LIAN LI O11 Dynamic
With an innovative dual chamber design, the O11 Dynamic helps you build a clean rig by hiding power supply, cables and drives in the compartment behind the motherboard tray. It also features ample inner space, premium craftsmanship, and tempered glass panels on the front and left side for a fancy, artistic look. Magnetic filters keep dust out and makes cleanup a breeze. If you're looking for a full-featured case that can handle it all from mild to wild, look no further.

Pros: Looks great. Simple, boxy, minimal. Brushed aluminum accent has a subtle blurred reflection. Glass offers a great view of interior, no staring at a pointless PSU shroud 1cm from the glass, instead your eyes are filled with hardware. The glass panels do not mount with big bulky screws on every corner, but rather slot into place with the top panel securing it all down. Even the case feet follow the simple aesthetic. The use of space is impressive as you can possibly fit x3 360mm radiators at once. Power supply mounted behind motherboard opens up possibility to mount fans at the bottom directly under a video card. Can fit x9 120mm fans OR x6 120mm fans and x2 140mm fans. When I pre-ordered there were shipping charges, but when payment was charged the shipping was free.
Cons: My case arrived with one of the fasteners from the top panel broken off inside it. Still usable without it as there are 6 more fasteners though. If you want fans on the bottom and you have a USB 3.0 header on the bottom of your motherboard you'll not be able to use it unless you order a low-profile 20-pin internal USB 3.0 extension ($15.00 from modmymods, similar prices from china sellers). There are no cable tie points on the floor of the case. Side panel window wasn't completely flush against the front window. I had to cram something under the side window to push it against the front window as there was a gap between them at the bottom. Stiff tubing pressing against the side panel glass slowly began to separate the lower-front corner of the glass from the metal which fastens it to the case. I found the metal is affixed to the glass with double-sided foam tape and it isn't difficult to pry apart. I took off the metal from the side of the glass that was pealing apart, scraped off the foam tape, and re-affixed it together with 3M VHB. It seems a little more secure now, but I'm still paranoid about that corner peeling off. Like many cases the power LED is a blindingly bright blue LED shining through clear plastic with no diffusion so I unplugged it entirely along with the HDD activity. There is space for two 80mm fans at the back, but no mounting points so you'd have to zip tie them. Some such complaints are being addressed in the O11-AIR. It's possible that the O11-DYNAMIC may receive such revisions. The white version could certainly use some white borders on the outside of the tinted glass over the black borders, as well as a diffused white power LED. PCI brackets do not use thumbscrews. The slots that the tabs on PCI brackets slot into are not tight enough thus can cause significant GPU sag. To keep the case from being "too wide" some width was sacrificed in the main chamber so check your GPU water block compatibility. Generally, if your video card has a wide PCB a standard water block will be too wide unless you can use some adapter to narrow it. At the time of this review the case (especially in white) is rarely if ever in stock. The Q&A section has been full of poor souls asking when it will stock unable to get their hands on it.
Overall Review: I luckily pre-ordered the case in white. Oddly the pre-order button only appeared when I was logged out of Newegg and disappeared when logged in. So I had to add the pre-order to the cart then log in to finish it. Small front glass can be difficult to remove. I have a method that makes it come out easy for me. 1. Place case on floor or table with sides removed. - 2. Press one hand against inside and other hand against outside of the front glass panel (sandwich grip). - 3. If case is empty/light bend down pressing your chest against the top of the case holding it down as you lift the glass upward. Front glass panel should come out. I personally think the unobstructed side+front window approach is superior to a top+side windowed case such as the TT View 37 since I'm usually viewing the case on my desk from a sitting position thus not looking from the top. You can fit a really thick 360mm radiator at the top, but I'd advise against it if you want to mount a longer reservoir upright on the bottom. I removed the positional bracket under the PSU as well as the HDD bay for more space to stuff cables into. If you get any fancy PSU cable extensions or RGB fans they add a ton of bulk to deal with, but the case has a lot of room back there. Steel case is much heavier than Lian Li's typical aluminum builds, but that is the sacrifice for making the price affordable. Steel is also better if your motherboard came with a wi-fi antenna that sticks to the case with magnets as those won't stick to aluminum cases. The front audio ports are not discernible from each other which is fine aesthetically, but if you wanted to know: the top jack is microphone, bottom jack is headphones. There's a small rubber block included with double-sided tape on one side. May be it's for hanging your headphones on, but the tape on it does not appear strong enough to do that. Maybe they should just offer a magnetic puck for that.
