This Case Does EVERYTHING - Lian Li O11 Mini Review

[Gav]

The Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini is the compact ATX case we've been waiting for. In this review of the O11 Mini we take a look at how it can function as an ITX case and ATX case with very few sacrifices. We also go through the O11 Mini size, dimensions, airflow characteristics, price and availability since this might be one of the best PC cases of 2020. But how is the PC O11 Mini vs O11 Dynamic competition?

I'm not crazy about that dust filter and the feet from the large window side. Really messes with the clean look of the case

I do think this is a great case that will serve many people well, but it is 100% not for me.

My biggest issue is that a case that large should most definitely fit an ATX PSU.

Otherwise I just find it in a bit of an odd spot. It reasonably sized for an ATX board, but it looks somewhat cramped with it in there. And it is way to large for an ITX build (IMO). That really leaves it as a mATX case that requires an SFX PSU.

I am sure others will disagree with me, but as much as I like much of the design idea, it just doesn't do anything for me when I think about it practically.

it's hideous. but then I like utilitarian design. simple, no flash / panache. looks good, but functions better.

Interesting to see the evolution of the case. Considering how many check boxes the original and XL hit for people I always wondered why they didn't make a smaller one. The modular back plane seems like an opportunity for a nicer vertical GPU mount.

For those guys wanting a high performance micro ATX setup maybe this is the a good choice? I don't like that the glass panels slide up so easy. I'd rather them be secured.
