The Lian Li O11 Dynamic (O11D) is a large ATX full-tower PC case designed for custom builds, including water cooling. Its specifications are listed in the sources above, but the facts provided do not include its processor, RAM or storage, because it is a chassis rather than a complete computer. The closest Thinvent alternatives are compact mini PCs that come with a processor, memory and storage already fitted, so you can use them as a ready-built system instead of building one inside a case.
