A look at it here in a CES video @ about 4.30

Looks interesting, a clear rip off from the Lian Li 011 Dynamic ( XL )

Have seen listed elsewhere in the UK for £169 release date 14/2/2020. 011D XL generally £189 ish with no fans.

Cheaper than Lian Li and looks like it comes with 2 x 200mm Front ARGB and rear 1 x 120mm ARGB.

Like the 011 supports bottom top and side, but also front rads , dont know if it can only be front or side but not both. 360mm max.

Looks like a similar rear drive bay to the 011D but probably not hot swappable connections.

Dimensions suggest more room than the 011D XL

011D (D) 471 x (W) 285 x (H) 513 mm

View51 550 x 315 x 525 mm

Was looking at the 011D XL but might hang on for this , anyone have any experience of Thermaltake copies and are they worth looking at ?

Wouldnt touch anything from thermaltat, would rather pay extra for lianli, than give my cash to those arses

 

[Relentless81]

I would prefer to support innovation rather than copying so I would spend the extra on the real deal

What problems did you have ?

they copy everyone elses ideas even to the point of shipping samples to their factory to reverse engineer. they also threatend to sue phanteks for using a name to similar for some other crap they make that nobody buys.. nobody likes them. and anything that they have innovated looks like a bad fairground attraction. like that case that looked like a grab machine

 

[hudson86]

Ok thanks

Thermaltake Mozart TX?

It does look similar but I do like that it can support 280mm rad on the side (the 011D will only support multiples of 120), and the rear 120 is nice.

I do wonder how the front will suffer with that large peice of glass, and why do those fans say (fixed), surely they can be controlled - 24db/27.2db seems rather loud to me)?

 

[hudson86]

Didnt notice that re fans, would be odd if they arent pwm. Might take 4 360s looking at the clearance from side to front. One of the CES videos said it should be available now ( presumably in the US ) , so will see if any reviews in the next few weeks.

 

[Impy77]

Here's some Thermaltake innovation

hmm.. I think ill buy a O11 Dynamic tomorrow

Looks great to be honest but unless I'm mistaken it doesn't seem to have any sort of dust filtration.

ahh here I thought I was all set on my next case ... I really liked the look - but missed the top and front no dust filtration. Not sure how they get away with that; your case will be dusty. I mean you could go with it but would need to clean it out a lot I assume.

 

[pc-guy]

this case allows front mounted fans and rads, different to LianLi offering tho. probably more flexibility and more radiators. air in-take at the front looks a bit dodgy...someone need to see how those vents perform if front mount is preferred

ya I dont plan on running water cooling at the front; I prefer to have fans cooling the system at the front. And I know a lot of dust will come in because with my current case I am always vacumming the dust off my filter in the front. Again I really like the looks of this case better then the 011D XL or the corsair they supposedly copy off of. But the no filtration might be a deal breaker for me.

I am pretty sure you can get some magnetic filters or mesh from rainforest. You just need to make sure the screw heads are stick out or glue some magnetics (there are little round ones that have strong magnetic field) to the inside of the casing itself.

do you mean some makeshift ones ie I need to make them or something ... I looked around on the net and dont see any aftermarket ones for that case.

thanks - ya looks like I could try something like that but rather have the manufacturer have a custom one if you know what I mean. thanks again for the info

 

[pc-guy]

I know, there is no perfect case right .
