Lian Li PC-O11- Dynamic

Bulky brilliance

WE’VE COVETED AND recommended this case for some time, but it has a bit of a reputation among system builders as being, well, something of a cliche. Why? Mostly because it’s almost too good. In fact, it’s so good, and has received so many awards over the last couple of years, and been praised so much around the tech community for its incredible versatility, top-quality materials, and easy building experience, that it’s almost become a meme. “Oh, there’s another liquid-cooled Lian Li PC-O11-Dynamic build log, complete with the usual tubing runs, and distribution plate setup.”

That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but when you’re on the hunt for engaging builds and a sense of exclusivity and achievement, building in a chassis that everyone else has done to death can be off-putting. That’s not to say, however, that it isn’t a fantastic case. And, let’s face it, we are getting side-tracked here, and being perhaps too nitpicky.
