Lian Li 011 alternative?

[ramm]

I think this is the best looking case there currently is. But im just wondering are there any alternatives? With the similar design that is. Glass on both front+side and fans coming from the back.

 

Also i'm not sure if a new version of this case is coming out soon and if I should wait or not.

 

Thanks

So many that I’m wondering if those are the only actual criteria.

Most modern cases have air front to back.  A lot of them have glass both sides.  Especially if you’re willing to pay a premium.  With Lian Li you also generally get an aluminum case which may matter.  They also like special screws.

 

Personally, Ive never understood glass period much less glass both sides.  Glass on the main face means you get no side air but do get to look at the innards.  Glass both sides means on side is nothing but a mass of cables and mostly means cable management is extra critical because there’s nowhere to hide your crimes.  People like it though so such cases are made.

No reason to wait for a new O11D, the current one is fantastic in every way. 

 

There are a few knockoffs. Antec has their P120 as an example. I think there's one other notable one but I cant think of it off the top of my herad
