I basically have three cases that are on the table at the moment;
1. LIAN PC-O11
2. fractal Design R6
3. Fractal design meshify S2
Because I mean $200.00 for a case is quite a bit. If there was a case like the LIAN, but less expensive than I would probably get it. And I mean I like the S2 but again, $200.00, when you could get something like the R6 for ~ 20% less.
I was looking at the the dynamic one https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112583&ignorebbr=1 I really enjoy this case, the capabilities on it are nice, there is extra room (in terms of my system) and the PSU position makes it really easy to install a system.Air or Dynamic?
Both are solid options in their respective categories - Air cooling or Liquid cooling.

Lian Li O11 Air Case Review & Benchmarks | GamersNexus
stub Lian Li’s O11 Air is one of the most awaited cases this year, first shown at CES in January. The O11 Air is advertised as an airflow-focused case, the counterpart to the O11 Dynamic (~$130). This is done by removing the tempered glass on the O11 Dynamic (reviewed here), and instead opting...www.gamersnexus.net
Uh, liquid cooling was the path I chose.@I Josh I did you end up going with liquid cooling:? If not, the "Air" variant may well be a better choice.
I thought you were set on the Meshify S2? 🤣
It's a nice case.... Just don't know if I would call it ~$190 'nice' 🤣
What is it you like about the O11?
Perhaps the ThermalTake Core P3 might appear to you?

It's not fully enclosed though,
Wow, that's the pricetag on the S2? From a value standpoint, that's a bit tough to justify - a 20% markup over the R6 for the mesh panel...
I guess if you like the O11 and are prepared to drop ~$190 on the S2, it's a viable option,.

You guys/gals and your $200,$300, and even $400 cases!![]()

The R6 (and therefor S2) along with the O11 are solid cases...
I've shared my thoughts with you previously, and the Meshify-C is where I'd look ($110-$120).
But if you like the slightly larger aspect of the R6, S2 and O11, then perhaps some of these offerings might interest you (for near half the price).
