> 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.

> 3 dayI 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.

Greater than one weekBest looking case I could fine for my price range. It feels high quality and looks super sleek. The magnetic dust filter on top is super easy to clean. The case was the perfect size as well.

> 3 dayGot the white version and built a PC for a friend in this. I was worried about a white PC case, but this thing is sleek, stylish, and now has me wondering if I should use it for my own PC. Ive built about 6 systems, mostly in a lower budget tier than this. Compared to those $20-$50 cases, this is a pleasure to work in. Great design. Quality manufacturing. Plenty of room to work and cable manage. The front panel pops off easily and the power buttons are attached to the chassis, so no tugging the cables when you pull it off. Has an interesting rail mount system for the fans, which made those slightly easier to install. My only slight con is the black magnetic dust filter on top of the case. I feel it slides very easily/the magnets arent that strong. Also, it may just be the black mesh on white metal, but I feel my PC has a finer, higher quality looking mesh on it. Still, it looks good from a normal distance and wont move if youre not touching it. Overall, great case for a reasonable price. Definitely felt the difference an extra $30 made.

Greater than one weekThis chassis is beautiful, nice design. Have nice filters with magnets, easy to manipulate with. There are also many ways to arrange the fans inside. I give it 4 stars because the interior is not designed the best. There is separate compartment on the bottom for power unit and hard disks. The cover that separates it with the rest of chassis, has only two holes to use for moving cables around. Both are close to the motherboard (once installed), and one hole is really impossible to use since the power unit will cover it. Speaking of it, make sure you do not buy power supply with rgbs since the fan will be facing bottoms. Unless you lie the tower sideways, there is no use for rgb power supply. The rest of components were easy to install (motherboard, AIO, memory, gpu..)

> 3 dayUPDATE: Downgrading to 3 stars. The glass panel on the side keeps popping off of the metal brackets holding it to the case. Im going to have to completely disassemble the side panel and try to repair it. Huge annoyance on an otherwise good case. When people first started modding cases a long long time ago, Lian Li made beautiful cases. At the time I was a broke college student and could never afford higher-priced cases. Fast forward 20 years, a wife, and two kids and I finally got around to building a new PC and getting a Lian Li case. My wait was not a disappointment. The case is everything I thought it would be. Well laid out with plenty of room for everything I needed to put in it. The removable filters are easy to get to. I was able to somehow hide all the cables on the back of the machine. The case was very easy to fully disassemble, which made building the PC easy. Did I mention this is my first PC build in over 15 years? My how things have changed, yet stayed the same. The fans it comes with are nice and quiet. I moved them to the top of the case and added 3 TT 120mm RGB fans on the front and back of the PC for additional airflow. I use my system for CAD and media editing, so I had a lot of storage to cram in there. My build is as follows: ASRock X570 Ryzen 7 3700X 32GB RAM RTX2070 1 - 500G M.2 NVME 1 - 256G SSD 2 - 3.5 2TB HDs 750Watt modular power supply The case still has room for a second SSD and a third 3.5 HD. I used a Dremel to cut a slot in one of the PCI covers so I could run power/signal to some RGBs under the case. I still plan on sleeving a new GPU power cable to make that part of the PC look a little better. I have three complaints, which is why I gave it 4 stars. 1) If youre using full-sized hard drives in the drive cage on the bottom, then the power and sata cables are a very very tight fight between the back of the hard drives and the back panel on the case. I got them to fit, but the cables are bent at a slightly precarious angle. 2) The mounting brackets on the glass panel are held on with double sided mounting tape. The front bracket on my glass panel came off in shipping. I was able to stick it back on, but after a few weeks I can see where the lower corner of the glass is pulling away from the bracket again. Im also not sure at what point this happened, but theres a decent scuff on the glass. I thought it was just a smudge and tried to clean it off, but its still there. I thought I was careful with the glass panel when building the machine, but maybe it slid on the workbench or something. 3) The fan mount for the top of the case, which would also be the radiator mount. The mount is held in by 1 screw near the back of the case and two pins on the front of the case. With the front just being held in by two tabs, it allows the mounting bracket to vibrate against the top of the case when the fans are spinning. I suppose if it had a radiator on it, the weight would be enough to keep it from vibrating, but with just two 120mm fans, mine does. The simple fix was I used a zip tie to pull the mounting bracket tight against the top of the case. Not really much of a complaint, more of an annoyance, but the PS has to be slid in from the side of the case. The rear panel doesnt remove to slide it in from the back. I found it easier to put all the cables on outside of the case. Then, with the hd cage removed, slide the PS in. Lastly, I slide the HD cage back into the case and screwed it back in. Once fully built, the machine sitting on my desk is one of the prettiest cases Ive ever owned.

Greater than one weekCase 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.

> 3 dayI like the simple design of this case. Instructions/ manual is a bit lacking in cretin areas you sometimes have to look at what screws do what because the manual can be a bit vague. Careful if you are doing a vertical gpu with a full length card it can be a bit tight xD. Keep in mid as it is a little deceiving on the length of the case. Its taller then it is long, surprised me a little bit but i still love it. Tips: You may have to slide the hdd cage towards the front more then when it arrives if you have a longer PSU. if you have hdds you might have to mount them towards the glass unless you have some 90* sata cables. Keep you cables managed in the back there is JUST enough room to route cables (reason for 90* sata)^
