The high end case manufacturer Lian Li teamed up with respected overclocker DER8AUER to optimise this ‘bauhaus’ inspired chassis – the O11-Dynamic. There’s no doubting that this is a very large ATX case (unlike these awesome small ATX cases) with looks that you’ll either love for their angular gamer aesthetic or hate for the same reason, but if you like a bit of bling and are looking for exceptional water cooling support and thermal performance you should strongly consider the H500M. Visual features include the now near ubiquitous RGB fans, Interchangeable Mesh or Tempered Glass front panel, and three other sides covered by tempered glass. ![]() It even incorporates a pump bracket to mount a custom loop pump and reservoir.Ĭonnectivity is excellent with 4 USB 3.0 ports and one USB C in the top of the front panel. Radiator support encompasses 360mm and 280mm in either the top or front positions, and it comes supplied with 2 massive 200mm fans in the front panel. This high end case offers a host of design features valuable to those looking to water cool with AIOs or a custom water loop. More recently Cooler Master have come on board with the ‘Mesh Replacement front panel’ idea, and offer the H500M. Users also report poor sound quality from the front panel jack, and it has just 2 USB 3.0 sockets on the top face, but both of these limitations are easy to mitigate.Īt the price, the standard ATX form factor Meshify C by Fractal Design is very hard to beat for features and cooling performance. Challenges posed by this case include limited clearance between a top mounted AIO radiator and RAM, so check dimensions carefully if this is the configuration that you’re planning. Our suggested configuration involves adding a pair of 140mm PWM fans such as Noctua Chromax or BeQuiet! Silent Wings behind the front panel to act as intake, with a single 120mm exhaust fan in the top rear. There are also choices for the side panel with metal, tempered glass and heavily tinted tempered glass. ![]() There are a range of sizes for all needs and configurations from the mATX ‘Meshify C Mini’ to the S2 Variants which have greater depth to allow for large Graphics cards (over 300mm length) or thick front radiator arrangements. The chassis itself is well made and includes quality of life features with a full suite of air filters, thumbscrews for PSU, side panel and GPU removal and a PSU Shroud enclosing the power supply and mechanical hard drive bays. ![]() A revision of their Define series, the front panel is replaced with angular blacked out mesh to allow maximum intake airflow. Fractal Design really hit the mark with the Meshify C.
