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!
Special thanks to Lian Li for providing us with the O11 Dynamic Mini V2 Flow Case to review.

Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini V2 Flow Packaging
The Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini V2 Flow comes in your standard case box. On the front we have a picture of the case and some of the main features are listed. One the back we have an overview of the case showing its different dimensions.
Opening the box up we the case very nicely protected as well as a box of accessories. As far as accessories go you’ll find your mounting hardware, a vertical GPU mount, vertical GPU support bracket, and a user’s guide.
A minor problem is that they don’t sell any matching fans yet so you can’t fill out the back and top fan slots with matching fans.
There also needs to be a clear understanding that the case does not support anything mounted in the traditional #1 slot (the one between the middle mounting screws) found on older motherboards. Many newer motherboard have dropped the #1 slot and use the space for m.2 mounts so the gpu goes in the #2 slot. But there are still some motherboards out there that have a #1 slot and that doesn’t work with this case.
