Flagged as a product to avoid

3 of 7 research runs entered this as a product to avoid rather than a pick.

A heavily marketed, heavily stocked older design that coasts on the O11 name: owners report it feels cramped around big GPUs, with a GPU cable rubbing the bottom fans and mediocre airflow behind the glass. The cheaper, newer O11 Vision-M delivers the same showcase look with better value and thermals.

The dual-chamber glass design is the previous generation's consensus and Lian Li itself is replacing the line with the O11 EVO RGB V2 unveiled at Computex 2026. Owners of the EVO RGB variant report it feels very cramped, with the GPU cable rubbing against the bottom fans, and airflow suffering behind the glass panels.

I have been looking at the O11 XL for over a year now. The EVO and your recommendations have definitely given me pause though. The best part is that my PC does sit to my left so I won’t have to awkwardly place my hardware for it to be seen. I like your video format but as a gamer I definitely still want a section dedicated to gaming performance and thermals while under load. Thanks for all you do!

The Lian Li O11 is one of the best PC cases we've worked with lately, and stands strong for gaming computers that are air-cooled or water-cooled. This Lian Li O11 Dynamic benchmark tests CPU + GPU temperatures and acoustics. Watch for more!

It is actually amazing what der8auer achieved here. He modified an existing Lian Li miditower case and it sells for 130$! With a watercooling capacity which is usually only available in Big Tower or Cube Case from Lian Li at prices 300$ upwards! I really hope he gets to work on a number of other Lian Li products!

The build is powered by a stylish and efficient Lian Li EDGE 1000W PSU and housed in the visually striking Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO RGB case. Airflow is optimized using Lian Li UNI FAN SL Wireless LCD fans — two kits of reverse 120mm intake fans for the bottom and side, plus one standard exhaust fan at the rear.

I think the o11 Dynamic should be the HC Case of the year. It is innovative, affordable, and super sexy. Plus it has a Type-C port and a USB 3.1 port. The dual chamber gives so many layout possibilities. I just got mine and it is incredible to build in because you have so many options!

Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO brings so much cooling power to your system (if you are into custom liquid cooling) that the possibilities are endless. Versitaility in O11 Dynamic EVO is not a strange thing with possibility to change the GPU position in three orientations, but also to change the whole interior layout.

I have the O11 non-XL and it’s really good. Seeing this makes me love the O11 series more. Only reason I didn’t get the XL was because the normal model would fit on my desk and the XL wouldn’t, but I’m not complaining, I’m happy with that I got right now.

The Lian Li O11 Dynamic Evo is an evolution of the wildly successful O11 Dynamic. While it may look similar and sports a comparable size, there are plenty of tweaks and updates within the Evo that improve over the original on nearly all functional areas.

It's a good looking case. Angling the fans for better airflow is a great idea. Also, I really like the movable IO from bottom to top. It's a feature I've only seen on the Lian Li cases.

Why it’s hot: The O11 platform remains the modder’s canvas . Dual-chamber, reversible layout , and room for three 360 mm radiators make it the darling of custom loop builds.

I have a Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO RGB CASE and Lian Li UNI FAN SL-INF 140mm I have a technical question regarding the installation of 3 X 140mm fans which are on the front, i.e. to the right of the motherboard.I can't screw more than 8 screws there because the upright bracket is a bit short.

Having used the Enthoo Luxe 2, this looks very similar. You can fit 3, or even 4 radiators in if you really want, so the O11 doesn't win there. The O11 wins by being just about the only case with a clear glass front, so your build is visible from two sides.

It ranks #22 of 29 on our PC cases tier list, in D tier. That placement draws on 38 cited sources across 24 outlets.

1 of the 36 sources with a clear view is critical of it: Lian Li PC Builds Facebook group. Owners report the case feels cramped, with the GPU cable rubbing against the bottom fans. Airflow is mediocre with the glass panel fitted. An older design still heavily upsold on the strength of the O11 name. Airflow suffers behind the glass panels. The line is being replaced by the O11 EVO RGB V2 with an adjustable motherboard tray and dedicated AIO chamber.

On our pc cases board, Lian Li O11 Vision-M ranks #12 (B tier) ahead of Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO at #22 (D tier). Lian Li O11 Vision-M: The fishtank done right: reviewers specifically praise its build quality and thermal balance, not just its looks. The rare glass showpiece that earns a pick under this lens where its larger O11 siblings do not.

On our pc cases board, NZXT H9 Flow (2025) ranks #20 (D tier) ahead of Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO at #22 (D tier). NZXT H9 Flow (2025): Heavily marketed fish-tank that no current consensus guide retrieved here features, while the same guides crown airflow-first alternatives. Buy the HAVN BF 360 Flow instead.
