Lian Li O11 Dynamic Evo O11DEX Black Aluminum / Steel / Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

The glass panel set-up is gorgeous to look at, the thermals are solid, and the case is so well made; right down to the ability to pop the front and side panels off without tools.With the evo dynamic you get multiple build options but what attracted me was the option to have an “inverted” build with the glass panel on the right-hand side.I bought this to replace my 15-year-old Soprano case which was thermally inefficient and too small for modern GPU’s. I have no regrets.My inverted build runs really cool and quiet with an air-cooled set-up using 2x140 fans on the side mount, a 120 in the back and a 140 venting the top rear above the GPU. Cable management is a dream with the help of an enclosed channel. In it’s most recent iteration the O11 will now accommodate ... MoreThe glass panel set-up is gorgeous to look at, the thermals are solid, and the case is so well made; right down to the ability to pop the front and side panels off without tools.With the evo dynamic you get multiple build options but what attracted me was the option to have an “inverted” build with the glass panel on the right-hand side.I bought this to replace my 15-year-old Soprano case which was thermally inefficient and too small for modern GPU’s.

I’m already planning some LED upgrades that will really make the whole scene pop.A standard build with this case is within the grasp of first timer, however a more varied build might need some reflection, but there is plenty of support online for these.I’ve had this case for months and the novelty still hasn’t worn off. What more can I say?

Absolute beast of a case

I really don't have much to say when it comes to the cases 'lack thereof.' The case is beautiful, sturdy and easy to build in. The manual was easy to read and did a decent job at explaining what is going on and what you need to do. Read it. Especially if you're coming from a lesser case and [finally] make the step into a case of this stature. It is a lot of money, for one, but it offers a lot in return. I don't see wasteful design elements in gimmicks. It is built for those who want to see function. I mean that literally and metaphorically -- it's absolutely functional, it looks good doing it and you'll see it work. All of it. The case, out of the box, offers a decent array of customizability. Reverse or standard layouts. Fan placements, front io configs, lighting, ... MoreI really don't have much to say when it comes to the cases 'lack thereof.'

Reverse or standard layouts. Fan placements, front io configs, lighting, cable management. It made me feel good building in and haven't really jumped into many cases. You don't get the vertical GPU mount or the mesh front ends. You also don't get the additional fan for HDD but I know why -- most folk are using SSDs. Plenty of cut outs for cables and an amazing amount of room, both in front and behind the motherboard. The case comes with straps installed and extras along with zip ties. The case IS heavy. 35lbs heavy. She wide and tall. So be mindful of the dimensions. I have a dual slot GPU with our 2 fans -- won't lie it doesn't fill in all the space but this case is ready for future potential! That being said, I have had no clearance issues. No cable issues or quality control issues. I'll say it again, I loved building in this beast. Love the way it looks and functions. Would most def recommend

Best Case I've Ever Owned

A little over a year ago I bought a NZXT Creators Edition. It came with the worst designed case for airflow I have ever seen and that is after 20 years of building computers. In game (mostly Apex Legends, Forza, etc) my 3090 would run between 80° C - 85° C. I decided it was time for a new case. After multiple hours of research I settled on this one. After pairing it with Lian Li ARGB 140mm fans I couldn't be happier with it. Running the same games the 3090 rarely goes above 70° C. Processor is about 10° C cooler also. Overall, I would highly recommend this case. Only issue I have with it is the weight, but a well built large case is going to be on the heavy side.

Buyer beware, don't buy this to spruce up an old build

I purchased two of this case, one for my 5900x build, another for an older build, which is running in an old Corsair case with acrylic. For newer builds, this case is fantastic and unmatched, however it is not a case for older builds as is. You also need to invest in a lot of fans to get this case's full potential.Lian Li implemented a single f_panel connector in this case for connecting the power/reset switches and hdd led. Newer motherboards have had the f_panel standard for awhile (my x570 Aorus Master however has the +/- on the switches reversed from the case connector, but that doesn't matter, luckily).My older build, unfortunately does not have f_panel, meaning I cannot connect it to the case as is.

On Reddit, Lian Li said you can contact them for an adapter cable, but its interesting how they don't sell it online. A real buzzkill for me hoping to spruce up an old build.Will still rate this as a 5-star, but be forewarned about older builds!

Great case for clean build!

I'm very picky on PC cases, I have been browsing cases for days and finally settled down with this case. I want to have a clean build, I don't want something too fancy, for example, too "gaming" look. What I like about this case the most: multiple fans support, PSU hiding (many modern cases have opened PSU shroud design), and top 360mm radiator placement support. I was in between Corsair iCUE 5000X RGB and this. I changed my mind after seeing others' review about the 3.5" HDD placement in ICUE 5000X case. I still plan to use HDD for large data in my current build, so I don't want to give up on that just for a case. LIAN LI O11 Dynamic EVO offers many customization, I'm the type of person who likes to change my build once in a while, so this case gives me the freedom ... MoreI'm very picky on PC cases, I have been browsing cases for days and finally settled down with this case.

LIAN LI O11 Dynamic EVO offers many customization, I'm the type of person who likes to change my build once in a while, so this case gives me the freedom to do so. Everything is easy to swap and change. There are couple minor things I don't like about this case, they can be improved in the next version maybe. One is the fan hub and one is the front panel I/O top mounting kit. I was surprised that for such an expensive case, it doesn't come with a fan hub which I normally got from cheaper cases. I would rather change some of the optional parts in the box for a fan hub because I may not need all the optional parts but I need a fan hub to connect all the fans since this case supports 10 fans. Without a fan hub, cable management can be messy. I purchased an ARGB fan hub to connect all the fans in the build and it was a little difficult to find a good spot for the fan hub. Another issue is this case is really meant for sitting on top of your desk, if you want to put it under the desk, the front panel I/O can be a pain unless you purchase the top mounting kit separately. Since this case is wider than the average mid tower, If you want to put it on the desk, you may need a larger desk, I purchased a new 63" desk for it. I originally planned to put it under the desk but this case is too beautiful to be hiding under the desk. My family loves my new build. Overall, this is a great case, very fun and easy to work with. If you like clean look and customization, this case is for you. The airflow in this case is awesome. I have 7 case fans and a 360mm radiator installed, everything stays very cool under normal uses and games: i7-12700K at 25 degree when idle and 55 degree at max.

Hands down, the best mid tower money can buy

Mainly got this because it is reverseable. I have a tower on either side of my desk and wanted the open side to face me from each so I needed one to be a mirror image of the other. This case shines in so many other ways though. The airflow is superior to all others. I currently have 13x 120mm case fans in it, and if I were to purchase the optional mesh front upgrade, could add another 3. There are 3 places for up to 360mm radiators as well, I have one of those in. The cable management is amazing too. Not only does it look great, but there is a small quick release panel (literally all of the panels are tool-less on here) that holds all the wiring tight in the back so that it doesn't interfere with reinstalling the rear panel.

Original LIAN LI PC-O11 Dynamic IS better..

The 2 weeks delay didn't bother me that much even when I was super excited to get it. I bought the Mesh side panel and the vertical GPU mount. Even when it looks nice, there is MAJOR problems with this case. The new 'design' now makes you clip the front, side, top and back panels in place. While the front, side, top have screw/s to hold them in place, the back panel does NOT. The back tray to hold cables in place is extremely small, way smaller than the original LIAN LI PC-O11 Dynamic. I had to squeeze all my cables in this small gap and its NOT ideal. I was able to fit everything but it puts a bit of pressure on the cable management bar. Since it does that & the back part has no screws, the back panel CONSTATNALY pops out on its own. Its the most annoying part of ... MoreThe 2 weeks delay didn't bother me that much even when I was super excited to get it. I bought the Mesh side panel and the vertical GPU mount.

If I didn't take HOURS of my day to build this PC, I would have returned it by now. Its super annoying seeing the back panel pop out and there is nothing you can do to fix this. EXTREMMLY disappointed.

Power And Features In One

My first foray into Asus Power Supplies. I was looking for certain features and this hit most of the buttons. I needed 750/850w, check. Modular and high efficiency (platinum), check. (2) 4+4 pin ATX 12v, check. At least (3) PCI-e, check. I also wanted individually sleeved cables. This is where I was somewhat disappointed. There are (3) PCI-e cables but only (2) of them are sleeved individually with single 6+2 pin connectors. The third is not individually sleeved and has (2) 6+2 pin connectors. This works but it looks kind of tacky to have 95% of the cables individually sleeved and one, prominent cable not. I may have to see if I can purchase another individually sleeved PCI-e cable. On a bright note, the OLED screen, which shows the wattage, looks/works great. There ... MoreMy first foray into Asus Power Supplies.

There may be some concern if your case mounts the PSU a certain way i.e. vertical, behind the mobo, etc as the OLED screen cannot be moved. The 0db switch is nice if I'm not gaming but I can't hear the fan regardless. Cable lengths are more than adequate for my Thermaltake X9 case and very pliable. All in all a nicely engineered PSU for a budget. Well Done Asus

Spacious and packed with features

I recommend this case if it fits your budget, your work area, and you want a lot of space to work inside with. It's a wide case so if you intend to put it on top of a desk: keep that in mind. I'd say it's maybe 50% wider than standard mid-towers that I've seen. This is because it mounts the PSUs on the side and gives you a lot of space for hiding cables. I don't know about side mounted PSUs, but I suppose it's possibly less dusty than bottom mounted PSUs while still keeping a discrete air flow from the rest of the case.The case looks good and it's very modular, so much so you can actually "flip" the case and move stuff around. Lots of room for fans and radiators and upgrading from a much older case the feature that I appreciate the most is that the front panel ... MoreI recommend this case if it fits your budget, your work area, and you want a lot of space to work inside with.

This case provides lot of options

I purchased this case for a new build I'm doing. It's bigger than I need, but I wanted an inverted case, and this is one of the few that I liked that supported that. The flexibility this case provides is impressive. As noted, it can be inverted (glass on the right side). There's plenty of room for cable management, drive mounting, etc. There are several options for mounting video cards (upright or vertical). The external ports mount at the bottom, and can be moved around to fit your needs.There a few drawbacks that might affect some users. Depending on the motherboard, if you invert the case, there is no room for a radiator at the top. You'll have to mount it on the back/side. If you want to mount a video card differently or want a front mesh panel, you'll need to ... MoreI purchased this case for a new build I'm doing.

I would absolutely recommend this case.
