LIAN LI Industrial Co. Ltd., a leading manufacturer of chassis and PC accessories, has introduced the latest model to its O11 series of PC cases with the O11 Vision Compact. Developed in collaboration with PC Master Race (PCMR), the O11 Vision Compact is a refinement of the previous O11 Vision. It maintains the 3-sided tempered glass showcase style while adding a top mesh panel and bracket for top cooling options. With a fixed motherboard tray and a more compact design, the O11 Vision Compact can support back-connect ATX motherboards. It features a large grommet passthrough for AIO radiators to connect to a side-mounted radiator in the second chamber. The O11 Vision Compact even integrates a rear passthrough for an internal IPS display, which can be easily mounted above the motherboard. The O11 Vision Compact is available in black and white at an MSRP of $119.99.

Two Configurations
The O11 Vision Compact now includes a top mesh option for excellent airflow in addition to the top glass configuration. The top glass mode provides a completely unobstructed view of the system with top, front, and left-side tempered glass panels. The magnetic mounting key in the top left corner performs double duty, securing the mesh configuration top bracket to the front glass, and with top glass, holding the three glass panels together with 35 kg of supporting force.

The O11 Vision Compact adds back-connect motherboard support for the least amount of wiring clutter. A new cutout and grommet passthrough allow an AIO CPU block to connect to a side-mounted radiator in the second chamber, hiding the AIO tubing through the grommet and routing channels to the radiator. In addition, it includes a pre-installed GPU anti-sag support bracket that's easily height adjustable to help heavy graphics cards stay perfectly horizontal. Lastly, a passthrough grommet has been implemented on the rear panel to support IPS display cables to directly connect to the GPU or motherboard rear I/O.

Optimal Airflow
The removable bottom and side brackets function as intake, each fitting 3x 120 mm fans or a 360 mm AIO, and the side bracket is reversible for either 36 mm or 110 mm clearance to the GPU. The rear panel acts as exhaust and fits 2x 120 mm fans, for a strong positive pressure build in the full glass configuration. In the alternate top mesh configuration, the top bracket can accommodate either 2x 140 mm fans, 3x 120 mm fans, or a 360 mm AIO, allowing for a chimney-style airflow pattern while maintaining positive pressure.

Engineered for High-Performance Hardware
The O11 Vision Compact can handle large components, including E-ATX motherboards (under 280 mm), 408 mm long GPUs, and clearance for CPU air coolers up to 167 mm in height. It can fit 4 x 2.5" SSDs, or 2x SSDs and 2 x 3.5" HDDs in the second chamber. With wide hardware support and iterative refinements, the unique triple-sided glass will show your build in the best light.

Strong Focus on Cable Management
The second chamber has a cable cover held in place by magnets. Two removable dual-layer cable clips hold PSU and fan wiring, and 6 more velcro strips manage case cables in the chamber. The area is made easily accessible by removing the dual HDD/SDD cages, and the individual cages may be left out of the build to free up space and make back-connect wiring easier. The PSU bracket protrudes 15 mm for more internal cabling room, and keeps the same easy side slide-in design of the O11 Vision.

Availability
The O11 Vision Compact is available on October 11th, 2024. The black version and white version are at an MSRP of $119.99.
