Lian Li is no stranger to making some of the most covetable PC cases, but its new DK07 gaming desk PC case takes things to a new level. Able to house two whole gaming PCs, with a glass top to allow you to gaze down at your expensive hardware, it makes for a striking yet hopefully practical way to house your whole gaming setup.

This isn’t actually Lian Li‘s first stab at a gaming desk PC case, with its existing DK-05F & DK-04F offering a similar set of features. However, those original versions are now discontinued, and this new best PC case and best gaming desk contender comes in at a lower MSRP, making it a more attainable option.

Starting with the basics, the DK07 is an electronic sit-stand desk, offering manual adjustment between a height of 676mm and 1162mm. It also includes three preset buttons for instantly dialing in your preferred heights. It’s what’s on top of those legs that really makes the DK07 stand out, though.

The top of the desk has a 6mm thick tempered glass window in its center, while to either side are 2mm thick slabs of brushed aluminum, into which are set the height-adjust control panel on the left and a wireless charging pad on the right. This is one of the major changes from the company’s previous desk designs, which had a tempered glass top covering the whole desk width. The full glass approach is arguably more eye-catching, but the aluminum is more practical.

Below this top are the guts of the desk, which actually extend deeper than most of the images Lian Li has provided would suggest. While the front edge of the desk is only around 50mm deep, the central rear portion, where the main PC components are housed, is a lot deeper. It’s unlikely to interfere too much with your setup, but it’s something to be aware of if you were thinking the whole desk was as thin as the front edge.

Inside that front edge are USB ports, a headphone jack, and the power button for the systems inside. Perhaps our favorite aspect of this desk case, though, is that Lian Li has included drawers. To either side of the central windowed section of the desk are 50mm deep drawers with full-extension slides and in-built organizers. They’re only 260mm long and 105mm wide, but are large enough for most basic stationery, a spare mouse, a few cables, adapters, and so on.

Meanwhile, the main PC-housing section of the desk can be configured via a modular bracket design to house either one central system or two systems sat side-by-side. Both can be up to E-ATX in size, so there’s ample space for some seriously powerful systems. Unlike some super-slim, custom gaming desk PC cases we’ve seen (such as these three examples: 1, 2, 3) the systems here are housed in a conventional orientation, with the graphics cards able to be mounted vertically, though you can also flip them to a horizontal orientation.

There’s space for 12 120mm fans and multiple up to 480mm radiators as well, though again because the systems sit in a normal orientation, you can just use conventional air CPU coolers, as long as they’re not too tall. No fans or RGB lighting is included, though there’s ample space for magnetic RGB strips to be fitted inside and outside the case.

Available now – not that we’ve found any in stock anywhere – the Lian Li DK07 price is set at $1,399.99, which is a lot of money, but less than the $1,499.99 starting price of the company’s previous gaming desk PC cases. It’s also reasonable considering premium gaming desks, such as the excellent Secretlab Magnus Pro and Corsair Platform: 6, start at over $850 for just a desk.

Meanwhile, if you’re looking for a slightly more affordable home for your gaming PC, you can always check out the amazing triple-glass-paneled Lian Li O11D Vision Compact, which is just $120 via this link.
