Lian Li
The pioneer of aluminum chassis didn’t have many new products either. The focus of their display was a brushed aluminum BTX and ATX compatible concept case, but it looks a little too large for us to find practical, personally.

Lian Li has spent a lot of resources getting into desk production as well. These super-desks cost about $2000, but are completely sheathed in scratch-resistant brushed aluminum. Below, a Lian Li product manager attempts to scratch the table with a coin.
Below, you can see the integrated card reader and lockable drawer.
Power outlets are also designed into the desk. $2000 seems a bit more expensive than the $300 desk that I bought at IKEA, but then again, there was a time when we used to claim that aluminum cases were not practical and too expensive (but then, Lian Li went off and began a niche industry that has produced millions).
