LIAN LI and PCMR Launches the O11 Vision PC Case

James Cusworth / 1 month ago

Lian Li has partnered with the online PC enthusiast community, PCMR, to launch the highly anticipated O11 Vision Compact. This new chassis builds upon the popular O11 Vision design, offering a smaller footprint while retaining the signature three-sided tempered glass aesthetic. Key features include a top mesh panel for enhanced cooling, support for back-connect ATX motherboards, and a cleverly integrated rear passthrough for an internal IPS display. Available in both black and white, the O11 Vision Compact aims to provide builders with a flexible and visually stunning platform for showcasing their hardware.

Two Configurations

The O11 Vision Compact now includes a top mesh option for excellent airflow in addition to the top glass configuration. The top glass mode provides a completely unobstructed view of the system with top, front, and left-side tempered glass panels. The magnetic mounting key in the top left corner performs double duty, securing the mesh configuration top bracket to the front glass, and with top glass, holding the three glass panels together with 35 kg of supporting force.

Back Connect, Clean Build Support

The O11 Vision Compact adds back-connect motherboard support for the least amount of wiring clutter. A new cutout and grommet passthrough allow an AIO CPU block to connect to a side-mounted radiator in the second chamber, hiding the AIO tubing through the grommet and routing channels to the radiator. In addition, it includes a pre-installed GPU anti-sag support bracket that’s easily height adjustable to help heavy graphics cards stay perfectly horizontal. Lastly, a passthrough grommet has been implemented on the rear panel to support IPS display cables to directly connect to the GPU or motherboard rear I/O.

Optimal Airflow

The removable bottom and side brackets function as intake, each fitting 3x 120 mm fans or a 360 mm AIO, and the side bracket is reversible for either 36 mm or 110 mm clearance to the GPU. The rear panel acts as exhaust and fits 2x 120 mm fans, for a strong positive pressure build in the full glass configuration. In the alternate top mesh configuration, the top bracket can accommodate either 2x 140 mm fans, 3x 120 mm fans, or a 360 mm AIO, allowing for a chimney-style airflow pattern while maintaining positive pressure.

Engineered for High-Performance Hardware

The O11 Vision Compact can handle large components, including E-ATX motherboards (under 280 mm), 408 mm long GPUs, and clearance for CPU air coolers up to 167 mm in height. It can fit 4 x 2.5″ SSDs, or 2x SSDs and 2 x 3.5″ HDDs in the second chamber. With wide hardware support and iterative refinements, the unique triple-sided glass will show your build in the best light.

Strong Focus on Cable Management
The second chamber has a cable cover held in place by magnets. Two removable dual-layer cable clips hold PSU and fan wiring, and 6 more velcro strips manage case cables in the chamber. The area is made easily accessible by removing the dual HDD/SDD cages, and the individual cages may be left out of the build to free up space and make back-connect wiring easier. The PSU bracket protrudes 15 mm for more internal cabling room, and keeps the same easy side slide-in design of the O11 Vision.
