Lian Li Partners with Razer for Special Edition PC-O11 Dynamic Designed by Razer Chassis

[Raevenlord]

Lian Li Industrial Co. Ltd., world's leading manufacturer of aluminum chassis for enthusiasts, custom OEM/ODM case solutions and case accessories in partnership with Razer, the world's leading lifestyle brand for gamers, is proud to announce the launch of a special edition PC-011 Dynamic chassis. The PC O11-Dynamic Razer Edition is co-designed and co-developed with the Razer team to be the world's first chassis with full-integration with Synapse 3 and full Chroma capabilities.





Co-Designed with Razer
Team Razer and Lian Li worked hand-in-hand in redesigning the PC-O11 Dynamic to give it the signature Razer touch along with full support for Razer's Synapse and Chroma technologies. This allows the PC-O11 Dynamic to compliment gamer systems that take advantage of the Razer peripherals.

The PC-O11 Dynamic Designed by Razer Edition features a couple of upgrades over the standard PC-O11 Dynamic chassis: integrated Chroma RGB lighting in the front trim and bottom provide striking LED lighting. Lian Li and Team Razer also included full support for Razer's Synapse 3 configuration utility as well as Razer's Chroma technology which fully syncs all supporting hardware's lighting. The final touch is the Razer logo added on the face of the chassis, leaving the iconic branding to serve as a mark for gamers.

"We're excited to partner with Lian Li on the Razer case design program" said Razer Co-Founder and CEO Min-Liang Tan. "The O11 Dynamic Designed by Razer will be the first ever PC case that is Synapse 3 enabled with full Razer Chroma lighting capabilities"

Excellent Customization Support
The Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic is a reimagination of the original PC-O11, taking in what made the chassis great and improving upon them and also introducing some new features. The new PC-O11 Dynamic boasts a simpler yet smarter layout that makes planning and building your system and watercooling an enjoyable task. The new internal layout personifies the name of the product the best with Lian Li introducing a revised drive caddy for drive placements, a cable bar to manage cables and make your cabling more visually pleasing as well as expansion support for up to two power supply units (PSU).

Cool It Your Way with Expansive Radiator Placements
A watercooling enthusiasts best friend, the PC-O11 Dynamic by Lian Li features support for up to three 360mm radiators. Create an intricate yet powerful watercooling loop that can tame even the most powerful systems you can think of all in a single, easy-to-maintain chassis. The excellent airflow design compliments all radiator placements and will provide optimal airflow from the rear and bottom of the chassis.

Excellent Support for Modern Systems
Lian Li's forward thinking has made the PC-O11 Dynamic chassis a highly adaptable product with support for today's high-end standards. The PC-O11 Dynamic features USB 3.1 Type-C out of the box with a compatible front panel header to support modern devices as well as traditional SuperSpeed USB3.0 ports in the front panel. This removes the need to reach over to the back of your motherboard to connect your devices. Lian Li supports motherboards up to EATX standard size. The motherboard tray on the PC-O11 Dynamic is extended and is angled on the far-end to provide a more visually-pleasing passthrough for your cables via the grommet holes.

The Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic Designed by Razer Edition will be available in Q4 2018.

Air flow must suck in this case.

Looks like there's 3x120 intakes on the right side, didn't see them at first.

I saw those, but think that limits where the case can stand, particularly if you like to see the "pretty" side.
Also the air flow doesn't have a direct path.

 

[micropage7]

their intake from the right side so the case got airflow from the right side

Actually my components are quite cool in this case. I have bottom intake, top exhaust.

As long as you keep it more than a couple of inches from a wall, you should be fine. Direct airflow path doesn't really matter much, as long as you have sufficient intake fans to ensure that air is actually moving through the case. Also, as mentioned above, there are plenty of fan mounts and large openings in the top and bottom.


I'm kind of surprised that nobody has called out the silly "Designed by Razer" bollocks. Apparently "design" in the world of Razer amounts to glueing on a logo sticker, two LED strips, and sticking an off-the-shelf internal USB RGB controller into the case. That doesn't quite amount to "design" in my world.

Its all about the *experience* man. Razer is providing you that premium gamer feel. Please login first though.

And no, I didn't respond to it yet because frankly if it says Razer any attention is a waste of time You just know you're getting ripped off.

Mostly true. Their mice and keyboards are not at all bad (though I did see a rather worrying amount of RMAs in my time selling them), but they're rather overhyped. I suppose they're owed some credit for more or less pioneering the over-the-top GAMING BRAND ZOMG image. The appeal of that (and its effect on sales) is indisputable.

LOL. This reads as 'They're not bad'... except for being crap quality. That's Razer in a nutshell indeed

You're right though they did pioneer the 'design' ideas. I just never, not even when I was much younger, saw the appeal, all I saw was weird products with a form over function approach

The funny thing is, both their mice and keyboards in the early 2010s were rather subdued in design, with clean lines and matte black finishes - most didn't even have lights in the green logo, and it was usually small.

Then someone discovered cheap RGB LED controllers, and they've apparently never looked back.

As for "they're not bad, just kinda crap quality": yep, that's mostly right. They used to be reasonably well designed (at least for my mostly minimalist tastes) and work well for their purpose, with a decent balance of features, software and functionality, but the underlying engineering, materials and manufacturing had some obvious issues. They even managed the impressive feat of making sleeved mouse cables that wear out quicker than the average plain rubber one. Probably went for the cheapest rubber and sleeving they could find. On the other hand, they used to be expensive, but these days everyone seems to have caught up with them in that field.

 

[Totally]

What did they design? Only thing diff from the original and the later gamer/oc-minded v.2 is that they threw their logo on it with a splash of rgb.
