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)

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.

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!

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.

Just think about the thermals before you buy

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!

Absolutely beautiful style, well made, and easy to work with. Cable management ports are well thought out and work perfectly with my Corsair CX750F power supply. Mounting an ASUS PRIME X570-PRO was effortless; pre-mounted stand offs align precisely with the motherboard mounting holes. My EVGA GTX 1080 graphics card slotted in easily without any alignment issues. I did not install any drives, Im only using NVMe drives on the motherboard, but the SSD mounts are well placed on the rear of the motherboard mounting plate. There is plenty of space for the thick ATX power cables to rest inside with the side cover attached. Clever mounting design for the side cover which holds it down and prevents it from bowing out due to pressure from the ATX cables. You expect this quality from Lian Li and they deliver.

Awesome clean cool looking gaming case. It doesn’t make any noise. I recommend the white color one. It just looks clean a f.

This case is excellent if you 1) have a modular PSU, and/or 2) dont plan on using 3.5 drives. The PSU and storage compartment is extremely small and the 3.5 drive cage is not placed forward enough. 3.5 drive installation is also not tool-less, something even my old Apevia case managed to pull off. Installation of storage is clearly aimed at the gamer sub-culture, and as a result managing the PSU cables was and will be a nightmare (I have no idea how to use extension cables yet). The opaque side panel also does not have enough clearance to avoid SATA power pressing against it, creating a bow, so at least its going to be easy to decide how to place the case! The system header, including USB 3,come pre-managed, which is a great touch, unfortunately the case doesnt have a hardware reset button. ATX stems were premounted, making the motherboard install nice and quick if you have an ATX case. The pre-installed fans are configured push-pull, and when they run they are nice and quiet, all together air flow seems decent at least for mainstream CPUs. One big gotcha was that manual wasnt updated (or I received an older production run), and doesnt mention that the PSU and storage shelf is fixed in place by a screw, which wasnt the best experience to have, at least nothing got bent before I noticed the black screw on the black background. The tempered glass panel is definitely a place where no corners were cut, and its got a good heft to it, and does survive a small slip on harder surfaces. Overall the case is very nice when you are building a PC from scratch or arent going to use spinning rust for mass storage.

The case is nice and spacious. The back area to hide cable management is nice too. BUT, the color and mode buttons on it refuse to work. The only way I can manage the colors is by turning off my pc and turning it back on to see what random colors I will get. I tested each fan and their leds separately and they seem to work, but despite that the rgbs will not respond properly when I use the built in buttons. I looked online for answers, and it seems others have have issues with the fan rgbs as well. Overall, the case is functional enough and cute, but the lack of control of the fan rgbs is disappointing.

Although the case is small, there is still plenty space for long graphic card. I have I7-10700 and 5700XT and I have no heat issue at all. The magnetic filter is a big big plus for me. It is much easier to clean dust. But, there is a tiny bad design. Once you install the dedicated GPU, there will be a big hole on the slot, which was covered by a piece of metal if you dont install GPU. Overall, this is still a good buy from Lian Li
