Lian Li Odyssey X $500 Case Review: "Transforming" Full Tower

This review of the Lian Li Odyssey X PC case for $500 looks at thermals, build quality, and overall value of a case with a serious gimmick. It "transforms," apparently.

The Lian Li Odyssey X has made appearances at a number of trade shows. This is a large, full tower case, and so its most direct competition would be Lian Li's own O11 Dynamic XL, the Fractal Meshify 2 XL, or the Phanteks Enthoo Pro 2, among other full tower and SSI-EEB cases for "E-ATX" motherboards. Either way, the Odyssey has something that many of them don't: The ability to be not just 1, but 3 variations of an extremely expensive assembly of glass and aluminum.
