Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini V2 Flow Case Review @ ThinkComputers
ThinkComputers examined the O11 Dynamic Mini V2 and found it to be an impressive update in Lian Li’s compact-form-factor lineup. Despite its smaller size compared to full-tower models, it supports ATX motherboards, ATX power supplies, and even large graphics cards while maintaining a sleek fish-tank style aesthetic with framed glass panels. The case adds a slanted bottom fan tray for improved GPU airflow, built-in support for vertical GPU mounting, and generous cable-routing features such as a 24-pin support bracket and embedded Velcro straps. Thermal testing demonstrated solid performance under load, making it a strong candidate for builders seeking performance and aesthetics in a tighter build space.
"The Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini is an iconic PC case at this point. Originally released in 2020, it essentially spawned the aquarium-style PC craze. I mean as I'm writing this review I am looking over at my O11 Dynamic Mini as it is the case I chose for my main rig. Having used that case on the daily for quite a while there is definitely some room for improvement! Enter the brand new O11 Dynamic Mini V2, which is slightly larger than the original, but expands on the feature-set by offering greater hardware compatibility and improved airflow. We actually have Flow version which comes with 5 included cooling fans so you are good to go out of the box! Let's take a look and see what this case is all about!"
The review did note a few trade-offs. With its dual-chamber design and compact footprint, there were some limitations when installing the thickest radiators or using very large GPUs in certain orientations. The I/O relocation and dual-chamber layout require care when planning component fit, especially for vertically mounted graphics cards. Nonetheless, ThinkComputers concluded that for the price point, build quality, and feature set offered, the O11 Dynamic Mini V2 delivers tremendous value for users looking for a compact case that doesn’t force major compromises in component support or thermal capability.
