The PC-O11 from Lian Li is a really good looking high-end case. It features a simply perfect build quality and very nicely crafted aluminum parts and the solid construction as well as the thick side panels and the tempered glass add to the high quality feel. Apart from that the vendor made sure to keep this case as small as possible yet allowing the installation of EATX motherboards. If you plan on equipping this case with custom water cooling gear, you’ll have to properly think about which gear you want to place where, but apparently this is the case with all custom water cooled builds. Overall it was suprisingly simple to build a clean looking custom water cooled rig using this case and we espeically like the fact, that it was possible to use two 360mm radiators, while one is sitting at the top and the other at the bottom.

If you’re planning on building an air cooled rig using this case you can definitely put something together that looks absolutely stunning as well. There is plenty of space available but we'd recommend checking your CPU cooler's height for compatibility. Apart from that you'll have to buy all additional case fans yourself since Lian Li does not equip this case with any. The same goes for the LED lighting, meaning that if you want to to for illumination you'll have to buy LED strips separately.

Should you be looking for an absolute high-end case with brilliant build quality and looks, then we can definitely recommend this case. Apart from that we can also recommend it for any water cooling project. Checking prices we find the PC-O11 listed over at Caseking for 229 Euro, whereas in Switzerland it costs CHF 257.- Bottom line this case deserves 4 out of 5 stars.
