Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO

Yeah, they basically made it a little wider and made the side radiator mount more flexible.

And that pretty much took care of all the flaws of the OG dynamic without going too large like the XL.
 
Meh. Doesn't seem like enough to justify a purchase from an 011 XL. I'm still waiting for the Lian LI V3000..
 
Personally I'm already tired of seeing these cases, and TBH, the changes in this are pretty useless. Outside the inverting function, things like the new GPU mount is such a joke. Go watch bitwits video on it any real GPU in there is damn near impossible, and it looks horrible with the riser. I think they hit the nail on the head with the mini air (ATX PSU). And should have stopped there.
 
Bigger size is welcome. Also one of the reasons why I never went Lian Li. 11 D was too small and 11 D XL was a monstrosity. This feels just like the right size.

I love my XL. Supports two full size rads. If you're not going custom water then the little one is fine. I managed to cram a full water setup in my kiddos standard model, but it was a pita, and only has a single 360 RAD.
 
I do need space for 2 rads as I want to put my 3090 under water again. Been waiting for this case for a long time. Need to get the mesh kit with it as well. Will put CPU rad on top and GPU rad on back panel. Pull air in from the front and bottom. Should be decent air flow with 6 in 6 out.
 
You can fit 3 x 360 rads in the OG O11D. I had 2 x 360 and a 360mm distribution plate no problems. At this point though, definitely get the evo version.

Add in RGB cabling and it will be one cramped mofo. I think this EVO might be just what the doctor ordered. Thinking about making a 12700K w/ Strix mobo DDR4 computer and 3090 Ti or whatever is the new omgrafix. For shits and kicks.
 
Honestly there's plenty of room, but for sure, grab the evo at this point.

EDIT/ The only issue I found with this case is it's not wide enough for Strix/FTW3 3090 water blocks. As Mangler pointed out, the evo is that little bit wider to accommodate this. The OG was fine for 1080ti/2080ti era. 3090 Strix/FTW3 just happen to be super thicc boys.

I don’t think with ftw3 hybrid kit and water pipes coming out the original would’ve been able to close. That is why EVO is important to have. If I can’t find it I might just grab the XL.
 
Love my XL honestly. If you need spare glass panels though good luck getting them from the manufacturer. Not possible when I tried.
 
I find the XL too small for my liking, especially when it comes to the back panel compartment. PSU barely fits and cable management with maxed out fans is an issue.
