Lian Li has launched the O11D EVO XL PC chassis, going all out with case compatibility, overall aesthetics, and a larger design, which upholds the tradition of previous O11D models.
Lian Li's New O11D EVO XL Features Extensive Compatibility Coupled With an Innovative Cable Management Mechanism
[Press Release]: Inspired by the popular Lian Li O11D EVO, the Lian Li EVO XL adds features such as simultaneous support for 3 x 420 radiators, a height-adjustable and fully removable motherboard tray, a removable front pillar, improved support for upright GPU mounting on the side fan/radiator bracket, and redesigned cable management and storage solution. The O11D EVO XL also keeps the unique features of the O11D EVO, with the ability to reverse the case and a relocatable front I/O module.
The Lian Li O11D EVO XL is designed with cooling performance in mind. Starting with the motherboard tray, a modular piece that can be quickly removed for ease of installation, it can be height adjusted into 3 positions (high, middle, and low) to provide better fan/radiator clearance at the top or bottom. The top, bottom, and side brackets of the chassis can each support 3 x 140mm fans / 420mm radiators simultaneously for extreme cooling performance. Each radiator bracket can be quickly removed for ease of installation. With the motherboard in lower mode, the rear of the case can support up to 2 x 120mm fans.
The Lian Li O11D EVO XL is the ideal showcase chassis with its removable front pillar. Without the front pillar and side bands on the front and side tempered glass panels, users benefit from an unrestricted view of the PC. The EVO XL also supports the ability to be fully reversible and features a relocatable I/O module with 3 supported locations (front, side, and rear). Furthermore, with the use of additional accessories, users can change their GPU mounting location to either vertical or upright. The optional upright GPU mounting kit is redesigned to accommodate larger GPUs of up to 358mm in length and 80mm in thickness.
Located in the second chamber, the Lian Li O11D EVO XL features 2 x hot-swap storage drive cages, each supporting up to 2 x 3.5” HDDs or 2 x 2.5” SSDs. The cages are mounted on hinges which allow them to swivel away from the frame and provide easier access to the mounting trays. Each drive cage can be equipped with a 15mm thick 120mm fan to provide extra cooling to the drives. For cable management, the cable cover bar is also on hinges for quick access, and the new chassis comes equipped with 3 dual-layer cable clips that can be mounted anywhere along vertical grommets pass through.
The O11D EVO XL is available at major retailers at an MSRP of $234.99 for the black and $244.99 for the white.
