KITGURU SHORTLISTS: THE BEST CASE OF 2023

It's easy to see that the Lian Li O11 Vision has been developed and built for enthusiasts by the enthusiast community. The three sides of the glass mean that no matter which angle you look at the case from, you can see the creation you have put together. The adjustable motherboard tray provides versatility to the system builder, whether you are using an AIO, air cooler or custom cooling the case can adapt to either situation.

KitGuru reviewed the original Montech Sky Two back in January 2023 and we liked it, a lot. This updated GX version has been tweaked in a number of areas but maintains the same low price and gains a mesh front panel for high airflow that replaces the original glass. Another change is the move from four 120mm ARGB fans to three 140mm ARGB fans... and the end result is superb.

The Dark Base Pro 901 includes some pretty cool features like Qi Wireless charging and state of the art touch-sensitive controls for fan speed adjustment and ARGB lighting effects. The included VGA support bracket, that also doubles up as a shroud for concealing PCIe cables, works perfectly and the modularity of panels means that the case is easy to disassemble to improve access during system installation and switch between high airflow or low noise configurations.

Our first impression of the NZXT H6 Flow RGB was 'OK, well that's interesting,' but as we dug deeper we became more impressed by the design of this case and merely considered the angled front corner to be the final styling flourish. NZXT has managed to deliver a case that obviously has a large area of tempered glass, however it also packs in a lot of mesh for air flow, and that is an intriguing combination.

So while there are similarities to the O11D there are a couple of things that might make the Montech King 95/Pro a more attractive proposition. One big advantage for the King 95 is the price, the O11D Evo launched with an MSRP of around $170 USD which it still sells for around that price now but doesn’t include fans, an ARGB fan hub or accessories such as the front mesh kit. So the base King 95 that comes without fans is much cheaper and makes it a great budget alternative to the O11D Evo
