With the O11D MINI V2, LIAN LI is launching a revised version of its popular compact case. Despite a minimal increase in size, the new model offers significantly more hardware compatibility, optimized airflow and flexible options for demanding PC builds. Particularly interesting: the case now supports full ATX mainboards and power supplies without sacrificing the characteristic slim design.

The most important innovations at a glance:

  • Support for ATX, M-ATX and Mini-ITX mainboards – including ATX Back-Connect
  • Space for standard ATX power supplies with the same width
  • Extended cooling options: Up to 360 mm radiator on the top, 240 mm on the side
  • Modular I/O panel and choice of vertical or horizontal GPU mounting with anti-sag bracket

More space, more options – without compromising on design

With only 2 liters more volume than its predecessor, the O11D MINI V2 is hardly any bigger, but offers considerably more leeway in terms of hardware selection. Thanks to a slightly curved side panel and an offset mainboard bracket, even a standard ATX power supply unit now fits into the case – a rarity in this size class. At the same time, the width of around 27 cm is retained, which is ideal for many setups.

The case supports motherboards up to ATX size as well as the increasingly popular ATX back-connect variants, which significantly simplify cable management. Radiators can be installed with up to 360 mm on the top and 240 mm on the side – ideal for high-performance cooling concepts. Those who rely on air cooling can install up to nine 120 mm fans.

GPU cooling cleverly solved – with a 10° trick

A highlight of the O11D MINI V2 is the new 10° inclined bottom fan tray, which directs the air specifically to the GPU. This solution is particularly advantageous for high-end graphics cards with high waste heat. Added to this is the freedom of choice when mounting the GPU: whether classic horizontal or as an eye-catcher in vertical mode – both are possible. Thanks to adjustable anti-sag brackets, the graphics card always remains stable and perfectly aligned. Important: A PCIe riser cable is required for vertical mounting, which is available separately.

Flexible I/O module – suitable for any configuration

The movable I/O panel is a well thought-out feature for builds with different space requirements. This can be mounted at the top or bottom of the housing, which not only offers ergonomic advantages, but can also optimize the airflow. Depending on the positioning, the lower air intake can be enlarged or specifically blocked in order to direct the airflow to the GPU.

The I/O panel offers modern connections: Two USB 3.0 ports, a USB-C port (3.2), an audio port and the power button.

Variant for airflow enthusiasts: O11D MINI V2 FLOW

LIAN LI also offers the FLOW version for anyone who wants to start with a powerful airflow straight away. This comes with five pre-installed 120 mm PWM fans in reverse blade design – ideal for supporting a sophisticated push-pull setup. These fans draw in air through the mesh panels without compromising the clear design with visible rotors.

Conclusion: A lot of case for little space

The LIAN LI O11D MINI V2 impresses with its high modularity, intelligent cooling and surprisingly large hardware compatibility – with only a slight increase in case volume. Thanks to ATX support, vertical GPU mounting and a flexible I/O panel, it is ideal for both compact gaming PCs and workstation builds.

Availability and price:
Available from July 25, 2025, the standard version (black or white) is priced at 89.99 euros RRP. The FLOW version with five pre-installed PWM fans costs 99.99 euros. The PC case is available from Caseking.
