Lian Li O11D EVO XL vs Fractal Design Meshify 2 XL

Both are full towers built for big builds, but they aim at different priorities. The Lian Li O11D EVO XL is the better pick for a showpiece water-cooled build: dual tempered glass, a reversible layout and room for up to three 420mm radiators. The Fractal Design Meshify 2 XL is the better pick for storage-heavy or air-cooled work: a mesh front, eight 3.5-inch bays, two 5.25-inch bays and 549mm of GPU clearance. Owners of the O11D EVO XL praise the build quality and flexibility; Meshify 2 XL owners praise airflow and drive capacity.

• Choose the Lian Li O11D EVO XL if you want a glass showcase with a reversible interior and maximum radiator support.
• Choose the Fractal Design Meshify 2 XL if you need a mesh airflow front, many hard drives and long graphics card clearance.
