The Lian Li O11 series has seen constant, meaningful tweaks and changes over the years, which is impressive considering these cases are all based on the brands own tooling. That continues to hold true with the O11 Vision Compact, but even so, the case as you see it has a very attractive MSRP of $120. While there may be cheaper dual-chamber options out there - as that has become a very popular form factor in recent years, those will likely cut corners to achieve such a price point.

We really tried finding fault within the Lian Li O11 Vision Compact, and we clearly failed. The biggest gripe we have is the GPU support kept sliding down under the weight of the GPU, which is unfortunate. On top of that, it would have been really useful if the chassis still included a reset button. But besides that, every single aspect of the enclosure works and does so well. Lastly, some may miss the subtle ARGB element that can be found on some O11 variants, but this is purely cosmetic.

Keep in mind, that is with Lian Li designing every single aspect in house, with its own tooling. It offers uncompromising liquid cooling capabilities with unique tube routing for even cleaner looks, easily accessible storage, effortless cable management and tons of space for all manner of hardware.

Pair that with the unique, magnetic pyramid with its triple glass panel configuration and the fact that Lian Li goes the extra mile to include a vented top for you to choose from. It is apparent that the dedication and consistent innovation of the O11 series is really paying off, making the O11 Vision Compact a gorgeous dual-chamber case which will likely stay relevant and useful to you for hardware generations to come.
