LIAN LI High Airflow Micro ATX PC Case, RGB Gaming Computer Case, Mesh Front Panel Mid-Tower Chassis with 2x140mm ARGB PWM Fans Pre-Installed, Tempered Glass Side Panel (LANCOOL 205M MESH, Snow)

I like this case. The quality is great. Assembly is fairly easy. I like how it comes with 2 pre-installed fans. Thats a nice addition. I even like the way you take off the tempered glass panel as it has a lip to rest the panel on and that there are notches on the corners to align the holes on the glass panel for a secure fit. For $85, I think it is a bit too expensive for what it offers and that there are better options out there with more additions for around the same price. If you can get this case for around $70 and under, it would be a better buy.

I originally got this because of its sleek and stylish look. The flat surfaces and black color are a minimal and timeless design that no one else seems to be doing without charging $100+. The internal design is pretty standard. If youve built a PC before, then you know where everythings supposed to go and what the holes are all for. Unfortunately, this is where it gets bad. The spaces that they designate for the drives are so small and thoughtless that I have to wonder what rulers they were using to measure the case. For context, I had two 2.5 SSD drives and a 3.5 HDD drive I wanted to install. There are two spots for 2.5 drives on the back of the motherboard tray. One of these slots is underneath a side lip meant to mount the outer wall on and is impossible to get the drive in there to screw it on properly. I ended up not even bothering and just taped the second SSD onto a random spot in the case. Now for the more egregious part. The drive cage for the 3.5 drives was too small. In the pictures for this specific product, their cage looks fine (its the box thing next to the battery on the bottom). The one I got was a tight metal cage with a plastic tray squeezed in there to the point where the tray was permanently deformed. The plastic tray could be stretched to fit my HDD on it, but then it wouldnt slide into the cage as intended. What the hell? I definitely DO NOT want my hard drive wiggling around anywhere, and now I have nowhere to properly screw it onto the case. Two out of three drives are secured in place with a despicable amount of tape which shouldnt be needed in the first place. I have to say it again - what rulers did they use to measure this case? Are my drives supposed to be malleable pieces of crap just to fit them into this case? Overall, the hassle with the drives makes me doubt the integrity and tolerances for the rest of the case.

Admittedly I bought this case with much consideration to its appearance and the fact it was Micro ATX. I had hoped more air ventilation in the front for better cooling, even though I suspected otherwise. Pros: (All over the page in comments if you read.) I have mixed feelings. Notes: The air flow is OK but reduced greatly by the limited intake area, and unless a person is willing to install additional high-performance front fans to force the air through the limited intake area the heat will most certainly rise quickly. (I added 2 X Noctua 1700 RPM 140mm in the front fan array and have 240 mm AIO for top fans.) This particular build was an overclocked gaming build so required more air flow for the multitude of reasons that come with gaming builds. Pros: Would I but it again? ############### Most likely. Why? ############## It looks very nice. Its a very easy install. Its spacious inside with a good internal arrangement for a Micro ATX. Decent priced Micro ATX cases seem to be rare. Its either very cheap or very expensive. Cons: The airflow alone isnt why I knocked a point off. 1.) Airflow 2.) The case seems slightly lower grade metal compared to similarly priced Corsair 4000Ds (Ive built with many Corsair cases.) 3.) The Lian Li the panel screws are either in - or - out, not secured in any other way. This used to be the standard but most mid-range cases I work with these days have more intuitive and secure fastening methods. Summary: If you are simply looking for a great looking Micro ATX with a good internal structure this is a win. Overall, a fairly solid case that is well organized internally for wiring and power supply accommodation, that comes with all the hardware fixins. Although the case certainly needs additional attention to use in an overclocked build. (This particular build being an overclocked i5 11600K 11th power hungry and hot running CPU for a six core.) its a good case for a standard build and OK if youre willing to dump more funds and time into it to fix the airflow problem.

Originally, I had intended to get the Corsair Crystal 280x, A nice, easy to assemble, and cable manage micro-atx case. However, I found this case right before I was about to order that case, and I am extremely glad I did. -For starters, the price is cheap- 70$ at the time of purchase, which is less than half than the Corsair Crystal 280x. For this price, you get exceptionally high build quality. All panels (all high-quality aluminium and tempered glass) fit perfectly and feel solid, as well as easily attach to the case. It comes with magnetic dust filters for the top and front of the case -Airflow is exceptional, and exhaust/intake restrictions are very little/none. My temps have dropped by 2-4 degress since implementing this case compared to my previous case (using corsair fans, not the stock fans). I had to mount my 240mm radiator for my AIO at the front of the case, as I could not get my fans and radiator to clear my RAM when mounting at the top. Even then, this likely varies from motherboard to motherboard. -The size! Its incredibly small, while maintaining easy part compatiblity (Ive seen builds with 3080s fitting, no problem) Its still very easy to build in as long as you use a modular PSU, and you should. Its about the same height as other micro-atx cases, but much thinner. It having a basement certainly helps with the cable management. At the end of the day, I would reccoment this case for anyone building a Micro-ATX system, Id even go as far to say this is the best bang-for-the-buck case option, maybe even the best in general. In Short: -Amazing Price -Looks Great -High Quality Build -Easy to Build in with Modular PSU -Fits most GPUs -Just get it

Really a nice looking case with high material and build quality. Good texture - sort of pebbly so no fingerprints. Glass panel is thick and heavy (good), lots of case screws. Everything went together nicely and the cable management was just fine, if not overly extensive (velco straps included with the unit). The ONLY issue was that if you look at the photo of the back of the PC, youll notice that I had to cut away the strips of metal separating two of the card slot cutouts. I used an MSI B450-A Pro Max mobo, and Radeon RX580 XXX edition GPU. While annoying, this was easily solved, though perhaps not elegantly, with a pair of wire cutters in about 5 minutes. Nice case and Id recommend it to anyone that wants a little splash (white), but no bling (no RBG built-in). Perfect for my build.

Good quality case with plenty of room for cable management and easy to build in. PC case was purchased used like new from Amazon and came with a slight tear in one of the rubber grommets, but Lian Li support was excellent and sent 2 new grommets to me free of charge. Very good case and quite impressed with the support from Lian Li.

Im glad that I purchased this case, fit very well my components and pretty room for cable management. BUT, you need more screws, you should have some to spare because, this case give you the exact amount of screws if you are installing more than 3 storage drives. I hope next time, Lian-Li give like a box of screws so you know what screws you need to place and no all in the same plastic bags. Be careful with the glass panel! Handle with care!

there is a lot to love bout the case that is why i choose it. its a small mid tower case but can still handle lots of cofigs inside case. I have 2 GPU in case and 280mm AIO and there is still lots of room. the part were this case dont get all 5 star is...Product description is wrong i planned for this case to use 5 140mm fans cause thats what the description said there would be 3 120mm/2 140mm fan top, 3 120mm/ 2 140mm front, and 1 120mm/140mm fan in rear and while not the biggest the rear fan ONLY supports 120mm fan...beside this and having to buy a new fan, everything else is great and I would recommend this case to first time builders

This case replaced a fractal define mini c. I wanted tempered glass and expandability. Didnt realize the attention to detail and how easy it is to install various aspect of the build. This is considered budget but I argue its premium for the price. Recommend this case if you want a nice slick easy build.

This case keeps my Ryzen 5 3600 stock cooler and RTX 2060 OC cool as if it is open air. The two fans included I put in the front of the case and I put 3 120mm 900rpm fans in the back. Cable management is also great but it can take some time to figure it out. The fans install onto removable metal housing and they are easy to deform! You must only hold onto the fan when tightening the screws or the plate can warp which makes it hard to install into the case. Otherwise I have had no problems and highly recommend this case. FYI the glass does not dampen much noise so if you need a silent build, you must have quiet parts
