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)

Fits 2x 280mm AIOs. There are AIO racks to make mounting easier (you screw the rads into them instead of the case itself). Quality build, not much bigger than a micro ATX case either! The front panel has a mesh filter as well, which is nice. It also pops off very easily. Cable management is fine, PSU Shroud is fine. Idk, it’s a good case.

Cons: Front Panel is closed off with side vent, higher temperature with Front Panel On Recommended is to take it off Pros: Lots of holes for cable ties and cable management Comes with 2 120mm fans Screws are provided White color looks clean HDD bay provided in the bottom of case

I picked this case for my first PC build mostly because of aesthetics. I love the clean white and dark glass. The case comes with two small fans, which I didnt know when I bought it (maybe I didnt read the product description thoroughly!) but its a nice bonus. Both fans are well-made, quiet, and easy to reposition. The design is intuitive. You dont really need the manual to understand how to take it apart and put it back together. Because this was my first build I spent a fair amount of time troubleshooting. The case is easy to disassemble. The glass side was especially nice for visually checking if things were correct before booting, checking light indicators, and just being able to see all my hard work :D

“Budget” they say. Well I say quality!

I used the Lancool 205 Micro case for my first PC build and I couldnt be happier! Its an amazing micro case and I absolutely loved how it turned out. Im not at all an expert in PC building, but I hope that my feedback helps a bit! Here are my specs - GTX 1050 - GIGABYTE B550M DS3H - Crucial Ballistix 3200 MHz DDR4 - ARCTIC Freezer 34 eSports DUO - GIM KB-28 RGB Case Fans, 3 Pack White 120mm - EVGA 220-G3-0750-X1 Super Nova 750 G3, 80 Plus Gold 750W - Seagate BarraCuda 2TB Internal Hard Drive HDD - Crucial MX500 1TB - AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Pros - Really easy to work with - Lots of different ways to route cables - Simple and minimalist design - Micro tower is small enough to fit on top of a desk without looking too big - Air flow on the back, top, front, below the psu, and on the sides of the front panel (enough to fit total of 5 fans // 1 fan in the back, 2 fans on the top, and 2 fans in the front) - Removeable Magnetic dust filters on the top and the bottom - Fits the ARCTIC Freezer 34 Esports (grey/white) PERFECTLY, goodness I was worried that my cpu cooler wouldnt fit, but it fit absolutely perfect with a tiny bit of room between the tempered glass and the front of the cpu cooler - the gap in the front is big enough to fit a custom rgb panel - the temps are nice! my GPU runs around 35-41°C - the glass feels very high qu (its pretty heavy too!) Cons - I wasnt sure if this was the motherboard or the case (maybe it was just me?) but I found it very difficult mounting the motherboard onto the case. When I would screw the motherboard onto the case, I just could not get them to go inside. I managed to get the corners in, so I left it at that. This may have just been my fault though and I didnt want to strip the screws :( - This is me just being a little picky, but I wish the little raised cable management things in the back of the case (Im not sure what the technical term is) was slightly larger to fit bigger zip ties and velcro cable ties - I wasnt sure if the case was supposed to come with a mounting tray, but mine didnt come with any (Im still not sure if the mounting is included or not) so I put my HDD in the drive bay and I placed my SSD right on top of the drive bay and zip tied it down Overall, the microATX case is absolutely beautiful and very well made! Its user-friendly and great for beginners that want a smaller build!

This was my first time building a more compact pc, previous experience has been with the bigger towers that have a ton of wiggle room to work with inside I was impressed by the ease it was working in this, and even more impressed it can actually fit a 4090 (albeit just barely, were talking within a millimeter, but hey if it fits it sits). The cable management options are appreciated and well implemented. Glass panels look sharp. Easy recommendation.

As I slid it out from the case, it slipped and the corner hit the counter top. It shattered instantly. Recommend either being super cautious with sliding the side open. But as a silver lining to this sad story, Lian-Li were fabulous and are shipping me out a new glass side panel. Very nice of them - they didnt have to do that. Other than the glass, I like the case design and its multi-zoned approach. Makes my motherboard, proc and GPU look great!

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.

Coming from a bad experience with an H510 Standard (overly tightened screws that all stripped, horrific thermals resulting in fans spinning up to max speeds, awful side panel thumbscrews, a USB 3.0 Header that was designed in a way that it could break off INSIDE your motherboard), the LANCOOL 205 is a breath of fresh air (quite literally for my PC). First off it shares a similar design aesthetic, tempered glass side panel, minimalist interior and exterior design, and a bar for cable management. The first thing to note in comparison to the H510, the LANCOOL 205 features much more airflow, with vents on both sides of the front panel, which is also removable instead of being part of the main chassis. The front and top ventilation feature magnetic dust filters and easily removable brackets (no thumbscrews, but with sliding pegs and can optionally be firmly secured with externally threaded screws) that support dual 120/140mm fans. The side panels do not feature the questionable design choice to place the side panels mounting holes spaced out from the main chassis (which on the H510, forces you to MANUALLY line up the thumbscrews because for whatever reason, theyre not secured perfectly straight on the side panels which allows them to spindle inside their mounting holes, and if you completely un-thread the thumbscrews, their purpose as thumbscrews becomes moot, as they cannot be re-threaded by hand), and standard sized thumbscrews that function as thumbscrews. The panel for the PSU bay can also be removed just in case you need the extra space to manage your PSUs cables and the hard drive bay. The hard drive bay is secured in place by thumbscrews on a sliding rail and can be adjusted to account for your PSU, and the back panel features ample space for cable management as well. Cable routing is also very easy due to the space provided in the interior, especially when plugging in the CPU power cable. Finally, the front I/O features 2 USB 3.0, separate microphone and audio jacks, and a power LED that doesnt flash like a strobe light, and while it lacks a front USB Type-C connector featured on the H-series cases (which was not supported by a B450 motherboard), a Type-C connector, if it matters that much to you, can be added through a PCI-E card or a motherboard that contains it on its back I/O. All in all, the LANCOOL 205 was easy to work in and build in, features the same aesthetics of the H-series cases without the hassle, and has a front I/O that works and doesnt constantly flash in the corner of your eye, I can highly recommend this case.

When I bought this case, I was worried the great looks I saw in the thumbnail would be a front of a crappy poorly designed cheapo looking product in real life. I was pleasantly surprised to find the case lives up to its great looks and has a great build design. I really like the harddrive and power supply bay, as it just makes the build clean and keeps the clutter away from the view through the glass panel.
