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)

Ive used Lian Li cases for a long time. This is my third one and although it isnt aluminum like my others, it is still a very nice case and I love the way it looks. Its so clean, inside and out. This one seems to be made with the same stamped steel that most cases are made of and it was easy to figure out without ever opening the manual. It has no CD/DVD/Blu-Ray drive bay so youll have to go external if you still like to rip CDs. It has no reset button or HDD led, only power button and power LED, which simplifies motherboard connection. The hard drive bays are plastic. It is super quiet with my motherboard controlling the fan speeds and set to quiet operation, as it should be. Also, the fan intakes have screens that can be removed for cleaning and it has lots of room inside for watercooling. The cable routing is amazing! Look how clean that is! It took no effort to make it look like that. There are 4 drives in there and... just look at it!

This is a great case. Flawlessly installed my ROG Strix B550-F Gaming Wifi motherboard, modular PSU, cpu cooler (Scythe Fuma 2), and GPU. Build quality is great and airflow has been great for me so far. I kept the drive bay in because I have a 3.5 HDD installed on the lowest slot, and theres still enough room for all the cables. There is one small issue, and that has to do the the front I/O audio jacks. Since the cables on the case and the HD audio header on the motherboard isnt shielded, there is a lot of electrical interference. As a result, the microphone jack in my case does not work. On zoom and using a voice recorder, the microphone ONLY records static. What i recommend is that you plug in your microphone, headset or whatever directly into the motherboard itself. Since mobos have dedicated shields and devices for audio. So I plug in my microphone and audio jack into my motherboard and that fixed the problem. Microphone picks up my voice clearly now. Didnt have this issue with another case, and its definitely not my motherboard. So Im taking off one star cuz this issue is with the case. Other than that, great case.

I 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.

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.

Fits 2x 280mm AIOs. There are AIO racks to make mounting easier (you screw the rads into them instead of the case itself). Quality build, not much bigger than a micro ATX case either! The front panel has a mesh filter as well, which is nice. It also pops off very easily. Cable management is fine, PSU Shroud is fine. Idk, it’s a good case.

Admittedly I bought this case with much consideration to its appearance and the fact it was Micro ATX. I had hoped more air ventilation in the front for better cooling, even though I suspected otherwise. Pros: (All over the page in comments if you read.) I have mixed feelings. Notes: The air flow is OK but reduced greatly by the limited intake area, and unless a person is willing to install additional high-performance front fans to force the air through the limited intake area the heat will most certainly rise quickly. (I added 2 X Noctua 1700 RPM 140mm in the front fan array and have 240 mm AIO for top fans.) This particular build was an overclocked gaming build so required more air flow for the multitude of reasons that come with gaming builds. Pros: Would I but it again? ############### Most likely. Why? ############## It looks very nice. Its a very easy install. Its spacious inside with a good internal arrangement for a Micro ATX. Decent priced Micro ATX cases seem to be rare. Its either very cheap or very expensive. Cons: The airflow alone isnt why I knocked a point off. 1.) Airflow 2.) The case seems slightly lower grade metal compared to similarly priced Corsair 4000Ds (Ive built with many Corsair cases.) 3.) The Lian Li the panel screws are either in - or - out, not secured in any other way. This used to be the standard but most mid-range cases I work with these days have more intuitive and secure fastening methods. Summary: If you are simply looking for a great looking Micro ATX with a good internal structure this is a win. Overall, a fairly solid case that is well organized internally for wiring and power supply accommodation, that comes with all the hardware fixins. Although the case certainly needs additional attention to use in an overclocked build. (This particular build being an overclocked i5 11600K 11th power hungry and hot running CPU for a six core.) its a good case for a standard build and OK if youre willing to dump more funds and time into it to fix the airflow problem.

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

The computer was built over a year ago with this component and still working great.

This case is wonderful! The airflow and build quality is exactly what you expect from Lian Li but my only issue is that it does not entirely fit a full ATX board and a 280mm AIO when it’s mounted in the top of the case. 4.5 stars imo

Ive always had Lian li cases, my first and second builds where in them. This is a very good budget case that will continue to look good for some time into the future. Its monolithic, spacious enough, and the build quality is superb. Only complaint is how it uses plastic pin connectors for the front panel connection to the case. I can see those breaking easily or overtime degrading.
