The Lian Li O11D is a PC case, not a computer. It holds the components of a desktop PC (motherboard, graphics card, cooling and storage). The facts available to us do not include the O11D's processor, RAM or storage, so a like-for-like performance comparison is not possible on this page. The Thinvent Treo Mini PC is a complete, small-form-factor computer, so it is the closest Thinvent product for buyers who want a compact system rather than a case to build into.

Key differences
-
The O11D is a case that accepts a motherboard, graphics card and cooling you choose yourself. The Treo is a finished computer with its processor, memory and storage already fitted.
-
The Treo Mini PC is 199.5 x 181.5 x 29.5 mm, against the O11D's 445 x 272 x 446 mm. Its footprint is far smaller, and it can be mounted to a VESA bracket.
-
The Treo ships with Windows 11 Pro, and buyers can instead choose Ubuntu Linux, Thinux Embedded Linux, Windows 11 IoT Value, DOS, or no operating system.
-
The Treo's Intel Core Ultra 5 125U and AMD Ryzen 5 7430U give 12 and 6 cores respectively, with up to 64 GB RAM on the AMD model.
-
The O11D supports a maximum GPU length of 420 mm, which the Treo does not offer because it has no discrete graphics slot.
Which one should you choose?
Choose the Lian Li O11D if you are building a full desktop PC and need a large case for a full-size motherboard and graphics card. Choose a Thinvent Treo Mini PC if you need a complete, compact computer with a fixed processor, memory and storage, and a choice of operating system.
