Specification and features

Some marketing info first, the model was officially introduced on 17th December 2021:

“LIAN LI Industrial Co. Ltd., a leading manufacturer of chassis and PC accessories, announces the evolution of the O11 series with the O11 Dynamic EVO. Available in Black, White, or Harbor Grey, the O11D EVO introduces innovative features such as a reversible design to give users the option to display the PC on the left or right, more extensive components support, and improved cooling with 140mm fan support on all sides, a moveable modular I/O, as well as an array of accessories which improve cooling performance and customizes the aesthetic of the system. Inspired by previous designs of the O11D series and continuing on the collaboration with Der8auer, the O11D EVO’s final form is a result of community feedback.

Normal Mode – Reversible Mode
Without additional accessories, the O11D EVO offers the possibility to reverse the orientation of the chassis. The clever modularity and symmetrical design of the case allow the bottom part to be installed at the top and all internals to be flipped, thus achieving a system that can be placed on the left side of the user while keeping the showcase feature classic to the O11D series.

Powerful Hardware and Cooling Ready
More comprehensive and efficient cooling solutions become necessary to keep up with the increasing requirement of new CPUs and GPUs. The O11D EVO can support CPU coolers up to 167mm in height and graphics cards up to 422mm in length. Each top, side, and bottom bracket can support up to 3x 120mm or 2x 140mm fans. For ease of installation, the top and bottom brackets can slide out of their mounting location and are interchangeable. In contrast, the side bracket can be flipped, via the release of a toolless latch, to adjust the clearance with top and bottom mounted hardware. In addition, a second PSU can be installed in the second chamber of the O11D EVO by removing the drive cage.

Customizable I/O Location and More
All I/O ports have been moved to an independent I/O module that can be quickly relocated to the bottom front, left, or right side of the case. This maintains a minimalist design on the front panel, which now only features a power button that wraps around the edge and can be pressed from both sides. The O11D EVO features a built-in ARGB strip along the edge of the front glass panel. Controlled via the side panel LED buttons, the light strip supports motherboard sync mode and is compatible with the UNI HUB for L-Connect software control.

5 Additional Accessories
The O11D EVO is capable of even more with the addition of a wide selection of accessories.

Upright GPU Kit
The additional upright GPU kit is available for users seeking a unique mounting GPU option — upright beside their motherboard. This position opens the main chamber and creates an unrestricted chimney-style configuration for custom water cooling or using AIOs. The kit comes with a PCIe 4.0 riser cable and an adjustable brace mechanism that helps keep thick or thin water-cooled GPUs sturdy.

Front Mesh Kit
For power users requiring improved performance, the front mesh panel kit turns the O11D EVO’s front panel into a large air intake surface. It allows for mounting 3x120mm or 2x 140mm fans, creating a straight-through airflow that will improve CPU cooling performance and direct fresh air access to upright GPUs.

Vertical GPU Kit
Designed especially for the O11D EVO, the Vertical GPU Kit can be installed in a lower or higher position to offer more clearance at the bottom of the case. In the down position, up to 50mm of clearance is available for radiators and fans; in the higher place, a total of 90mm is available. The kit includes a PCIe 4.0 riser cable.

Top I/O Kit
Designed for users who prefer to keep their computer case on the floor, the top I/O kit uses the I/O ports from the original module and relocates them to the top aluminum strip for easier access.

Additional I/O Kit
Ideal for users who prefer to have their peripherals or dongles connected at the front, the Additional I/O Kit adds 2 USB 3.0 Type-A ports and a USB 3.1 Type C port.”
