Default Evolution Of A Snail

Evolution Of A Snail


While the Lian Li PC-777 also known to many as the “snail”. Is a clean, well engineered, out of the ordinary Limited Edition case, To celebrate 20 years of Lian Li. With its unique design, Style and innovation and usual quality one expects from Lian LI.

I plan on turning this all aluminum case into something more special than it already is. Keeping most parts standard and fabucating unique custom parts which blend into the curves and spirals. Together with high quality photos I instead to make something which is already truly fantastic, even more fantastic. Giving the case back something from its past to help it in the future.

I would very much enjoy your comments, good or bad as I take you on this ride of a life time. I intend to keep my photos fairly small for the enjoyment of others and to make it as easy as possible to view the worklog.

Before we get going I’ve got to warn you, there may be days, weeks and in worst case months before I update. With this in mind I hope not to disrupt your Viewing pleasure.


Chapter 1.1 – Stock and more Stock

With this special edition case being a good 5 years old now, it makes sourcing ever much harder. With New not being an option, it left me with no choice, Second hand. Which brings a sense of past into its life.

She’s a little beaten up, but nothing a little bit of love can’t fix. Dust, grim and fingerprints is her old motto with every corner, rivet and groove being filled with it.

She is the glorified and intrigued beast which is “Elle”, the Lian LI Snail.
