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)

Maybe Im just old. But I remember needing to pay $60+ for a middle-quality case back in the early 2000s, and it had almost none of the convenient features this thing does. Theres thumb screws, sliding panels, cable tie-off points, and a thousand different little ways this case helps you keep things organized (and air cooling friendly). Granted, I lived with my last case for over 10 years, swapping out the components inside over that time, so maybe I just didnt realize how convenient the entry level case is now. Regardless, Im very impressed.

Ive used Lian Li cases for a long time. This is my third one and although it isnt aluminum like my others, it is still a very nice case and I love the way it looks. Its so clean, inside and out. This one seems to be made with the same stamped steel that most cases are made of and it was easy to figure out without ever opening the manual. It has no CD/DVD/Blu-Ray drive bay so youll have to go external if you still like to rip CDs. It has no reset button or HDD led, only power button and power LED, which simplifies motherboard connection. The hard drive bays are plastic. It is super quiet with my motherboard controlling the fan speeds and set to quiet operation, as it should be. Also, the fan intakes have screens that can be removed for cleaning and it has lots of room inside for watercooling. The cable routing is amazing! Look how clean that is! It took no effort to make it look like that. There are 4 drives in there and... just look at it!

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

Easy to work in, side panels come off with thumb screws, enough space underneath and in back to cable manage. Only real concern is the room for a graphics card to breath... But so far Ive managed great temps even with half an inch of space. Card never sees above 70°c, so I assume the air flow in case is more than sufficient! I highly recommend stepping up to the 140mm fans up front as intakes, and exhaust the rest.

I have built around 100 PCs and most very cheap and this case doesn’t seem any nicer than the $50-60 ones from diy pc.

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.

I so wanted to love this. I really like Lian Li products. I do like this case. I just dont love it. There is an okay amount of space for cable management, but could be better. Its just a weird little case. I dont even know how to explain it. Theres a lot of good and not so good. I think the reviews do a good job at explaining this case, so Im not going to go into it. I like it. I dont love it. Its also surprisingly small. I dont mind this because I wanted to do a micro case, but went back and forth on it. Then this went on sale. Im glad I got it at the price I did.

Definitely a great mid-ATX case for any PC builder looking for an airflow type case. There is a fan hub on the back that makes it so only one fan header is needed for all three fans, which is great if you have a cheap motherboard with few headers. It will have enough space for what ever you decide to do with it and it does have hooks for zipties or velcro on the back. However, it is a little tight on the bottom for cables after you put the PSU in, but you should be able to shove everything in just right. I would definitely buy this case again, and its a great deal with the three A-RGB fans and fan hub. There are about 6 or 7 A-RGB headers on the fan-hub so if you have any more A-RGB fans, you can plug them in there as well.

So overall, this case is a pretty good one, and a pretty good upgrade from my H510 Elite Case. Here are some of the benefits of 205 Mesh. Pros: -A good amount of usb 3.0 and usb c ports in the front (an upgrade from my previous case) - Allows for good airflow, depending on how many fans you have installed - Although I changed the fans, they did come with a rgb controller and actually looks pretty good - A good amount of room for a large two fan gpu to fit - Also has a good amount of space in the back to add up a bunch of ssds and hdds Cons: - One if the major cons that really pissed me off (and almost made me return the case) was the radiator clearance. On the site, Amazon listing, and manual, it says that for aio radiator 280mm can fit to the front of the case. I’m telling you this right now it doesn’t. I had to change the orientation of my aio, which wouldn’t haven been bad if even at the top of the case my aio would barely fit. I have a b450 thomahwak max and a 280mm kraken cooler. There is literally no space up there and I had to maneuver it in a way where it could fit. Luckily it did, although I’m not sure for 240mm aios, I think you guys will face the same situation but have a better outcome. Other than the cooler situation, this case was pretty easy to build in. And deserves 4 stars. Warnings: -If you have a 3 fan gpu do not buy this case it will not fit -If you have a 280mm cooler, the only way you can orient the cooler in a functional way would be ontop.

It had been 10 years since I had built my last computer, and it was time. After a lot of searching I settled on this case and I have not been disappointed. It was packaged extremely well for shipping protection. The fit and finish is as close to perfect as I think you can get. All the panels and removeable items slide on and off easily and are secured with metal thumb knobs -- no funky alignment issues and frustrations. The material is a good compromise between weight and strength. There is no tin canning and everything feels substantial. The finish and paint are perfect. The interior room is very ample for a clean installation and cable routing yielding a very nice finished look. It is a very easy case to work with. It comes with two fans, but I added a third, placing it on the front panel, which was very easy. There are a few wish it had items, however: The bottom air filter is not in a tray and may be inconvenient to clean; the case does not have a beeper, disk activity LED, or reset button, all of which I had become used to. All in all I am very pleased with my decision and purchase. I recommend this case without reservation.
