looking build without resorting to complex custom loop cooling systems.
Availability and Market Position
The Vector V200 case with its integrated screen is scheduled to hit the market in September 2025, while the standalone 8.8-inch Universal Screen will be available slightly earlier in August. At USD $109 for the complete case, Lian Li has positioned the Vector V200 as an attractive option in the mid-range PC case market, offering premium features at a price point that's accessible to more builders. This aggressive pricing strategy could help Lian Li capture market share in an increasingly screen-obsessed PC component landscape.
