O11D EVO XL

Anyone heard anything about the availability for the 900mm riser cable & upraight GPU bracket?

I've had them on preorder with the case since they were first available on the OCUK website, but the cable & bracket still just say "Pre-order", no idea of date or anything & OCUK couldn't give a date either when I contacted them. Hoping someone has heard something somewhere saying when they will be around.

Same, have the riser cable and bracket on order, no info yet available. Could be days or months at this point.

I picked up the vertical mounting bracket for now so I can get my rig built, will swap it out for the upright bracket when it shows up

Got around to a test build in my case last night. Still waiting for upright GPU mount kit, 90cm riser cable plus distro plate, custom loop etc. So tried out the vertical mount with an AIO for now.

Finally a case that makes the 4090 strix look like a normal size GPU

Case is a pleasure to built in, very solid construction. Though I do wish the HDD mount cages would have been an optional extra. I exclusively use NVME drives for my gaming rig, so these are a complete waste. Also they spent time in the factory routing the SATA power and data cables for 4 SATA drives, which wil be wasted expense for many. I ended up removing both cages and their associated cables to have more room for cable management.

Whoever thought that NOT including the upright GPU bracket (£5!) and including these cages/cables should be shot

That looks really nice, reverse fans would be the finishing touch though. Yeah I think the upright GPU bracket could have been included but personally I will be using the four HDD cages.

Cheers.

Yeah will prob go for the reverse fans, though still settling on final layout once I get the rest of the hardware in!

NAS takes care of my HDD's, nice to not have the noise/vibration near the work/gaming areas!

Here's hoping they make a mini version.........I dont like big cases.

My work/backup system (silent with all noctua fans) is in an O11 Air Mini. Fits an ATX motherboard, 4090 strix. Very small

Man my replacement case looked great.. but the Light Strip won't remember the Motherboard RGB setting FFS. This has been an awful launch for me.

I use L-Connect to manage RBG/Fan speeds, the case RBG just plugs into my fan hub. So lovely having it in a windows application with such a tiny resource footprint. Literally no performance impact with having it installed vs not installed. No need to enter UEFI or save profiles/settings between BIOS updates etc.

Looks like my upright bracket & 90cm PCI-Ev4 riser cable just shipped
