The Lian Li O11 Dynamic Air is a PC case, not a computer. It holds motherboards, graphics cards and storage drives for a custom desktop build. Thinvent does not make PC cases. The closest Thinvent alternative is the Treo Mini PC, a complete compact computer with a processor, memory, storage and operating system already fitted. It suits buyers who want a ready-to-run system rather than a case to build around.
