Building a PC in a dual-chamber case is pretty easy for experienced PC builders, but Lian Li has simplified the process to make it easier for novice builders to get the pro look, with a new power supply designed specifically for dual-chamber and an AIO with hidden tubing. In this video, I’ll be taking a look at both of these new parts and building a system with them to see what all the fuss is about with the new Lian LI HydroShift AIO and Edge power supply.

Lian Li HydroShift LCD 360S: Available now from Overclockers UK priced at £149.99 HERE.
Features:
- HydroShift features an innovative tubing design that integrates the tubes against the radiator for an almost tubeless look, to deliver a sleek looking system appearance.
- It uses highly durable ribbed tubing which has the flexibility to bend around the radiator without decreasing the inner tube diameter or restricting flow.
- Tubing can be routed at either side of the radiator and covered by the included left or right-hand L-shaped plastic shrouds, while the opposite side of the radiator can be covered with the included aluminium plate to enhance aesthetics.
- HydroShift AIOs are also equipped with a 2.88-inch IPS screen, with 480 x480 resolution and 500 nits peak brightness that can be customised to show themes, system statistics, photos and videos using the Lian Li L-Connect 3 software.

KitGuru says: Both of these new bits of hardware from Lian Li will help novice PC builders achieve the pro look. The Edge PSU may not be a game-changer but it certainly helps tidy up cable mess in a dual chamber case and the HydroShift AIO looks great with the minimal tubing style, which would work perfectly with back connect boards.
