The Lian Li O11 Mini is the result of a collaboration between the Taiwanese manufacturer and acclaimed overclocker Roman ‘der8auer’ Hartung. The O11 Dynamic serious has already gain significant popularity among PC case enthusiasts so with this update they wanted to do something a little different…
Compact size yet plenty of space
Despite having a relatively small foot print, the inclusion of a ‘modular’ rear panel, means that components of different form factors can be fitted. For instance, in its 7 Slot configuration it is possible to mount a full ATX motherboard within the case, while this does go down to a mini-ITX motherboard in the 3 slot configuration but you now have space for a full size GPU. See below for a summary of what can be fitted per configuration:
| Configuration | Hardware options |
|---|---|
| 7 slot | Motherboards: ATX, Micro-ATX, Mini-ITX |
| Expansion slots: 7 | |
| Roof: 120 or 140 mm fans (up to 25 mm thick) | |

Small is beautiful
Like it forbears in the O11 Dynamic Series, the Mini is an aesthetically impressive case. It has a strong steel frame and has aluminium elements in the roof and right side panel. The left and front panels feature a 4mm thick tempered glass, which lets users showcase their hardware.
All in all the Lian Li mini is a great choice for users looking for flexibility in how they setup their builds as well as a stylish PC case.
