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)

This case was an absolute pleasure to build in. So many quality of life’s features in here that makes it much easier to install your parts, such as fan brackets, man holes around the motherboard for cabling, and the ability to quickly remove any part of the frame for better access. The only problem I faced was the top fan bracket, where it can only be installed one direction (even though it looks as though it can be both ways). In reality that was my fault though, and only a minor thing. The case is manufactured well and I’ve never has thumb screws in the back glide in so smoothly. You can feel the quality and precision when building. I highly recommend this case.

Bought this case back in 2020 during Prime day for $60. So it sat in my room untouched for 2 years, until this year. Installing everything was great. Case fans are alright, a bit loud tbh, planning to replace them with Scythes. But its a great case and it met all my needs!

This is my 2nd Lian Li case and they never disappoint.

WOW. Bought as a replacement for my Rosewill case to add more fans. You can fit two Noctua 140mm fans up top or an AIO as well as two Noctua 140mm fans in front. A Noctua 120mm fan for the rear fits like it was laser cut for my mobo. The cable management is easy and abundant. There are no rubber or plastic grommets, just folded over metal lips that are safe for even small, unprotected wires like my CPU cooler fan cable. There are magnetic mesh filters for the front and top fans. I will be purchasing from Lian Li again if I ever see a need to get another case. Cons: The two fans that come complimentary with the case burn out in a month. Dont bother attempting to use them like I did.

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.

Super cool case literally. The design is great mine came with 3 pre installed fans with a hub for the rgb so it was just 2 connections to the motherboard and that was it for the cooling. I run star citizen in 2k and everything stays at 40°c I love this case it will last me a long time for sure!

Case seems nice, panels fit together well, as do dust filters on top and front. The main issue I had with the case is that it was supposed to support a 280mm radiator in front, and while the bracket to attach the radiator does support it, the cable port in back gets in the way. Basically, if your radiator including fans is greater than 1.75 (or slightly less), it will not fit. I understand the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280mm is exceptionally large at 2.5, but my other radiator would not fit either at 2. Lian Li website indicates the top would support a 280mm as well, but fitment was even worse there. Had to send the case back.

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.

Had purchased this case as i still wanted to go the matx route with my pc but didnt want to have the corsair 280x anymore as the case was too wide. I wanted more space on my desk so i thought this case was the perfect choice and it was very new. The one MASSIVE reason i returned the item is you can not fit an AIO above if you have almost any RGB ram. I wanted to keep my aio on top but because they didnt add maybe 1/2 to 1 inch of space above you can not do it (ex 240mm against corsair vengeance rgb ram). 2nd reason but was much smaller is that only the atx size of this case comes with usb on top while the matx model only has usb 3.0. Was exactly what I was looking for but they had just one main oversight with that clearance on top that stopped me from keeping the case. Maybe they will do a revision on the case at some point then I would love to give the case a second chance!

This case is wonderful! The airflow and build quality is exactly what you expect from Lian Li but my only issue is that it does not entirely fit a full ATX board and a 280mm AIO when it’s mounted in the top of the case. 4.5 stars imo
