Lian Li and PCMR Collaborate to Create PC-O11 Vision Chassis

[btarunr]

Lian Li collaborated with PC Master Race (PCMR) to create the PC-O11 Vision, a variation of the popular dual chambered case by Lian Li that's designed for maximum visibility of the internals of your build. The case features tempered glass on three of its sides—front, left side, and top—with no column along the front-left edge. The structure is held in place by a reinforced front-right column. The front- and left-side panels are made of 4 mm-thick glass, while the top is 3 mm thick. There are two variants of the PC-O11 Vision based on color—matte black, and white. The metal bits of the front panel feature a brushed aluminium finish.

The PC-O11 Vision has room for an E-ATX (or smaller) motherboard, with clearance for even the largest graphics cards such as the RTX 40-series ROG Strix. Cooling options include support for up to two 360 mm and one 240 mm radiators. A removable multi-function storage bracket provides three 2.5-inch drive mounts, and doubles up as a cable routing structure. There is an additional detachable drive cage that holds two 3.5-inch/2.5-inch drives. Available now in the UK through OverclockersUK, the black version of the PC-O11 Vision is priced at £139.98, and the white version £144.95, including VAT.

How many O11 variants are there now?

(Not that I'm complaining. I'm currently quite happy with the O11 Air Mini.)

 

[A Computer Guy]

My original O11D is pretty heavy with just two rads. Even though my distroplate acts as structural support if I center the weight of it incorrectly when putting it down I can feels the frame shift.
I can't imagine having to move this new variant fully loaded under the same weight.
Looks nice though. Wish they would make a front/top/side mesh variant.
I like how they moved away from the slotted design to the hexagons.

Up next, O11 Hotbox edition with all glass panels.

o11's are not a hotbox, they have really good airflow.

 

[TheDeeGee]

So that's like a Fractal Torrent but completely shit due to being limited to 120mm fans.

Got it!

You should tell that to my O11 XL Rog... If i apply the glass panels it's getting sick hot inside.

Lian Li's gotta act quickly since basically the entire chassis industry is ripping of their design and every possible derivative.

Agreed. My evo has no problems even with 2 rads.

I am very happy with my O11D Mini-X too.

Which components / fans configuration do you have? I have a xl too and I don't have many issues.

 

[FoulOnWhite]

Agreed. My evo has no problems even with 2 rads.

I had 2x 360 rads in mine with 6x120mm fans and it never got hot inside. There is the option for what, 10 fans, so setup right, not much chance of it been hot inside.

 

[gurusmi]

10* EKL Fans all around, one 360mm Rad. 3800X CPU, 5700X GPU no OC.

 

[cst1992]

Fail. Top panel needs air vents for air to exit. Hot air rises.

I love my O11 Dynamic Evo, but let's just say I wouldn't ever buy this.

 

[wolar]

Its a good case but i think the way nzxt did the angled side fans was a superior way to allow for bottom+side only ventilation.
Although i would argue its plenty airflow to have regardless.

 

[Mistral]

At what point are they going to start filling these with water..?

 

[niko17171]

Failure. The upper panel must have vents for the exhaust of air. Hot air rises.

I love the O11 Dynamic Evo, but let's just say I would never buy one.

I agree!
However, if a mesh option for the baking sheet comes out, I might buy it.

Where have I said that they're hotboxes?

 

[ITISTIME]

Another 011 variation

Another 011 variation

Pretty sure the sales figures are good for lian li, they must be doing something right. The o11D are good quality well made cases, when most are the usual tall rectangular box. Nothing wrong with improving a good case.

 

[cst1992]

Nothing wrong with improving a good case.

That's the point: it's not an improvement; it's just a variation.

The O11s are like Porsches at this point: more variations than anyone can remember (Coupes, Cabriolets, Targas, Hardtops, ...)

Edit: 911...O11... did someone leave Porsche and join Lian Li?

 

[bogami]

Oh nice, I will buy this one! Everything important visible and perfectly stored. Solutions of this kind have one of the best volume utilizations and if something is not possible it will be performed modding. This is what i was waiting for.

 

[TechLurker]

Honest to god, I'd like a modern case with all the bells and whistles that newer cases have, that didn't have a tempered glass side panel, but instead a mesh or solid panel with a 120 or 140mm fan spot. I know it's not going to happen given that it's probably cheaper to just keep to tempered glass aesthetic and just making the buyer put some kind of vinyl wrap or such to make it a pseudo-solid panel.

The only notable casemaker that still produces some is Phanteks, and a few of Fractal's cases. But most of the other casemakers have gone all-in on tempered glass sides.

Would it be so bad vinyled?

 

[TechLurker]

Eh, it's more that it's somewhat wasted, as one can't exactly cut a square into glass (compared to acrylic). At least a solid panel could be cut into to put in a 140mm fan for direct GPU cooling, or a mesh panel could allow for more breathability depending on fan setups, or could have additional fan mounts.

In my case, I'm already having to research cases with a solid side panel that I could buy a replacement of and tweak a bit to use as a replacement for the tempered-glass side.
