6.2/10verdict: good, not the best

The Lian Li O11 Dynamic Evo RGB is for builders who want a showcase PC with room for large radiators and long graphics cards. It suits people who plan custom or all-in-one liquid cooling and are happy to buy their own fans. It is a poorer fit for anyone who wants a case that arrives ready to cool a build.
