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 love the case however it seeks to have issue with a big scratch on the back and the upper front intake fan not spinning, besides this the RGB on the fan looks lovely when spinning with the mesh front!

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!

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.

Case was just as described. Very clean and sharp looking, and has a decently premium feel. The only issue was that one of the USB ports on the front panel was warped when I received the product. Tried to slightly bend it back but it’s still non-functional. Slightly disappointed that the port arrived damaged and unusable but the rest of the case is top-notch. Update: I contacted the seller via their website and a representative reached out to arrange a replacement front IO panel. Amazing customer service on their part.

I like this case. I have not built a PC in about 5 years, so I was surprised at the ingenuity with this case. Perhaps many are like this. The Power supply is hidden from view, there is a ton of room for hard draves which are also hidden... I currently have 5, 1 M.2, 2 SSDs and 2 sata drives. None can be seen! Cable management was a breaze and this is the most clean build I have ever had. You do have to be careful taking off the heavy glass panel. If you slide it back carelessly, it will fall and hit the ground and could possibly break. As long as you pay attention taking it off it is not a problem.

Sadly, just as I had completed my build, the corner of the glass side panel slipped from my hand about 1 inch from the countertop and it shattered instantly. Im not sure if it was because of the composition of the panel, or maybe it was just the perfect angle of the fall. The panel seems a bit lighter than other cases Ive had, so it may not be real tempered glass. Either way, Im leaving this review not so much to complain but to say the customer service was great. I contacted customer support on the Lian Li website and after I sent them a photo of the break and my Amazon receipt, they responded within a few minutes, and agreed to send a new panel within about 3 hours of my message. The rest of the case is fantastic, which is why I give it a high rating despite the break. Its compact and is designed perfectly for discreet cable management. Its a tight fit with my non-modular PSU, but I was able to tuck everything away neatly. Everything seems easily accessible, and I didnt have to spend time battling the case itself to start building.

Pretty good, but it didn’t fit my graphics card when using a micro atx motherboard. The graphics card fit length-wise, but was too thick and ran into the psu shroud. I returned this case with no problems and bought a jonsbo d31 instead.

Had an old box forever, missing posts, beat up, but never had an issue. Eventually the MOBO was seated in a way that caused boot issues. I ran through all the tests and finally pulled everything out of the box and it all worked. So I needed it to sit properly. Once I saw these clear sided towers I loved the look. The fans light up which is pretty nifty. Having 3 big built in fans is great too. Everything went together fairly well. Little confusing on cord placement and the instructions were meh but I did A+ Cert and it all works. The only issue I had was my MOBO B450 does not have the RGB connector for this box. Which was momentarily upsetting but the boxes pre-installed RGB does like 5 colors, various pulsing, different speeds, etc. Pretty much what I thought I was getting anyways. Little curious what I would be able to do with the connector, more precise customization or music to pulse syncing. Anyways great tower. Recommended.

Good mid sized case, plenty of room fo a solid setup, cable routing could be better. The front and top fans have removable brackets which makes it easy to install liquid cooling. Took off one star because of cable routing and lack of vertical GPU option. All in all it’s a solid case for the price and I would definitely buy again.

the hard drive bay gives no clearance for the gpu cable to come straight down through the hole and if you have a non modular psu, then youll have one heck of a time closing the back of the case. because my sata power cable stick out too far from my hdd, so i had to physically shift the bay for everything to fit inside. hopefully when i get a new psu and some cables ill update my review. **update** the latch on the back cover was bent so i just used a screw driver to bend it back in place. after i put the back cover on, i was able to un-shift the hard drive bay back to the original position with no problems
