As of mid January 2023, nzxt has released their corner-less case that looks very similar to this. Check it out before you chop your 011D evo. Check it out here: amzn.to/3iJF0A3
Similar but not the same, the Lian li is much smaller....
already cutted support bar 2 days bofore nzxt released that new case... what a...
@@user-su9pf2gk1o Don’t worry, I haven’t yet cut my support bar but will be eliminating it anyway.
The H9 is too big, doesn’t have better airflow in testing, has odd looking feet, is of lower build quality, comes with fans that I’d never use. I’m sticking with Evo.
I’ll be getting custom glass anyway as I would with the H9. There’s a subtle grey tinted type that I love on any and all builds. Plus in this age of narrow bezels I’d like to make some adjustments there too!
@@user-su9pf2gk1onzxt case is more expensive and is also bigger which is not necessarily a good thing
So far so good looking forward to seeing the finished project
Thanks my dude 🔥🙏
Casemodding time is back?! :O after all these years!
Great video! How do you remove the front panel? The one where the power button is located.
Do you think could be done on the mini. Also do you think redoing the glass is necessary. I was thinking about just doing the trimming and leaving the glass as it was.
I'm curious if you can please provide the measurements for both the side and front glass on a dynamic evo.
Lian Li probably use 3M VHB tape for the original joining of the glass and bezel pieces. VHB is amazingly tough and I’d highly recommend it if you need to do something like this in the future.
Okay cool, I will definitely keep that in mind for next time! Thanks for letting me know.
Looks dope man
Thank you so much 🙏
Would it be possible to do this very same thing with a white 011 Dynamic Mini?
Looks Great!!! I was just wondering what the process for removing the panel with the front io and power button was like, is it just pop off like the top one or are there rivets. I am planning a case mod for one of these, replacing the top and front panels with a custom designed and cnc-d ones.
Did you ever get your front power button panel off? Im trying to swap the grey for black so I don't have to do a complete rebuild and the instructions I found online make it look like it should just slide right off after removing the 3 inside screws but the dang thing is acting like it's stuck and I can't seem to find any obvious push tabs. With as popular as a case this thing seems to be I'm kinda shocked there aren't any YT videos out there showing the process to remove this piece, lol.
Hey V. I followed your video srep by step brother and thank you. I messed up and forgot to pull measurements of the 4 metal brackets before I removed them from the original glass. I'm hoping you can provide measurements for the smaller front panel and wider side panel where the metal brackets sit. Thanks!
Dude awesome work. I feel like that's how the O11D Evo should have came..
yea quite a pity
Im in love with this case and what you have done to it I’ve been looking for a black and white build and this is it.
Thank you 🙏
So I currently have a kediers c590 which is a cheaper version of this case, and to remove that first piece that you did it's held in with screws. So I didn't have to drill or cut anything.
so how do you get inside the case now that you sealed it with tape
So if I don’t repaint bezels and just scrape them. It’s literally just that and removing the corner beam? I just want to make sure cause I love this look
Looking good so far. Where the two glasses meet, there is no gap/space for air or anything, right? If so, that may cause airflow issues, no?
Thank you 🙏 There’s a tiny gap but it never caused any issues with my old case and this case has an even smaller gap so I don’t expect it to have any issue with this case. Since my case will have positive air pressure with my fan configuration the only thing that’ll happen is air will leave through that corner as well as other open spots. I think I will be doing a video once everything had time to work and show how the temps are and how everything is going. Might be in a month or two, we’ll see tho.
WOW !! Amazing work mann , case shoud come like that from the facktory :O !
Thank you 🙏 I agree, looks amazing
Great mod, I just would be fixated on the color difference between the case and the painted bezels. Have you done anything more with it in the interim?
I haven’t done anything with this case since this video. I did do a couple more mods like this on and the workaround is to just scrape the bezel on the front corner and leave the rest alone. It’s less work because the brackets can stay on besides the corner and I just cut the parts off while it’s still on the glass. A bit more dangerous since you can cut the glass by accident but I just go half way deep and then break it off with heat and prying. Also the new method allows you to keep all the stock brackets which means the glass is more secure. I’m working on another mod like this as we speak and the video will be out soon. This case is getting a full color swap but I talk about the new methods a bit more in this new video. Thanks 🙏
The only thing to criticize, is that the white of the glasses is different from the white of the case. But else nice work.
Thank you 🙏 Yeah it annoys me too 😅
You wouldn’t get as small bezels but I think just cutting the front bar and scraping the paint of the front corner would give a more “could be stock” appearance
Nice work!
Thank you! Cheers!
this can work for dynamic xl?
this is beautiful man, do you happen to know how the glass scraping procedure would fare on the O11 D mini? You said that the new evo uses a blue edged new kind of glass, whereas I didn't notice this on my o11d mini. however I really want to do this mod as it would look fantastic on the mini.
Is the 011D mini glass black? If it’s black then chances are it’s not able to be scraped off. If it’s white it may be the same process. On my old black case I got custom glass made.
I also came to learn towards my snow mini, I'd like to follow your progress!
Beautiful!
Thank you 🙏
Thanks a lot for the great video. Short question though ... Did you remove the masking tape while the paint was still slightly wet or did you let it dry completely? Any other recommendations to get perfectly sharp edges? Like a certain angle in to pull the tape?
Thanks again!
I did peel the tape while it was still wet. Basically as soon as the final coat went down, I started peeling so that I wouldn’t have any issues later. I peeled at a very aggressive angle to make sure the edge was nice and sharp.
@@BuildsWithV thanks a lot!
Nice change.
The only problem with using a razor blade is that it can leave micro scratches in the glass. They aren't always visible but are often there. I use aircraft remover and 0000 steel wool to remove the silk screen on tempered glass for my mods. The razor blade is definitely easier, but again, I prefer to maintain the glass in the best condition possible.
Yeah I noticed a couple tiny scratches. Only visible in certain light and you really gotta look for it. I’ll look into that, any video you can share with me? I didn’t know of any other way. Thanks 🙏
@@BuildsWithV No video that I know of. Just go to autozone or whatever and grab the kleanstrip or rustoleum aircraft remover. Spray it or spread it onto the silk screen in small areas. Wait about 10-15 minutes, then start scrubbing with the 0000 steel wool. It takes a good amount of work and a good hour to remove it all but doesn't damage the glass. It's my least favorite mod while doing it but is super satisfying once finished.
@@TheJjjoj awesome I appreciate it. I’ll definitely look into it 🙏
Question: Ive seen some people remove all the rivets vs using a Dremel. Any reason NOT to drill out all the rivets? Seems a lot easier to do and can put it back if you ever need to.
You can use a dremal and remove the rivets on 'O11 Dynamic' but this method doesn't work with the newer 'O11 Dynamic Evo'. With the newer model, you need to get a tiny saw to remove the support bar . I also imagine you can use a drill and keep puncturing holes into the support bar until it can be easily snapped off by hand.
Ficou bem melhor, parabéns pelo trabalho.
I personally prefer the original way :) but kudos for your courage to mod it and actualy pulling it off :) At this point, i would also paint any exterior panel you intend to leave white to get a closer match to the white of the bezels you just painted as they are so far off from the looks of it. GL an HF :)
Thank you! it’s a bit of an old video. I’ve redone the bezels and they match perfect now. That did bother me a bit, although in person it didn’t look as mismatched as it did on camera.
Very nice work. I was thinking about doing this to a case myself and seeing it done makes it at least appear easier than I picture it being in my head. I've seen the NZXT H9 Flow, but still can't buy it anywhere.
Thank you 🙏 this is a bit old tho. Since this video I have modified more of these cases and instead of cutting so much off I just cut the corner off and scrape the corner off the glass. Much easier and quicker
@@BuildsWithV, another case I'm really anticipating is the Phanteks NV7. Obviously, I want something with the seamless glass look. I was even thinking about modding the Thermaltake Tower 500, but the side panels slot into the side rails, so they are essential to the panels staying on. I'm not going to go as far as making slots, coming up with a mounting solution, and aligning everything so it looks right so the panels will attach at the top and bottom. Just typing it almost gives me a headache. 🤣
I wish Lian Li did it from the start
Do I have to scrape all the edges of paint off or can I just scrap of the 2 corners that meet
You can do just the two corners. I was dumb back then and wanted “smaller bezels”. Was very unnecessary 😅
Just a quick heads up…Lian Li has now released a revision to this case in the Eastern markets that does not have this support bracket.
in the video you said the white paint on the glass could be scraped off. Do you think it'd be possible to only scrape of the middle part? So you wouldn't have to take the rest of the pieces apart or repaint.
Yes you can do that but you’ll have to be careful to make it straight and cutting the bracket while it’s on the glass. Much less work that way too which is nice, just have to be careful is all. I chose my way cause I wanted to bezels smaller than original but honestly probably not worth the extra work.
After watching it, I see you make everything very complicated, when it's really very simple kkkk 🤣🤣🤣@@BuildsWithV
How is the acoustics for this mod? Does it increase the sound emitted?
Never did any real tests tbh but I never noticed any difference in noise level’s
Why didn't you just get a HYTE Y60?
Cool project. My OCD that the whites are diff, I couldn’t do it!! Cool project nevertheless. Subbed
Thank you! Yeah, the colors are different unfortunately but honestly in person it's not too noticeable. Still wish I found a perfect match tho. I love the white that Lian Li used, looks soo good and clean.
Can this be done with the o11 evo black? Been told it the black strip won't come off in that model?
No the black one can’t be scraped off
nice mod of the case but can you tell me what fans you have in the black one in the background ?
Thank you 🙏 Yeah they’re the Bitspower Touchaqua Notos O Fans from micro center
@@BuildsWithV thanks i like those fans
how do they perform with radiators ?
So after the case is finished, how can you peel of the two glasses ? (they are double-sided with tape now)
So he didn’t actually tape the glass to the case, but rather he put the bracket pieces in where they would go normally, and then fitted the glass ontop of the brackets so it was perfect fit.
he messed everything up 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Any reason why it wouldn't be possible to just do one edge of the glass panels only? That way I wouldn't need to repaint it?
Yeah you can do it that way, just have to cut the brackets on the glass for the front piece. Also you don’t need to cut so much of the frame, just the corner off and you’re good. That’s how I do it now, much quicker and no painting. Gotta scrape carefully tho so you don’t ruin the other parts of the bezels
@@BuildsWithV thanks, appreciate the response! Will look to do this when my o11d arrives!
Was it not possible to remove only the white stripes that meet at the edge (with a cutter knife or something?)
Yeah it is. That’s how I’ve been doing it since this video but originally I thought making the bezels smaller all around would be better but I’d say it hardly made a difference and wasn’t worth the extra work
@@BuildsWithV
yes, the idea is very good and also very perfectionist, in any case great work and i hope lian li will take a look at it.
The different shade of white on the glass is killing my OCD. Lian Li just also showed the new O11 models at computex that have the panel removed.
How did you take off the IO panel? There are 3 screws on the side, the first one right next to the reset button but even then the panel stays on. Please share some insight, thank you.
Once you take the screws out you will have to slide it off, it’s pretty stuck on and a bit tricky to get off first time.
Be careful not to rip any cables tho, I almost did cause I forgot they were connected to the front 😅
@@BuildsWithV First off thank you for replying, which direction do I slide it off?
@@SteveL11 no problem at all, towards the side (back side) of the case.
@@BuildsWithV Mine is stuck pretty hard but it does come off after a while. Thank you for the videos!
7:07 arent you scratching the glass?
I have the original 011 dynamic midtower case. Which means the paint will not scrape off as stated in this video. What should I do to get glass replacement that the paint can come off of ?
On my old case I just got custom glass made for me and painted new bezels on it.
@@BuildsWithV able to tell me where can I get custom glass ?? Any recommendations ?
@@OOHHGEE look for places that do custom glass for showers and stuff like that. That’s how I found this place close to me. I think prices went up tho which sucks. I paid $40-$50 back when I did that case and now it’s more expensive
@@BuildsWithV thank you 🙏🏻
I have the black case, and I for the life of me can't get the black paint off of the glass panels. I've tried razor blades, goof off, paint thinner and acetone. This paint is bullet proof. It seems so thin that the edge of any razor blade that I try can't catch the edge of the paint and just skates right over it
Yeah the black version is like the older model. I had to get custom glass cut for my old one. I believe it’s etched in the glass or something. No idea what it is but doesn’t come off. When I made this video I didn’t know if they made the glass the same on the evo as the original black 011.
the same here✋🤣.It's been 1 year, have you completed the O11D Evo mod yet?.I am now starting to follow the same steps as you😂
Hey man, I'm about to mod my case and build my PC in a couple weeks but I gotta order the rest of what I need for this. Most importantly what Spray paint and primer did you use? I'm just worried it'll come out looking like a different white and look weird. Do you really notice a difference?
I haven’t made an updated video but I’ve been doing these cases differently since this video. I just remove the paint on the corner carefully and no new paint is required. Just be careful and take your time and it works great.
@@BuildsWithV I meant the paint you used to touch up after using the dremel actually. Thats what I'm wondering about, I don't plan to do the glass. Just basically what paint you used to match the stock lian li cases paint so when you spray painted it that it didn't look like a different white.
@@alexangell903 oh I gotcha. Never found a paint that matches perfectly unfortunately.
@@BuildsWithV Is it noticeable different or close whatever you used? I can't see. To find answers on this.
@@alexangell903 it’s noticeable. I ended up wrapping it with some vinyl that matches better from oracle
could you please tell me name of that thing that you using for cutting the metal? i mean name and model please… thank you and have a great day V
It’s a dremel 8220.
thank you sir
You cant scratch off the paint on an 011 Dynamic right? This looks dope but I don't want to have to but custom cut glass panels
The standard 011D you can’t unfortunately, I’m not sure about the black version of the evo either. If lian li used the same method on the black evo as the original 011 then it can’t be scratched off so custom glass would be the only option. I was surprised by this white one that it was so easily scraped off.
@@BuildsWithV Alright thanks for the help! Its greatly appreciated :)
@@iMidnight_ go problem at all, glad I could help. Thanks for watching 🙏
@@BuildsWithV I can confirm, the black one isn't working. I tried everything. I got white replacement panels from Caseking though. So I did not have to buy an entire second case.
I didn't understand one thing about the 6:00 minute passage, but why do you remove the original glue from all sides of the glass? Wouldn't it be better for you to just remove the glue from the side where it will fit with the small front glass so as to have an angular effect on just the glass without the white band? I don't understand why you remove all 4 corners of the glass and then repaint those 3 sides and put the glues back on the 3 sides, isn't that a waste of time? all you had to do was remove the glue from the right side of the glass which will match the small glass and you would have saved a lot of time and fewer errors.
friend, help. The lightstrip on the front panel is burnt out, how do I remove the part with the buttons?
Remove the side screws behind the panel and then pull it back towards the rear side of the case. Comes off kinda hard but it does come off.
@@BuildsWithV I just had to push harder. The panel really holds tightly.
Thanks
In Russia, the paint is scraped off the glass without problems, using toilet cleaner, a bottle with a curved spout. And use a scraper for kitchen cooktops. And of course, before this action, you need to drink vodka and play the balalaika to mentally prepare for such a difficult and responsible job. Work, brothers!!!
Why did you saw off that one part of the case. Is drilling it off not enough?
With the 011 v1 drilling is enough but the evo you have to cut it
@@BuildsWithV Ahhhhhhhhhh, I got the evo. I did not know that... dang guess I gotta get a cutting tool now. Anything else I gotta know?!
@@alexangell903 not much, you don’t have to remove all the brackets off the glass. If you can remove just the corner paint and cut the brackets carefully then it’ll be even better than the way I did it back then.
@@BuildsWithVWhich dremel tool did you use in this video? Looks like you got the black and decker heat gun I was thinking about getting the same one. Maybe this is a dumb question but does the white spray paint you buy really matter? I'm just a bit worried about different shades and it comes out looking weird, would prefer it as close as possible to the case's paint. Dod you notice a difference in the paint color? And if not can you include the paint/primer you used.
May be a dumb question but I just haven't done projects like this before, I got a few weeks before I'll mod it though so I have time to figure it out.
I don’t understand why you didn’t just scrape the paint off the two edges that meet and leave the rest the way it came from Liam Li. Wouldn’t that be possible and then it matches perfectly and you don’t have to repaint?
At the time I thought making the bezels smaller than oem would be cool but it wasn’t worth it so ever since then, I’ve been scraping just the corner. Works great and matches beautifully
@@BuildsWithV any tips on how to scrape just the middle part perfectly so it's in line with the rest?
@@khanmu29 I just free hand it and for the most part it looks perfect. I just follow the existing line and always scrape less than needed and then follow up by scraping towards it until it’s straight. But hard to explain but hopefully that helps
I must be an ape, why did you take the bezels off just to put other ones on with tape? Also why does the white have a green tint?
I repainted the bezels (I don’t do this anymore unless I color swap). Now I just scrape the corner off the glass and keep bezels on. Idk why the white has green tint
Nice 👍🏼
Thank you 🙏
so anyone has a solution how to remove it on the black dynamic evo ?
Gotta get custom glass cut to size, can’t remove the bezel on the black unfortunately
So many people modded these case that Now they make this case
cool...but now the glass is pretty much set for life..using 2sided sticky tape means onces its on, its on..doesnt that pose a problem for building and maintenance
The tape was to hold to original brackets onto the glass. Glass comes off just like original
too bad part three isn't part 3 dor this
modding this case ould have looked great
This looks good I want to do this but if I do I will be having to remove my custom acrylic panels that glow up with different design's and that is a sacrifice I am not willing to make
Yeah I feel you there. What kind of panels do you have? Thanks for watching 🙏
@@BuildsWithV I used a Lazer Cutter to cut slots into acrylic panel then I used less power on the lazer and made a diffused design on the acrylic panel in the slots I added argb strips that I sync to my esp32 (WiFi microcontroller) the leds can sync through the esp with screen ambient custom animation motion in front of a Xbox Kinect and turn of and one with pc
@@Nb20522 wow that’s actually really cool! Do you have a video showing the results or maybe even a video showing the process? I’d love to watch something like that! Really awesome stuff 👏
I got a 360 rad with a fan sandwich. Will that weight be too much without the pillar there?
Will support it just fine.
i have the black case but the paint dont go off from the glass
Yea I figured that’d be the issue with the black glass. Same issue with my old 011D, had to get custom glass made for it
@@BuildsWithV ah ok thx
@@SpaceCemTV no problem at all
Acetone with cotton wool will remove anything
My glas paint frame wont come off too... Got the o11 mini with black frame... Why wont it come off? Thats just painted it needs to get off somehow i dont want new glas😂
You ever figure it out ?
@@2.0thondamodz75 no, stopped trying
@@oxalic8003 I figured it out! No joke ……I mixed battery acid with acetone scrubbing it out now
@@2.0thondamodz75 fr? Where do i get battery acid? Is it clean or are there any scratches after youre remove?
My friend Nat thinks it looked better the way it was originally
Nat is a bad influence 👀
Why not just remove the middle part of the paint on both glass pieces instead of redoing the whole thing?
At the time I wanted small bezels. Wasn’t worth the effort. Since then I’ve only removed the center on all other cases
@@BuildsWithV ahhhhhhh I seeeeee, nice work tho man. Kinda wanna do the same honestly
So the video is about modding the glass but you’re not telling people where to get it done or where you had it done?
At like 4 minutes I talk about how I got it done. Did it myself
looks great until you painted it as the paint is kind of offwhite and wonky a little but i like it going to juts take the support off
Yeah I redid the glass paint to a vinyl wrap and it matches much better now. Also it wasn’t even necessary to remove all of the old paint. Can cut the brackets on the glass (carefully) and then just scrape the corner off and then no matching issues and looks even better. That’s how I’ve been doing them since this video
@@BuildsWithV oh righht yeah, just ordered everyhting ready to do the modding thansk for the help man cuz yours look sick
why didnt you just stop at scraping the bezels. why did u need to repaint them white id just leave them clear like that
I wanted a small bezel. Since this video I just scrape off the corner and leave everything else alone. Much easier and looks oem. Clear would be cool but the brackets are required to mount the glass
@@BuildsWithV ahhh I see. Either way cool video man !
There are cheaper chinese cases that look almost the same so if you want to learn without ruining a good case you can try on those
So you just taped it shut

I tried to peel this sticky off, but I couldn't 6:50
I’m doing my right now I can’t can’t take it off did you fix yours?

@@Abo-Nasser642 same here I’m getting a new one soon
Wanna do my case for me lol
Can I email you
🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂
So you can never take off the glass panels to work on your pc? smart
How’d you come up with that idea?
im sorry but you white paint looks so damn off. It doesnt look good
I changed it soon after
Waste of time and energy, you could of just bought the new HYTE Y60 case
Where’s the fun in that tho? They’re not even close to the same. In my opinion this case looks better, just need a little extra love 😅
@@BuildsWithV Agreed!
If your just looking for the clean front the Hyte is the way to go but in terms of cases the o11 is better with size and airflow for cool temps. Also if you have a 40 series the o11 is better bc it’s not a tight fit.
