Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO grau, Glasfenster

Der Name des Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO verrät schon, dass es sich um eine Weiterentwicklung des bekannten Gehäuses handelt. Weiterhin vorhanden ist viel Platz für Hardware, aber Wert wurde vor allem auf eine großmögliche Flexibilität gelegt. Neben vielen Umbaumöglichkeiten und optionalem Zubehör kann das Gehäuse im "Reverse Mode" sogar komplett spiegelverkehrt konfiguriert werden.

The Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO is an (E-)ATX compatible mid-tower chassis 465 × 285 × 459 (L×W×H). The build quality is excellent. It looks excellent also, thanks to two-glass panels. You get no fans; it’s up to you to choose/buy them. There’s an option to install a combo of 360+360+360 mm water radiators. If you prefer air cooling – even the 167 mm products will fit (and that’s a significant improvement vs. 155 in the predecessor). As for the power supply – theoretically, it’s 220 mm (so I think all used PSUs would work). Speaking of the storage options – you can mount up to six 3.5” or eleven 2.5” drives. Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO has a flexible design that allows users to flip the top and bottom panels for upside-down or traditional orientation is just the beginning of the options this unique chassis supports. There is an option of changing the position of the I/O panel, adding another one, placing the GPU vertically or upright, or adding a front mesh panel. It’s a good pick if you’re looking for maximum visibility for your system innards; modest builds may want a model that allows for more cover-up.

When the Lian Li O11 Dynamic first launched in 2018, we recommended it, but were disappointed by the limited support for air-coolers and lack of fans, but the case otherwise left a great impression. A lot can happen in the span of three years, and AIOs are everywhere nowadays while custom cooling loops are also quite popular for both system integrators and individual DIY builders. The Lian Li O11 Dynamic Evo may clock in at around $40 more than the original, but the long list of improvements it provides is a testament of the overall evolution of the O-Series as a whole over the years. Lian Li has managed to improve air-cooler compatibility so that fans of large air coolers may also take full advantage of the O11 Dynamic Evo—long story short, the interior has been tweaked and improved upon on every front. The built-in ability to rotate the layout, massive increase and flexibility in potential storage, ARGB lighting control, uniquely cohesive details like the I/O panel that may be re-positioned, and power button that wraps around the corner of the case all shows that the O11 Dynamic Evo truly deserves its name. All that dedication to engineering essentially leaves nothing to be desired besides some users maybe wanting the chassis to come with active cooling, so you should consider that as part of your BOM for your system. Even so, pricing is perfectly fine. Ultimately, the Lian Li O11 Dynamic Evo is a nearly perfect all-rounder that caters to air, AIO, and custom cooling fans alike.
