Features & Specifications

Lian Li’s latest case offering, the PC-O11 Dynamic, is a gorgeous chassis with large tempered glass panels, outstanding water cooling support, and a surprisingly reasonable price tag of $99.

Exterior

Sharp eyed readers will remember that the Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic was awarded our «Best Value PC Case» award at CES 2018 earlier this year. This chassis, designed in collaboration with renowned extreme-overclocker Roman “Der8auer” Hartung, features steel-and-tempered-glass construction, with a brushed-aluminum accent panel. The chassis measures 450 x 275 x 450mm (L x W x H), is painted black inside and out, and weighs in at just under 22lbs.

The top of the chassis is flat and, with the exception of a 5 by 15-inch row of ventilation slots, is featureless. There are no handles, buttons, slots or ports on the top if the PC-O11 Dynamic. The aforementioned slotted vents span almost the entire length of the left-hand side of the chassis, front to back.

The right-hand side of the front of the chassis is covered by a brushed aluminum panel that is home to two USB 3.0 ports, microphone and headphone jacks, a power button, and a single USB Type-C port. The majority of the front of the case is covered by a 420 x 220 x 4mm tinted tempered glass panel.

The fact that this chassis is equipped with a full-cover tempered glass side panel isn’t anything special, many cases these days have one or more glass panels. But It’s the rather ingenious way the tempered glass panels are attached to the case that make this chassis stand out. The tempered glass panels can only be detached once the top panel has been removed. This clever design minimizes the possibility of dropping a glass panel during installation or maintenance, and the lack of traditional thumbscrew fasteners gives the PC-O11 Dynamic a sleek and stylish look.

Those of you concerned about airflow need only to look at the panel on the opposite side of the case, where you’ll find slotted vents, identical to those on the top panel, covering both the front and back of the stamped-steel panel. Just as with the glass panels, the top panel has to be removed in order to gain access for cleaning and maintenance.

The rear of the chassis is home to eight expansion card slots, a motherboard I/O area in the center, a mounting location for a bottom-mounted PSU, as we as an opening for two 3.5″ hard drives (or a secondary power supply). The bottom of the case has three filter-covered mounting locations for 120mm fans, as well as four large, rubber-lined plastic feet.

The PC-O11 Dynamic features a solid fan filtration system. Every intake fan mounting location in this chassis is equipped with a large washable magnetic filter. Overall, these filters do a good job preventing dirt and dust particles from entering your system.

Layout, design and features exterior …

After removing the packaging and the foils, the Lian Li Dynamic XL ROG is revealed in all its glory. We see the polished aluminum cover of the front panel along with the recessed glass. If you look closely, you can see a small white stripe between the glass and the front panel and that is the ROG aRGB illuminated bar.

Let’s take this opportunity to go directly into the details of the front panel: Here we find the power button with a border that glows blue and flashes red when SSD/HDD is active, below it the reset button, 2x USB 3.0 Type-A, headphone and microphone port, USB-C and two buttons for adjusting the colors and modes of the ARGB LED bar. There are two additional USB 3.0 Type-A connections in the base of the tower. This is very handy when the PC is on the table, so that the USB cables do not hang down from the front.

The left side panel is completely made of glass and reveals the interior and motherboard. In addition, the golden ROG Certified symbol is emblazoned in the lower left corner.

The right side panel is made of aluminum and has some vents.

Due to the thickly folded edges, this is nevertheless very stable and torsion-resistant. The magnetic air filters are also located here. Two steel strips are riveted next to the ventilation slots so that they stay on the aluminum. These also provide further stability.

The removable covers of the exchangeable HDD and SSD trays as well as the cutout for the power supply are on the back. The lower tray can also be removed and supplemented with a second PSU if you prefer to use two redundant PSUs.

And this is how the back looks without the covers.

The lid is equipped with further air slots. To remove the lid, you have to press a small release slide. Without this, the lid, which is fixed with thumbscrews, cannot be removed.

The lid is also made of aluminum and is not magnetic. Therefore, the magnetic air filter is placed directly on the steel sheet of the housing.

There is an additional filter in the bottom that can be pulled out for cleaning.
