Lian Li PC-O11DX 011 DYNAMIC Tempered glass on the front Chassis body SECC ATX Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case Black

I've now built 4 PCs in the past 7 years or so, and this is by far the best case in which I've ever built. If you're considering this case, you're probably here because you've immediately noticed how stylish it is. It's just as pretty and sleek in real life as it is in photos, so if that's your primary concern, go ahead and make the purchase. However, what isn't readily apparent in photos is just how high quality the materials are. The sleek brushed aluminum panels are solid and pleasantly hefty, though not so heavy they weigh the case down unnecessarily. Further, they all slide into place and lock one another together in an impressive, intelligently designed way so that the case remains solid even before applying the thumbscrews to lock everything down. This is more of a big deal than it sounds—nearly every case in which I've built (even the expensive ones) feature some kind of annoying rattling, or a panel or fan screen that doesn't quite fit as snugly as you'd like. As the PC ages and the fans vibrate everything continuously over years of use, this tends to create rattles and light ambient noise that will annoy you more and more over years of usage. I'm now nearly 6 months into using this case, and I've got 9 fans in it (probably overkill, but let me live). I'm a heavy gamer, so those fans are often spinning at 100%, and this case has zero rattles whatsoever. Airflow is superb and it keeps components clean. I have used cases in the past which featured plastic windows and had poor airflow, this case has solid, heavy glass, and airflow is impeccable. It's also got superb layout for easy cable management and PSU mounting, and although it tucks the PSU behind the motherboard, I haven't noticed any heat issues from this location, as fresh air is amply supplied via properly located vents in the case. I've heard people say building in this case is somewhat difficult, but it's been by far the easiest case for me to build in out of others. Whether this is due to my growing skill at building multiple PCs, or because the case is better designed, is difficult for me to say. But I don't consider myself a master builder or anything like that (I build only for myself and for pleasure), so I'd lean towards the latter. I've gushed enough, so to summarize, I'll say that this case looks beautiful, it's impeccably designed, the materials it uses are superb, and it's easy to build in. It's also far cheaper than some of the other top cases on the market. Lian Li has made a fan of me. The only way I'll ever replace this case is if Lian Li releases a better model. You really can't go wrong with it, unless you need an optical drive. But who needs an optical drive in 2020?

CASE LOOKS: 10/10 this case is beautiful, with 2 glass panels giving a full view of one's components. Only downside possible with this is that you must measure twice and place once. Flawless. OVERALL QUALITY, INTERIORS 10/10 The frame metals, glass panels, polymer frames for HDD, and polymer mount-bits all feel High quality, and are very sturdy and durable. The interiors were spacious on both sides, allowing for good cable managing and also for liquid cooling. OVERALL COMMENT: This case is truly a marvel of engineering. I have purchased other cases before, but I think this will become my end all be all case, with exception to the Corsair 1000D and this case's bigger brother the 011-D XL. The only reason to go up is if you need something even bigger than this cavernous case. if you want something smaller, get a Lian Li 205. Through all 3 Lian Li cases that I have owned, all were super amazing, and their customer support was amazing to say the least. I will be coming back when its time to build again. Truly, fantastic. Things to know/only con This case is not for newcomers. That would be a Lian Li 205 or NZXT H510 ( I like the Lian Li better though). If you do buy this case, note that this case favors those who have good cable management, and messy cable management will turn this case from a 10/10 to a 0/10.

I absolutely LOVE this case! PROS: 1. The design is clearly well thought out by someone who knows and loves building custom PC's. 2. Cable management is excellent! Cable pass-throughs are exactly where you need them, and there is tons of room behind the motherboard for cables and components. 3. Materials feel premium and durable, and fit well together. I especiially love how the side & top panel attach/detach. 4. It's a thing of beauity! Its almost more art than tech, everyone who sees it compliments how great it looks. 5. Fan positions are excellent considering the design of this case. I was concerned about not having front/back fan positions, but the side fans provide plenty of air, and the bottom fan positions have plenty of room to breathe and really help to keep my OC'd video card nice and cool. CONS: 1. None, its perfect as is. THOUGHTS: * I thought I would need the XL case size, but it was out of stock when I ordered. the non-XL is plenty large though, and I'm perfectly happy with it.

This is one impressive case! There is a ton of room in it and a lot of options for customization. Its also beautiful, my first white case and first glass panel or any full see through panel of any kind. The glass panel on the front gave me the perfect platform to build an infinity mirror that I have always wanted and it looks wonderful(if you like that kind of thing). I love that you can hide most of the wires, PSU and HDD/SSD behind the motherboard tray. This is the perfect case for any kind of water cooled build you might want and any kind of show build you might desire. That being said I do have to point some down sides that I came across in my build. As I said earlier this is a case for a show build so there is limited options for storage drives, I was able to squeeze 3-3.5" drives in the back but it was tight and I'm going to take one out soon. This case is primarily for showy SSDs and 2.5" drives. Second it is a heavy case with no place to hold onto except for slipping you hands under it. Maybe that was intentional so that it is fully supported at all times, the feet actually create a 3/4" space under it for you hands to slip under easily. Third, there is no native mounting support for a fan to exhaust out the back like cases have had for years, I was able to mount an old 92mm fan I had sitting around at an angle to the vent on the back but I'm not sure that was intended. Lastly I wasn't really happy with what I had to do to install my 1080ti Hybrid with a push/pull setup (see pic). Someday I hope to mod the full side panel with a Snowblind mod but that is in the future and could take me a while. Overall I am impressed with this case though I would probably advise you to look at the XL version that came out about the time I purchased this one. If you can get this for 100 or less then it should be a no brainer.

It was time to build a new PC and I wanted a cheaper stylish case with tons of room, I also wanted to do a pink & white themed PC. When I received the package, everything was intact and no visible damage. The glass was protected with film on both sides to protect against scratches. The instructions were horrible, however it is a computer case all the same so I can't really deduct a star for that, however if you're new to PC building I could understand how that could be an issue. One thing I wish was more clear in the instructions is the dust filters. The case comes comes with 4 air filters; top, bottom, two on the side. They're all difference sizes which is what makes it confusing. Talking about the sides now, the side door adjacent to the motherboard tray leaves a ton of room for cable management and the routing is impeccable. The PSU has a stand off to hold it from sagging, a little "stand" so to speak, however there's a hole in it which helps for routing cables underneath it. (Visible in the photo of the cable management with the cable ties showing.) Very good attention to detail, and the tempered glass is a bonus. While on subject about the rear panel, there is something I believe everyone should be aware of and that's the SSD mounting. The SSDs mount against the white panel covering the cables, the issue is the power connectors don't have room to bend and there's no cut out for that. If you plan on getting this case and installing SSDs into the back, or beneath the graphics card, you will need to buy low profile sata power cables. They're fairly inexpensive and will save you a lot of trouble later on. Another oddity to mention is the USB 3.0 header. Perhaps this issue is more prevalent on motherboards with a bottom mounted USB 3.0 header, not any fault to the case itself, however it's really hard to bend the cable to get it in correctly. If you plan on using fans in the bottom of the case it's going to be difficult to get that ultra clean look without a low profile USB 3.0 female to male adapter. In all, it's an amazing case and an amazing value for the price. I'm quite surprised the case isnt $200 because it really feels like it's in that tier.

Pros: Plenty of room to build. No problem fitting 280mm AIO radiator (only at the top of the case) or 360mm at the top and on the side (or both at the same time). Can be used to mount 9 120mm fans or 2 140mm and 6 120mm. Glass panels look great and easy to install. No screwed to hold them in place, they just slide info designated groves in the case for a clean look. Power supply doesn't take needed space because it's mounted int he back of the case. Make sure you remove protective plastic from both sides of the glass panels! There is plastic on the inside as well, it's just hard to see. Cons: plate in the back that should be holding your hard drives is not really helpful. You can screw your SSDs, but good luck trying connecting them. Imagine placing your drive flat on a table, now try connecting SATA power and data cables. There's no room to squeeze SATA power cable. I'm just using back plate to hide all the cables in the back. Also, if you are installing fans at the bottom of the case, 2 SSD mounting brackets will have to go. Each fan takes one bracket away. Notes: Raising this core to 5 stars due to Lian Li tech support. Around 2 weeks after buying this case, I noticed that my front glass panel was incorrectly cut at the top. Looked like a small piece of it chipped away. I e-mailed Lian Li tech support and got reply from Eric T. a few hours later. Replacement glass was sent to me with no questions asked. Technically he did ask for my address. Overall it's a great case and because of the amount of fans you can use. It looks and stays cool.

I bought this for some serious watercooling, and it is the best, smallish form factor case that can handle a lot of radiators. I have the case in white, and it looks fantastic. The brushed silver front also looks great. There's two USB 3s on the front and a type C, which is really nice. There are however limits and a few to what you can do watercooling-wise, and here's what I've found out so you don't have to; It says you can use 3 360mm radiators in the case, but if you mount one in the top and in the side vertically, the vertical one can only have it's fittings on the bottom, and only have fans in a push or pull rotation. There's just not enough room for the radiators together, because if you mount a 360 in the top, it overlaps and cuts off the vertical one in the side. You could theoretically do it, but it'd be such a pain in the ass that I went with a different setup all together. What I ended up with is this configuration; An EK PE 360mm 38mm thick on the bottom on top in a pull An EK CE 280mm 45mm thick on top in a push A Bitspower Leviathan SF 360mm 25mm thick vertically on the side in a push The biggest things again were not being able to mount 3 360mm radiators in here, but it's not that big of a deal. With the thicker 280 and 25mm fans in the top spot, I didn't run into clearance issues with EPS cables or RAM on my Asus Rampage VI Extreme. There's still plenty of room if you wanted to even maybe go with a 60mm thick radiator. The bottom radiator also brought up one problem that you need to address, cable management. Whatever cables plug into the bottom of your motherboard, you have to plug in those cables before installing anything (even just fans - anything gets in the way). Also, if your motherboard has a USB 3.1 port on the bottom, the cable for these is too thick and not bendable enough to plug it in along with fans. What you need to do is buy a USB 3 motherboard extension cable that's very thin and allows you to bend it into place. This is required if you even want fans on the bottom. Also think about getting some 3 pin or 4 pin (whatever you motherboard has) extension cables as well, just to make it easier to work with. What I found to be the hardest part was looping things from the top rad to the vertical rad. The fittings in the top rad were on the left, and the vertical rads fitting were on the top, so it was a little ugly using soft tubes. This would be interesting to see how it would work with hardline tubing, something I want to try someday. I don't think I can with this case - it's just that awkward and strange. The fact that the cable holes for the 24pin and GPU are on the side at a slant, makes it so much easier if you have a slight EATX motherboard like my Asus rampage VI extreme. Normal ATX is 12" x 9.6", but this board and some higher end ones are 12" x 10.6" or 10.9" Having the holes for cables mounted at a slant makes it super easy to route cables for larger sized motherboards. There's also plenty of room to be lazy with cable management and just stuff everything in the back lol. I can fit a Corsair lighting node pro, an NZXT USB hub, and lots of extra space for loose cable. There's also a way for you to mount 2.5" HDDs on the inside of the little support panel, but it doesn't work quite that well. That's one of the downsides of this case, if you use the mount for 3.5 & 2.5 bay for drives, it cuts into the space available quite a bit. I thankfully have nothing but m.2 and one 2.5in SSD. It'll be a pain in the ass if you have larger drives. The case itself is very nice - metal everywhere, nice tempered glass that thankfully just sets into grooves instead of mounts with thumb screws. All you need to do is loosen and take off the top, and you can detach all the panels on the front and sides. It's a nice touch they made the top panel screws the kind that don't come out so you don't have to worry about losing them. Hopefully the don't get stripped. Also, there's nice filters for the fans in the top and sides for intake or exhaust. I have the case in white, and it looks fantastic. There's only a few downsides to this case, but the positives completely outweigh the negatives. If you want a smaller sized, fully capable water cooled rig, give this a look. If you want an air cooled box, still check this out. It's a better watercooling case than air, but no matter what you go with, it's a fantastic case and completely worth the $150ish price point. Great case, high quality, and very well built.

After my the thermals on my Enthoo Evolve case got to the point where I was running the fans at full blast all the time after upgrading the GPU and CPU, it was time to get a new case. If you that follow computer tech-tubers, this case has won several case of the year awards from Hardware Canucks. Gamer's Nexus, ect... Positives: 1. Build quality is amazing. Everything feels very solid (no paper-thin sheet metal), cable grommets to route everything 2. Lots of space for cable management behind the motherboard and space above the motherboard. This made the build experience very smooth since one of the most frustrating things about a build is routing the CPU power connector and top fans. 3. It does not come with stock fans. While this may seem like a negative, for me, I tend to throw away stock fans since they're generally terrible quality. Thus, Lian Li knows their audience and know that they're going to populate this case with their own. 4. Tempered glass doesn't use thumb screws and the sliding mechanism is much easier to remove and install. 5. The airflow on this case keeps everything nice and cool; the intake fans at the bottom draws fresh air for the GPU, while the side intake pulls lots of air for system cooling before being exhausted by the top fans. I probably went overboard with the number of fans installed since the system is louder than the Enthoo Evolve. 6. Not a big footprint. Compared with the Evolve, it's much shorter, and not that much wider. Cons The only con that I can think of is that since it's not much wider, there isn't as much space in regards to component height. With the EVGA RTX card, it pushed all the way up against the glass, and I had to really bend the PCIe power cables to make them fit. The EVGA powerlink that I will not fit with this card setup. YMMV, but something to be aware of. Overall, best card that I've built in, and maybe I should take off the plastic cover now?
