Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic Mini Snow Edition Tempered Glass ATX Case

Putting the fully modular aspect aside, I found this case to be quite a challenge to build in. The case itself is well made and well packaged. I found some of the modular screws to be super tight almost as if they were fitted while the paint was still drying. The box of spare screws comes in handy in case one gets damaged during the initial unscrew. Requiring a small form factor (SFX) power supply unit wasn't a big deal. They are readily available, costing a little more than an standard sized PSU. You could fit two SFX power supplies by removing the hard drive bay, if you were to say, run duel 3090's in some sort of SLI config. I was hoping there was more room to fit a radiator to the top of the case when using a full size ATX motherboard. Or even room for a 360mm ... MorePutting the fully modular aspect aside, I found this case to be quite a challenge to build in. The case itself is well made and well packaged.

I was hoping there was more room to fit a radiator to the top of the case when using a full size ATX motherboard. Or even room for a 360mm radiator mounted to the side. Unfortunately 280 is the biggest that can go side mounted with 360 only available at the bottom of the case when using a full ATX motherboard, obviously not suitable for an AIO. that aside you can fit 360mm worth of fans on the top as long as its only fans you want to place there. The cable management is fantastic. Best I have dealt with! You would only be let down by the cables that come with your PSU. and they can always be changed out to custom made cables. In order vertical mount your GPU, like everything based on this case, you need to buy an expensive bracket designed especially for this case (available at PB tech) which is available in both PCI-e gen 3 and 4. That aside, this is a future proofed case that will probably outlast the next couple of CPU/MB upgrades you will no doubt be purchasing in the future. I want to keep with a particular theme while using the Lian Li UNI fans for more ARGB control but the finished product will come at a considerable cost. But if your buying this case to make an incredibly beautiful machine, then that's going to cost you. Just perhaps more than you think. Overall, I feel this case would be suited an MATX build to ensure you have room at the top of the case for a radiator. This case when coupled with the right fans and water cooling config would be the last case you would ever need to buy.

Amazing case but..

As many others have mentioned, the case I overall, fantastic. I ran into a major issue with the standoffs that came pre-installed with the case. Extremely overtightened to the point I needed a pliers and wrench to undo. Once removed, installing them again where also difficult. It appears the issue with the actual plate / holes that the standoffs go into. I used a separate set of standoffs and found it still very difficult to screw in effectively. Upon trying to install the mobo, I found some of the standoffs where not tight enough to keep the mounting screw from turning indefinitely. If you don't plan on moving the board from its already established point, you will have no issues building in this case. If you have an MAtX or ITX mobo, be aware that reconfiguring may ... MoreAs many others have mentioned, the case I overall, fantastic.

Awesome case. Build quality is top notch.

I highly recommend this case to anyone. However, make sure you plan out what you will be doing before buying it. Yes, ATX motherboard is supported but it will automatically limit your AIO choice and size. Make sure you get an SFX power supply, not the regular ATX one. Once you understand these limitations, You will be super happy about the look and the functionality of this case. By the way, because of my room setup, I can't easily put my PC on the right hand side. I have been shopping around including looking at inverse cases but the comprises are usually too much. With this case, I can put it on my left hand side with the Motherboard facing me. It looks really nice that way as a show piece will all Lian-Li Uni Fans and Strimer Cables.

Beautiful & Practical

What's left to say really? The Lian Li 011 cases are brilliant, there's a reason these don't stay in stock for long. One bit of advice, try to plan out the order for installing your components. This is a rather small case and trying to reach screws and cables can get tricky, especially if you're using a full ATX mobo. If you don't need the HDD bay just remove it -you'll want the extra space for cables/LED hubs.

Fantastic case

I love this case. I haven't really found any major negatives. It's such a popular case for good reason. It looks great and there is plenty of room inside to work around. I think it fits in a really good sweet spot on size and room. It big enough to make it easier to build in but not so big that it takes up a lot of desk space. The only minor complaint is the back can get cramped with a lot of cables and controllers which is pretty standard. Fortunately, the adjustable hard drive and psu bracket can help with. Great purchase for the price.

Fun, flexable and easy to build in!

This case is awesome, with the ability to use every size MOBO except E-ATX, your options are almost unlimited. Its not quite mini and not quite a mid tower but it looks great and is super easy to build in. When you get the case, make sure to check it out for damage. It was packed well, but mine took a hit on the corner and I have a cracked foot and slightly bent edge which I was thankfully able to bend back into shape. Everything in this case can be removed, shifted, adjusted to fit your needs. The only real complaint I have with this case so far is the cable management on the backside. With ARGB fans there is a LOT of combining/zip tying of cables and then trying to jam them in any open space you can find. The strap path is fine for the included cables but not much ... MoreThis case is awesome, with the ability to use every size MOBO except E-ATX, your options are almost unlimited.

Also, make sure you buy a fully modular SFX power supply (I picked up the Cooler Master V850 SFX) if not the unused cables will be a pain in the tail to stash. I'll update this when I completely finish, but so far its great!

Great case for ATX build w/white 240 AIO & 9 QL120 fans.

I read that it was easy to do an ATX build with this case and they were right. The only tricky part was motherboard power in the upper left hand corner and that was because I had to run the power over the top at the very rear of the case instead of straight over where the plugs are, which I didn't realize until I went to install the top back fan. Also, I had planned to install a white 360 AIO, but I later learned that wouldn't mount properly (there is a hack using ties and one using an offset, neither acceptable to me) , so I changed to a side mounted white Corsair H100i Capellix AIO instead. That AIO comes with two ML120 fans, but I wanted Corsair QL120s, so decided to mount the radiator with the ML120s on the back side of the radiator and two QL120s on the front ... MoreI read that it was easy to do an ATX build with this case and they were right.

I mounted three QL120s on the bottom as intake, one QL120 on the rear as exhaust and 3 QL120s on the top as exhaust (11 fans total). All of these lights look fnatastic in this Lian Li O11D Mini Snow White case. I am super happy with the results and highly recommend the case.

Great case to work with

I bought this case for my new build as I came from a cheap diy pc that cost me 30 bucks and felt like the cheapest possible material. The case has a nice feel and comes with some cable management done already. While the case comes with no fans, I enjoy being able to have a side fan mounting position so I do not have to worry about having no front/side airflow. I originally planned to get the o11 dynamic evo but when I saw the cases in person, the o11 mini is much more reasonably sized for my needs. The materials are high quality and I have not negatives to say about the case

Lian Li stuns again!

I must say it gives me apprehension to build PCs for family, much more so than friends. Last year I fell in love with Lian Li's TU150 mini itx case and was prepared to build another, but the family member actually wanted a larger size, they wanted a white case and this checked those boxes. For the rest of the build, the options are immense - Mini ITX, mATX and ATX builds are supported, though the only power supply size accepted is SFX and SFX/L. Also white motherboards exist to match the snow theme but some have gimped features or less options so be warned. Because of the options presented for motherboards, there are a lot of including accessories to reconfigure the entire PCI backplate in a variety of ways. The cube like shape gives ample room for organizing cables ... MoreI must say it gives me apprehension to build PCs for family, much more so than friends.

The major con is no included fans, even some bargain-basement fans could of allowed me to ship this off faster. Though this build won't have 3.5 inch HDDs, I am not a fan of the design of the tray and although its cool a case of this size can hold two, along with 2 2.5inch ssd slots, i would not run a home server or media focused PC out of this case.

Very pleasing case

Not worth docking an egg, but with an ATX m/b installed I could not get any 120mm fans installed on the top. The reason was the particular model of motherboard that I used had a VRM heatsink that would not allow a 120 mm fan to fit. The lack of clearance was about 2mm. I could have installed a single 120mm fan on top flush against the front of the case but the aesthetics was not pleasing. I was going for a 3 fan row of RGB. That also means a 240 AIO won't fit on top either. I used a 240 AIO on the side and 3 RGB fans (both Lian Li brand) on the bottom. Cooling was not an issue. My recommendation is to only use a MATX or ITX m/b. Then every thing would fit. I would buy it again.
