Lian Li LI PC-O11 Dynamic EVO Black ATX Full Tower Gaming Computer Case - O11DEX

The media could not be loaded. This is a great case for a show build, and flexible if you have specific needs like I do. I wanted a display case for my custom-built ATX 4090 / 5800X3D, but I don't have room on my desk for a typical right-side case. I needed a left build or something similar. I also needed something that would fit on the desk in a reasonable way and that wasn't too big. I looked at the Thermaltake 500. Looked cool, but the dimensions were a little off for my space, interior design seemed questionable in some ways, was a bit worried about the thermals, and read some negative reviews. Also looked at the Segotep T1. Again, not fully confident in the case and the size was a little too big. Lian Li has a great reputation, the size of the 011 Dynamic EVO was right (the XL looks amazing but BIG), and the needed accessories were reeadily available. I decided to go for it.I'm quite pleased with the end result, the case has incredible build quality, and looks awesome, BUT it was not an easy build for what I did (reverse build with upright GPU). That said, it did come out essentially perfect.I used the black 011 Dynamic EVO in reverse. Case set up was not too bad. Everything went in fine, but getting the GPU positioned and attached properly was a challenge. If you're looking to do the upright GPU, be sure you get the updated bracket (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C1Z2WVYM?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) and 600mm extension (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09XJRHYCT?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details). I also used a 16Pin Right Angle Adapter for the GPU (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BWDVC44J?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details). Made the job easier and looks better. For fans I went with the AsiaHorse Matrix (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08LQ9FKKJ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1) to add some side RGB and cut down on fan cables.Temps have been pretty good and equivalent to (if not below) the temps I was getting in the Corsair 4000D. Around 35c at idle and up to the 70s under load. Have the 3 bottom fans and rear fan on intake and the two AIO fans, plus 3 fans mounted behind the GPU set for exhaust. Cable mangement is good, everything fits including the hard drive cage. I did set the PSU on the bottom. Fixing the bottom bracket for that orientation in reverse was tough becuase the bracket doesnt have cut-outs for the screwdriver in that orientation. My GPU is an MSI Gaming X Trio and it fits fine, if snug. I did go with a 240 AIO because the 5800X3D runs cool and a longer AIO would be a tight fit with the GPU, but probably possible.All in all, I highly recommend this case but caution that it's not an easy build. If you want a really well-made case that's not enormous (like the 011 XL), especially one that can do a left-side build with an upright GPU, this is a great case. Go for it.

The media could not be loaded. Computer have gone a long way! Haven't owned a Lian Li since the PC 60! Installing the GPU Upright kit is a nightmare if you already have everything installed. I suggest doing it before everything else, including installing the PSU afterwards. Cable management is all confined to the read center piece allowing you to conceal a web of messes. The only real co plaint with installing the upright GPU is this simply. The entire hole for the top cable management to hide others becomes fully occupied by a PCI-E Riser cable. Expect outstanding ambient air drops on your gpus backplate, don't install the panel that is used to mount addition ssds and the GPU upright, use that space for fans! I'm using the Artic P12 aRGBs mostly in this case. Besides for the radiator for my EVGA RTX 3080 XC3 Hybrid Water Cooler as seen hiding the tubing the front. I also installed mostly pressure dynamic fans because their cfm is rated above 40 and they're pushing air harder through all components and radiators throughout the case. I did notice a negative 10 degree celiua drop on my CPU loads! It's throttling between 35-40 standard, 50 C gaming on ultra with and performance boosts no oc. 70 c under stress testing. Great thermal dynamics with Artic products throughout the case. As for the GPU. Wow!!! 28 under no Boost locking, 30-40 gaming water cooled. Amazing case.

Not one complaint. Enough room for a beefy GPU and a 360mm AIO. With 6 intake and 4 exhaust fans, I haven't had an issue with cooling either.

If you're going with a monstrous build this generation, perhaps a 420mm AIO, make sure you know everything will fit beforehand! Although I love this case and its ease of building inside of it, I can't help but feel the XL would make fitting those much larger components even easier! 420mm AIOs will NOT fit in this case unless you do some modifying on your own, which is quite disappointing. With my Arctic Freezer II top mounted, it was less than a quarter inch away from fitting flush inside the case depth-wise, which kind of just seems like an oversight. With that said, if you aren't looking at putting massive AIOs in here, you will have no problems whatsoever putting any GPU or CPU cooler you'd like in it.

The modularity with the Evo is unbelievable. I’ve had it normally oriented, then switched to inverted orientation. I had my EVGA 3080ti FTW3 vertical, normal, and settled on upright. I have two psu’s in the back. Cable management is so simple, especially with the Lian Li AL fans being daisy chained creating only one simple connection for three to four fans. You can get an extra I/o port if you want and mount it up top or on the bottom of the case. You can replace the front glass panel with a mesh front and add an additional three fans if you want. I managed to fit a push pull setup behind my gpu. It’s just a lot of fun and the inverted and upright gpu orientation is not for laughs, it brought the best temperatures for me throughout. Also, adding the larger pci riser from Lian Li cleaned the case up even more. I plan to throw a liquid cooling loop in it later on.

Still a work in progress, but the Lian Li 011 Dynamic Evo is legendary in the community for a reason. So many choices when configuring your own build. Lian Li goes above and beyond supplying the customer with all the accessories you could think of to make this case your own. Everything right down to the fit of the thumb screws feels premium. Lian Li can help you achieve your vision, all at a reasonable price. 10/10 would recommend!
