LIAN LI Launches the O11D EVO XL PC Case

LIAN LI Industrial Co. Ltd., a leading manufacturer of chassis and PC accessories, launches the ultimate O11D chassis with the O11D EVO XL. Inspired by the popular O11D EVO, the EVO XL adds features such as: simultaneous support for 3x 420 radiators, a height-adjustable and fully removable motherboard tray, a removable front pillar, improved support for upright GPU mounting on the side fan/radiator bracket, and redesigned cable management and storage solution.

The O11D EVO XL also keeps the unique features of the O11D EVO, with the ability to reverse the case and a relocatable front I/O module. The O11D EVO XL is available in black and white at an MSRP of $234.99 and $244.99 respectively.
Cooling Performance
The O11D EVO XL is designed with cooling performance in mind. Starting with the motherboard tray, a modular piece that can be quickly removed for ease of installation, it can be height adjusted into 3 positions (high, middle, and low) to provide better fan/radiator clearance at the top or bottom. The top, bottom, and side brackets of the O11D EVO XL can each support 3x 140 mm fans / 420 mm radiators simultaneously for extreme cooling performance. Each radiator bracket can be quickly removed for ease of installation. With the motherboard in lower mode, the rear of the case can support up to 2x 120 mm fans.

Easy Customization
The O11D EVO XL is the ideal showcase chassis with its removable front pillar. Without the front pillar and side bands on the front and side tempered glass panels, users benefit from an unrestricted view of the PC. The EVO XL also supports the ability to be fully reversible and features a relocatable I/O module with 3 supported locations (front, side and rear). Furthermore, with the use of additional accessories, users can change their GPU mounting location to either vertical or upright. The optional upright GPU mounting kit is redesigned to accommodate larger GPUs of up to 358 mm in length and 80 mm in thickness. The kit is affixed to the side fan/radiator bracket instead of the frame, allowing mounting of the GPU outside of the case, and offering the ability to locate the GPU I/O at the top or bottom depending on the user's preference.

Additional Features
Located in the second chamber, the O11D EVO XL features 2x hot-swap storage drive cages, each supporting up to 2x 3.5" HDDs or 2x 2.5" SSDs. The cages are mounted on hinges which allow them to swivel away from the frame and provide easier access to the mounting trays. Each drive cage can be equipped with a 15 mm thick 120 mm fan to provide extra cooling to the drives. And for cable management, the cable cover bar is also on hinges for quick access and the O11D EVO XL comes equipped with 3 dual-layer cable clips that can be mounted anywhere along vertical grommets pass through. Featuring a C shape and a similar mounting mechanism as SSDs, the concave part of the clip can hold the large bulk of cables coming from the PSU and front IO, while the Velcro strap on top of the clip is ideal for fan cable management.

Availability
The O11D EVO XL is available for pre-order on September 7th, 2023, at an MSRP of $234.99 for the black, and $244.99 for the white.

I already dislike moving around a fully loaded 011D with two rads I can't imagine lugging this around outside fully loaded every time I need to hit it with an air duster but it seems like an awesome case.

I've been waiting for this because of where I keep my case being able to reverse it and fit all my stuff. I just hope the prices where I am aren't gouged too much.

I got rid of my o11D as it was not big enough for my loop, might be interested in this.

Yea it's pretty limiting to fit more rads in that if you got the EK distroplate. I managed to fit a xspc thin 360 in the side compartment with a bit of work and some special offset fittings.

I have a EK XE 360x60 and PE 360x45, it was a squeeze with pump etc. Looked at the web page for this and it does look very nice. I like the look with the centre pillar removed too. Got a 7000D now which is good, but did like the O11D

Hey Lian Li - try making a version of the O11 that's designed to lay flat and prioritizes flow-through like the O11 Air did. Then you might get my money. GPUs are getting heavier and I like the idea of them not imparting shear force on the board for years on end, or relying on standoffs cables. The most elegant solution is a horizontally-oriented case.

Doesn’t the vertical/upright mount resolve that issue? Agree about the glass front but then again idk why you’d buy this case unless you needed the radiator space

I respect it. They must be selling well, why not just reiterate using the same name and being explicit about changes rather than reiterating and slapping a new name on the box?

The layout is fine, but I can't help but think this case has put on a fair amount of weight (dimension wise) for no real reason.

Whatever floats your boat.

Looking at the different models you can see them making incremental improvements. I really like the Lian Li 011 Air Mini and want to try a build in one and see if you can really fit 3 rads in that thing with an ATX.

Honestly if the Air Mini (properly) fit a EATX board I think I'd have built in that, compact, great airflow, what else do you want?

Talking about Airflow, mesh front is AOL on this?
