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 originally got this because of its sleek and stylish look. The flat surfaces and black color are a minimal and timeless design that no one else seems to be doing without charging $100+. The internal design is pretty standard. If youve built a PC before, then you know where everythings supposed to go and what the holes are all for. Unfortunately, this is where it gets bad. The spaces that they designate for the drives are so small and thoughtless that I have to wonder what rulers they were using to measure the case. For context, I had two 2.5 SSD drives and a 3.5 HDD drive I wanted to install. There are two spots for 2.5 drives on the back of the motherboard tray. One of these slots is underneath a side lip meant to mount the outer wall on and is impossible to get the drive in there to screw it on properly. I ended up not even bothering and just taped the second SSD onto a random spot in the case. Now for the more egregious part. The drive cage for the 3.5 drives was too small. In the pictures for this specific product, their cage looks fine (its the box thing next to the battery on the bottom). The one I got was a tight metal cage with a plastic tray squeezed in there to the point where the tray was permanently deformed. The plastic tray could be stretched to fit my HDD on it, but then it wouldnt slide into the cage as intended. What the hell? I definitely DO NOT want my hard drive wiggling around anywhere, and now I have nowhere to properly screw it onto the case. Two out of three drives are secured in place with a despicable amount of tape which shouldnt be needed in the first place. I have to say it again - what rulers did they use to measure this case? Are my drives supposed to be malleable pieces of crap just to fit them into this case? Overall, the hassle with the drives makes me doubt the integrity and tolerances for the rest of the case.

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.

Its been a few years since Ive built a system for myself and I just kind of blindly pulled the trigger on a Lian Li case because for, I dunno, 20 years? Theyve just been the go to. Absolutely not disappointed. If I had one criticism, itd be the complete and total lack of reasonable instructions, and also the fact that the instructions are *inside* the PSU/HDD compartment that was a PITA to get open. tl;dr, theres a little screw hiding that holds it extra in? Pulled it and disposed of it and now it works perfectly. Otherwise, its just a great case. Very intelligent cable management with the fans/front ports/etc., and it ya know, actually *comes* with a couple fans, which is great. Materials feel rock solid, the actual holes for PSU cables to run through are very good (though it gets a little tight to get to CPU power in my situation.) Still though, unless something drastic changes, I just wont buy a case from another company.

This case keeps my Ryzen 5 3600 stock cooler and RTX 2060 OC cool as if it is open air. The two fans included I put in the front of the case and I put 3 120mm 900rpm fans in the back. Cable management is also great but it can take some time to figure it out. The fans install onto removable metal housing and they are easy to deform! You must only hold onto the fan when tightening the screws or the plate can warp which makes it hard to install into the case. Otherwise I have had no problems and highly recommend this case. FYI the glass does not dampen much noise so if you need a silent build, you must have quiet parts

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.

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

I 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.

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 bought this case for slim down a little from my corsair 4000D. This case looks nice but when assembling it I could immediately tell the build quality compared to the corsair case is really sub par. I had to take my motherboard water cooler etc out of my case just to get the stupid usb cable attached. It is nice that my motherboard has the side slotted usb header but this case has no room to get it through. The panel screws fall out anytime you have to take a panel off and they fall out onto the floor. I just buillt a pc in an rgb rosewill case that is $56 and is far better than this piece of crap. I honestly may send this back and get a corsair again( sold off my 5600x to build 7600x pc) The main reason I bought this case is for the Name. Lian Li. My sons dynamic mini is awesome. This case is very un-awesome and it should be $45. I wanted to have a quiet pc for audio recording and this was supposed to have really good airflow. Unfortunately it doesnt seem to matter as even with 240mm aio for my 7600x it still goes to 90c which is normal. If anyone reads this seriously consider a better case. This case is below the nzxt 510i as far as I am conserned as well.

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.
