The Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini is a mini tower PC chassis, not a complete computer. It is built for water-cooling-friendly builds and supports SFX power supplies, 2 x 3.5" HDD or 2 x 2.5" SSD storage, and 120 mm to 140 mm fan mounts. For a ready-to-use compact system, the closest Thinvent alternatives are the Thinvent Treo Mini PC range, which ships with a processor, RAM and SSD already installed.
