> 3 dayIts Lian Li, what do you expect? The package was damaged when it arrived, but the case was perfect condition so no issues from the damage. I like the all black front panel connectors so they blend in instead of the ugly colored cables. The one downside to this case is not a lot of cable management space. Its not bad if you dont use sleeved cables and fan/light hubs. Overall I got it to work though and am happy with it.

> 3 dayWhen 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.

> 3 dayI bought a Used - Like New case and it just had the rear fan missing. It CAN fit a 280mm AIO on the top if you buy separate fans that are smaller like the ID Cooling 15mm ones because originally it does not clear the CPU cable on the Motherboard (I just jimmy rigged it to worked and put some screws in different holes). Also, it WILL fit an XFX rx 6950xt and it is a 3 fan card and pretty long. The Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX Motherboard did fit but JUST barely. Overall, I would have to say that although some things were tight to try and work in or around, I would recommend this case.

17-01-2025I made my first PC build a couple of months ago with this case, and after all these months of having it, I don’t regret buying it. It’s not difficult to manage everything you need in it. It’s very forgiving for the sizes of your parts (and I have a questionably sized graphics card). Very easy to wire manage and being a simple design that’s easy to customize. I don’t regret buying it.

14-01-2025The lancool 205 is an ultra budget, completely barebones case that is priced as a mid range/semi-premium chassis solely off of its brand name. Unfortunately it only besmirches the reputation that lian li has built up through its other cases. This case lacks 360mm rad support, a mesh front (airflow is definitely a concern for this one), and rubber grommets for cable management, which is quite disappointing for the general price this case is usually found at. The build quality on the 205 isnt great either-- some of the thinner metal (especially near the PSU basement panel corners) in the removable panels bends incredibly easily. Additionally, the thumbscrews dont all go in straight either on my unit (the panel and main chassis are misaligned). Dont get me wrong, it is a functional case that will likely meet your needs, especially if you are a beginner builder who doesnt particularly care about airflow or wont be opening the case up to do maintenance often, which is the only reason I didnt take off more stars. But quite frankly there are strictly better options available for the same price (cooler master, phanteks, msi, etc. all have better offerings at the ~70-80 dollar price point so just take your pick).

> 3 dayNew build for my daughter. Previously used a lancool II for my own build and was impressed with the quality. This did not disappoint. Quality was great and building was above average. Only issues were with standoffs having to be moved which is no big deal. Had plenty of room for gpu which always seems to be a problem with this size of case. The price is also a factor to consider. You get a lot for your money with Liam Li cases so dont hesitate.

> 3 dayHard to beat the price for budget build. Looks clean and easy to navigate. Wish the front fan cable were a little longer to reach on my MSI board. Top screws for my AIO did not want to match up with the top of the case. Not sure if the case or the AIO is to blame. Cinebench 3600x and temps don’t exceed 70c

> 3 dayI 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!

> 3 dayI 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.
