Lian-Li O11 Air Mini, Such a great case.

[KleoZy]

Honestly speaking, I feel that O11D mini is more for custom water cooling. else for this O11 Air Mini, is more for air cooling. though am not into custom water cooling, I still prefer the O11D mini more than the O11 Air Mini, considering the price you paying for the Air. there are no additional accessories provided like the O11D mini which is of the same price.

I like the air mini but the moment they took off the front glass panel, it sorts of also takes away the identity of the o11 as well

So, Lian Li just tweeted this :

It seems that there will be a 2 months delay. Mine is probably the 1st batch and it seems to have a bad mesh design. I have already contacted Lian-Li, hopping to receive a replacement mesh/case in the future.

Also 2nd part of their tweet as follows:
Rather than launching the cases as is, we have decided to completely retool new panels for the O11 AIR MINI, and regret to announce that we will have to postpone the pre-orders by another 2 months.

Edit: Received Reply from Lian-Li,

For your question. Yes, we could send some spare mesh panel to Corbell. Most likely will be mid to end of Dec. please email us again in mid Dec.

Wow, I just contacted Lian-Li and they have replied. I have to wait till December to receive new mesh from Corbell.

 

[Yongkit]

Wow that good news really

Good support!

Glad Lian Li is doing the right thing for the consumers. I'm sure that mesh design was critical to the performance. It looks like they took a few mesh design cues from the Meshilicious, which Lian Li manufactures as the OEM.

Yeah, they even have this Mesh design marketing on their page. Mesh diameter 1.5mm

I take my cheap vernier caliper and try to measure different holes but most are ~ 1.0mm. Maybe that is why its being delayed.

The Mesh needs bigger holes which means more Airflow.

Nice measurements! That's definitely significant, %-wise

Actually I am not sure if it is the colour of the case that caused the mesh holes to be smaller in diameter. There was some discussion about Phanteks case, where the white variant seems to have more rounded and smaller holes than the black version.

This is a good point. The paint may have reduced the size of the holes on the White case but I doubt it could have removed 0.5mm of the hole... No choice but to wait till December to get new mesh panels and try measure again. haha.

Actually all their o11 casing is meant for custom water cooling in mind. Air variant is even a plus point for custom water cooling.

Im a big fan of the original o11 in 2016?(Cant remember the actual year) that is the first dual chamber design case. But it has poor use of space. Can only fit 1 miserable 360mm thin rad. And i can still remember the price i paid for it. Over $5xx including shipping. Although the original o11 is mainly aluminium, the case is solid, lightweight, and well painted. The only downside is since it is mostly alu, i have a hard time sticking magnetic rgb strips lol.

Ever since they improved the design with the German youtuber, the o11D came out with impresive use of space. 3 slim 360mm rads was possible. Just a little tight in every corner. Same goes to the air version.

Till they came out the XL variant which is the improved version of o11D in every corners. But they were just tall and big.

But lately they have thought of mini version which when i work with it, i realised they are nice to work with it. One could easily fit an itx to matx mobo and still do custom water cooling with it. Or if you intend to do air cooling, ATX is still possible to fit. They even make the rear inter swapable to shift the mobo up or down to accormodate different thickness of radiators. Now they made an air version for this. Good job Lian Li.

That would be nice. But Lian-Li has delayed the sales of O11 Air Mini till December to fix some issues so he won't be able to get a hands on the case yet.

The case has been launched. Lian Li Global posted this on twitter a few days ago. Other countries hasn't receive the cases yet. Corbell sold the 1st batch already. But there is some issues with the mesh design. So if you manage to buy it, its the problematic first batch. That is all. Lian Li is retooling new panels for the Air Mini and will release proper in December.

Edit: already linked to tweet a few posts above.

 

[KYZT2021]

Good lar as least fast fast come out tell consumer, not like certain brand got fire hazard
