Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic Review and Custom Loop Build!

2018-04-18
I've been waiting since CES of this year to get my hands on and build in the new Leonie pcoi lemon dynamic a co-op if you go between Lee and Lee and herb our famous German overclocker who we met at CES 2018 you can check out that video right here so I imagine Roman came in and said lynly look I'm gonna make a few changes the PCO 11 they're desperately needed I'm also gonna bring the price down and we're gonna sell these things like hotcakes and he hit the nail on the head I'm just gonna say this up front my favorite case to date period so I'm excited to show you guys what I've done with this I'm gonna show you the build process I lost a lot of my b-roll just in a neglectful act of deleting files I didn't realize I was deleting so you're gonna mainly see just the bill blog I'm gonna talk about the features and try to show you as much as I can about the case the primary changes that were made to the original PCO 11 then we're gonna talk about where you can buy it when you can buy it and the value overall so with that let's go we right off the bat this beautiful steel enclosure craft and tempered glass on two sides screams both form and function it's a rare combo these days it's why I built what I built in here we were sent the white chassis and I think it looks especially good when paired with this brushed aluminum accent up front the tempered glass is only slightly tinted which is a good thing and the black trim it doesn't bother me too much although I wish they had at least tried a white trim for the white case all panels by the way with the exception of the top boasts tooless installation thanks to included sockets around the chassis both tempered panels simply slide into place which is leaps and bounds better than even the thumbscrew design on traditional tempered glass chassis z' cooler masters key turn design is almost laughable at this point the top panel fYI secures with two thumb screws in a conventional Lili fashion this is a dual chamber chassis with the power supply situated behind the motherboard tray I welcome the style actually as a result cable management at the rear is plentiful dedicated PSU airflow is still achieved thanks to right panel venting and a no basement will obstruct the goodies to the left speaking of which the space in this case upfront is ample black rubber grommets span the length in the motherboard tray along with dedicated EPS power cutouts up top as well as cutouts down below though these are not rubber grommet 'add if you put a vertical graphics card here though you won't even see them you'll find support for three radiator fan mounts thanks to the inclusion of a rotated bracket recessed into the motherboard tray in fact because of this indention you can technically install radiators in all three positions though the base mount will block several PCI slots and included SSD trays my recommendation utilizes the right mounts first as I've done here and include an additional combo so you have one up top next no fans are included with the 11 dynamic which is something to keep in mind the or 11 air will include two or three I believe though the extremely low price of this case for what you get is sure to pull you back in and it looks darn good doing it I found that mounting three fans all on the right panel is sufficient for a single GPU CPU combo assuming you have them arranged in an intake config so a triple fan pack of 120 mils should be enough now a consequence of this case is form factor is the dead space above the motherboard isn't a negative per se rather just a consequence of a vertical radiator support seeing as though no PSU basement exists below the extra space up top beckons another rad fan combo or in my case tubing runs to balance things out and again fill in the dead space other improvements of the dynamic revision include a hot swap drive bay accessible from the rear just above the power supply with a simple thumb screw two hard drives can be installed from this position not at all necessary but certainly convenient and fun fact the base serves as a secondary power supply bracket as well odd yeah but maybe not forward or Bauer it definitely screams his name not sure why you'd need two power supplies in this you were doing some extreme overclocking right up his alley apart from the sheer volume you'll be welcome to behind here things are actually pretty normal everything's just in a different place and you might be used to the power supply still received its own dedicated air supply thanks to cutouts on the right side panel as well as the vertical radiator fan combo you might include on the left side of the case a large removable panel also keeps cables in check similar to how the H 500 P from coolermaster deals with this and several type points still span the height of the chassis so cable management will not be an issue at all needless to say I used very long cable extensions from this power supply and I still had plenty of room for probably a second power supply a few bonuses include a vertical graphics card support and the bracket is optional doesn't come with the case although I was sent one for this review and it still provides adequate versatility ie breathing room for the graphics card which is always a concern where I have a 1080 Ti now in this bill the plenty of space between the fans and the Left panel still exists keeping things nice and cool however you decide to arrange things though you're sure to have a fun building experience I had no issues with cable routing even with my fairly long extensions drive support is convenient the case is raised off the ground in a proper fashion this time around and a premium feel at only 129 bucks is a killer bargain if I had to nitpick though I would change first the way the legs span across the front and back of the chassis just for individual feet would be plenty it means you could grip the case a bit better and the power button led up front should be changed something a little more neutral I think white is a better option in this case than blue other than that though I have nothing else about which to gripe I love that USB sees included I love the steel chassis it's very rigid and I love the tempered glass the toolless design and a especially the price in fact if you're willing to pre-order and wait just a few more days you can do so via the link below the top of this video's description and you can pick up this case right now for 100 USD a heck of a bargain look 130 still a heck of a bargain for this chastity but a hundred bucks you got to be kidding me so with that I want to know what you guys think about the build and the chassis and you're excited to at least you know contemplate buying one I would because you get the best of everything in this case and it's not gonna break the bank relatively speaking that's a huge plus in my book good job your Bower for revising the PCO 11 this is a heck of a case if I had an award I would give it to it hands down without a doubt but I'm gonna say right now again this is my favorite case to date I don't know what else to say to that but it's it's just the best it really is and you'll see that if you buy one if you preorder one now you won't regret it I guarantee it or as much as I can guarantee it without being legally liable if you liked this video be sure to let me know making some one thumbs up I appreciate it thumbs down for the obstacle to subscribe but if you haven't already and stay tuned for more content like this this is science studio thanks for
