Fans of the compact, white builds – rejoice! During the Christmas 2020 campaign, Lian Li hosted an exclusive competition for two lucky winners to receive their fully modular O11D Mini ITX Case in the limited Snow Edition. Christmas has come and gone, but Lian Li are still in the giving mood. Due to massive demand, the O11D Mini Snow Edition is now available to purchase!
Huzzah!
Same Case, New Look
The O11 Dynamic Mini ITX Case was originally designed in collaboration with celebrated overclocker, der8auer. It has a fully modular design and can support a full contingent of components, despite its small form factor. The initial release saw the Black O11D and the White O11D, which instead of being pure white is broken up with dark highlights. This is where the Snow Edition comes in.
Rather than breaking up the lighter panelling with dark highlights, the Snow Edition is completely white – inside and out. The perfect canvas for your high-end components and dazzling RGB light shows.
With its upgraded aesthetic, this is still the O11D Mini that we know and love. The back panel can be configured with 3 to 7 expansion slots, giving you an insane amount of flexibility when it comes to Tetris-ing your hardware into the case. It features the same dual-chamber design, hiding away messy cables and securely storing your hard drives. What’s more, the sleek style can be enhanced by showcasing your GPU vertically and positioning the pump at one of three heights.
If you have an idea, the O11D Mini Snow Edition can handle it.
Modular Configurations For Everyone!
The O11D Mini Snow Edition takes flexible to a whole new level. The modular design has three main configurations: 7, 5, and 3 expansion slots. It truly caters for all.
7 Expansion Slots
The maximum configuration is seven expansion slots. This allows for the installation of an ATX motherboard and for you to take full advantage of all the extra hardware support it supplies. Despite the larger motherboard, it can still fit in plenty of cooling options. Install on the top, side, or bottom of the case in a range of sizes for both fans and radiators. Dream it, the O11D Mini Snow Edition will provide.
Using the full seven slots is perfect if you want to make no compromises with your build. Being limited on space does not mean you should limit your hardware!
5 Expansion Slots
With the second configuration of five slots, you can install a Micro-ATX motherboard, and still have ample room for all your cooling components. There are fewer expansion slots to play with when it comes to hardware, but the increased airflow will help to keep everything running whisper quiet. And who doesn’t want more space for RGB lighting?!
With the five expansion slots, you get a delightful balance of hardware and additional cooling. This configuration will keep your set-up looking clean with plenty of space around hardware to promote airflow while offering support for upgrades and advanced hardware.
3 Expansion Slots
The last available configuration is for three expansion slots. This can only host a Mini-ITX motherboard, but that is not going to stop you from packing power into this compact case. If you do not require the full array of expansion slots, then why use more than you need? Even with the three slots, you will be able to build a comprehensive gaming PC with amazing natural airflow.
Using the three slots is perfect if you are looking for a simpler build with a focus on airflow and clean spaces. While you might have less on this configuration, the increased airflow does allow for great overclocking opportunities. Enjoy the compact form factor in all its glory!
With so many options to play with, maybe gain some inspiration from BitWit’s stunning O11D Mini Snow Edition build with fully white components and dazzling RGB.
