Lian Li Unveils PC-O11 Dynamic EVO Cases

Lian Li today unveiled the PC-O11 Dynamic EVO line of premium mid-tower cases. These cases retain the characteristic vertically-partitioned design of the original PC-O11 Dynamic, but with a twist—the case is now "reversible." You can orient the case such that its motherboard tray faces the left or with a little DIY modifications, such as swapping around its body panels, you can reorient it to point right (BTX style). This happens without having to turn the case turtle, and ends up looking neat, with its top and bottom panels not looking out of place. A video embedded below shows you how this works.

The PC-O11 Dynamic EVO comes in three trims—"Modern Black," "Pure White," and "Harbor Grey." The first one is a sober matte trim of black with gloss added by the tempered glass panels, and a brushed aluminium strip running across the front. "Pure White" is white all around, paired with clear glass panels. "Harbor Grey" is a two-tone scheme, with solid grey taking up the panels along the smaller compartment. The case offers a plethora of ventilation options, which include three 360 mm radiator mounts (top, bottom, and inter-compartment); and a 120 mm rear exhaust.

Note: We posted our in-depth review of the Lian-Li PC-O11 Dynamic EVO earlier today.
Storage options with the Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic EVO include a total of eleven 2.5-inch drive mounts. These include four along the bottom panel, and seven behind the motherboard tray, along the partition. The partition also features a "spinal" column that helps you conceal key cables, such as the 24-pin ATX, EPS, and PCIe power cables. The only lighting included with the case is an addressable-RGB light strip that runs vertically along the partition as viewed from the front panel. The smaller compartment is designed such, that a dual-PSU setup can be created. The motherboard tray has innovations such as the ability to reorient the vertical add-on card slots to create more airflow between the bottom-mounted fans and a graphics card oriented vertically, using a separately purchased "upright GPU kit." The case measures (D) 465 mm × (W) 285 mm × (H) 459 mm.


The base price of the case is $150, the vertical GPU kit, including the riser cable costs $80; the Upright GPU Kit (including riser) costs $80; the additional I/O kit, which adds more USB connectivity to the front-panel, costs $19; the front mesh kit that replaces the front glass panel with an airy mesh, costs $20; while the top-I/O plate costs $13.

Very clever. The add ons how ever, are a tad bit expensive. Never the less this will be a big hit.

Very impressed with lian li. They could honestly have just used the original o11d and milked that design forever. But they are chosing to inovate an already good design. More companies should be encouraged to do this.
