The all new Lian Li PC-011 Air has just been released and is an all refresh of the PC-011 (Dynamic) series chassis which allows for much better airflow. The PC-011 Air can be outfitted to handle a total of twelve 120mm case fans meaning airflow will no longer be an issue. Two 80mm fans can also be mounted to the back if needed. If water cooling is your flavor, the PC-011 can handle more than a couple 36mm radiators as well. Now, with all this airflow, dust would certainly be an issue right? Not necessarily as all front, top and side panels are all equipped with magnetic dust filters which will keep most of the dust out.
Looking at the outside of the PC-011 Air chassis, a couple off the panels were changed to accommodate the increase in cooling fans. One of which was the removal of the solid tempered glass panel. The new panel on the Air is no longer solid and has the ability to install three 120mm fans in its place. Another notable change was the addition of a USB 3.1 Type-C port in addition to the two USB 3.0 ports found on the Dynamic series.

Not a fan of the Air, but I want an elite version of the PC-O11 Dynamic – same case but much better build quality. Full CNC aluminum chassis and panels barring the glass panels of course.
Agreed. This one would only be the optimal choice if you NEEDED three 360mm rads.
