Lian Li O11 DYNAMIC EVO RGB

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.

NZXT H6 Flow

NZXT H6 Flow

7.2/10verdict: good, not the best

The NZXT H6 Flow is for builders who want a mid-tower with strong cooling and an easy build. It suits gaming and general desktop systems with a graphics card, an air cooler or a top-mounted radiator, and only a few drives. It is less suited to storage-heavy builds or anyone who wants a quiet system at full fan speed.
