Overview
This article covers the Lian Li O11 Vision Compact White — Compact Mid-Tower Case with Triple Glass Panels. Tempered glass covers the front, left side and top, and a pillarless corner gives an open view of the interior.
It is a compact version of the O11 Vision, which Lian Li co-developed with PC Master Race (PCMR), and has a volume of 57.4 liters.
That is about 10 liters less than the original, yet it still takes boards from Mini-ITX up to 280mm-wide E-ATX, plus back-connect ATX motherboards.
The short verdict: it is a strong choice if you want a white showpiece build on a budget of around ¥15,000. When pricing was captured on June 4, 2026, Amazon.co.jp listed it at ¥15,509.Check the retailer's page for the latest user reviews.
The downside is that with so much glass, how well it cools depends heavily on your fans. It is not a good fit if you want few fans or silence above all.
The top panel works in two ways: glass (Vision mode) or mesh (Mesh mode). Being able to switch between looks and cooling headroom later is what sets this case apart.
Key Specs at a Glance
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Case type | Mid tower |
| Volume | 57.4 liters |
| Listed dimensions | 448mm × 447mm × 288mm (listed as D×W×H) |
| Weight | 12kg |
| Materials | Steel, tempered glass |
| Motherboards | Mini-ITX / Micro ATX / ATX / E-ATX (up to 280mm wide) / back-connect ATX |
| Max 120mm fans | 8 in Vision mode / 11 in Mesh mode |
| GPU length | Up to 420mm |
| PSU length | Up to 180mm |
| CPU cooler height | 170mm (guideline) |

For a mid tower, GPU clearance and fan count are generous, while CPU cooler height is a little tight. There is also a catch in how the dimensions are listed, covered under Things to Check Before Buying.
Compatibility Guide
The case supports ATX, Micro ATX and Mini-ITX boards, plus E-ATX boards up to 280mm wide. Wider workstation boards over 300mm will not fit, even though they are also called E-ATX.
Don't rely on the label alone. Check your board's actual width in its dimensions.
Back-connect ATX support is a real plus. On these boards, the power and fan headers sit on the back of the board, so almost no cables show from the front.
That suits the triple-glass design well. However, only certain board series support it, and they usually cost more than standard boards.
With a standard board, this works as a normal ATX case.
GPU clearance is 420mm. Most current high-end cards measure in the 300mm range, so length will rarely be a problem.
Thickness and weight matter more: very large cards thicker than three slots tend to sag. Check whether a GPU support bracket is included or needs to be bought separately.
CPU cooler clearance is about 170mm. Many dual-tower air coolers stand around 160mm, but some are taller than 170mm.
If you plan to use an air cooler, check its full height first. 280mm and 360mm AIO liquid coolers are the other option.
Plan on ATX power supplies up to 180mm long. Some units above 1000W have long housings, and modular cable plugs take up more room.
With two 3.5-inch and two 2.5-inch bays, this is not a case for large HDD arrays.
Planning Cooling and Fans
The case holds up to eight 120mm fans in Vision mode and up to 11 in Mesh mode. Depending on the layout, it is rated for several 360mm radiators: up to two in Vision mode and up to three in Mesh mode.
That is a high ceiling for a mid tower.
However, having room for many fans is not the same as staying cool with few fans. In Vision mode the front and top are glass, so air cannot flow in through them on its own.
Air only moves where you mount fans, so heat builds up quickly if you use too few. If you pair a high-end GPU with a Core i9 or Ryzen 9, plan the number and direction of your fans from the start, or plan to use the mesh top.
With a mid-range GPU and a CPU that runs cooler, Vision mode works fine. Pick your starting mode based on whether looks matter more or whether you expect hotter parts later.
Whether fans are included can vary by batch and region, so check the included items on the product page. If they are not included, budget for them separately.
Product Info
This is the white version of Lian Li's O11 Vision Compact. It is made of steel and tempered glass, and the spec sheet lists its weight as 12kg.
Within 57.4 liters, it has room for up to 11 fans and a 420mm GPU.
When pricing was captured on June 4, 2026, Amazon.co.jp listed it at ¥15,509.
Case prices change often with sales, exchange rates and stock, so check the product page for the current price before buying. That is an accessible price for a triple-glass case with back-connect support.
Buying a full set of fans, though, can add several thousand yen to over ¥10,000 to the total.
Consistently high ratings across several hundred reviews suggest buyers are happy with its looks and how easy it is to build in. Case reviews tend to focus on appearance, though, so cooling and noise will depend on your own setup.
Warranty terms depend on the seller and distributor. Units from the official Japanese distributor often come with a one-year warranty, but confirm this on the product page and warranty card.
Compared with Alternatives
Here is how it compares with other cases you might consider for a showpiece build.
| Point | O11 Vision Compact White | Mesh-front, cooling-focused cases (e.g. NZXT H7 Flow) | Understated cases (e.g. Fractal Design Pop Air) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interior view | Most open: triple glass, pillarless | Less visible, mesh front | Standard |
| Cooling | Depends on fan layout; better in Mesh mode | Easy airflow even with fewer fans | Standard |
| Expansion | Up to 11×120mm fans, 420mm GPU | Varies by model | Varies by model |
| Best for | Looks, all-white builds, back-connect boards | Easy, low-effort cooling | A plain, quiet look |
Mesh-front cases like the NZXT H7 Flow make it easier to get good airflow without adding fans. They suit you better if easy cooling matters more than looks.
An understated case like the Fractal Design Pop Air suits people who don't plan on RGB and want a plain box beside the desk. For showing off the interior and fitting radiators, the O11 Vision Compact stands out.
For other panoramic, back-connect or white cases, see the related articles.
Who Should Buy It
- Builders who want an all-white build that shows off RGB fans or an AIO cooler
- Anyone using a back-connect motherboard to hide almost all front-side cables
- Anyone fitting a high-end GPU (up to 420mm) and a hot CPU in a mid-tower footprint
- Anyone who may add radiators later and wants room to grow
It suits people who choose a case for its looks but don't want to give up cooling. You can start in Vision mode for the look, then switch to Mesh mode if things run hot.
Things to Check Before Buying
With so much glass, fingerprints and dust show easily. On the white model, dust inside the case is also easy to see, so plan on cleaning the dust filters and wiping the glass regularly.
The glass panels are heavy and can break, so lay them on a flat, soft surface when you remove them.
It is best not to run Vision mode with only a few fans. With triple glass, only a few surfaces can take in air.
If you don't plan the number and direction of your fans, the area around the GPU in particular will run hot. The case is also a poor match if silence is your top priority, since it often needs more fans running.
E-ATX support stops at 280mm wide. If you use a large workstation board, or might move to one later, choose a different case.
Cooler height is about 170mm and PSU length is 180mm, so check those sizes first if you plan on a big air cooler or a high-wattage PSU.
Read the dimensions carefully. The listing gives 448mm × 447mm × 288mm as depth × width × height.
For a mid tower, though, it makes more sense to read 288mm as the width and 447mm as the height. If the case will sit on or under a desk, check the orientation on Lian Li's official dimension drawing before measuring your space.
Product pages are sometimes compiled automatically, so the order of the dimensions or the list of included items may not match the actual case. Use the photos and title to confirm you are buying the O11 Vision Compact in White.
Don't confuse it with the larger O11 Vision or another color.
FAQ
Q. Will an RTX 4090-class GPU fit? A.
The case takes GPUs up to 420mm long, so length is not an issue for almost any card. Consider a support bracket, since heavy, thick cards can sag.
Q. Can I use an air cooler? A.
The height limit is about 170mm. Most dual-tower air coolers fit, but some are taller than 170mm.
Check the full height in the cooler's specs.
Q. Vision mode or Mesh mode? A.
Vision mode is often enough for mid-range builds. Choose Mesh mode if you pair a high-end GPU with a hot CPU, or if you want to add a radiator on top.
Q. Do I need a back-connect motherboard? A.
No. Standard ATX, Micro ATX, Mini-ITX and E-ATX boards up to 280mm wide all fit.
Back-connect is an extra option for hiding even more cables.
Q. Can I install many HDDs?
A. Only two 3.5-inch drives. If you need a lot of storage, consider adding a NAS or external drives.
