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)

This case is excellent if you 1) have a modular PSU, and/or 2) dont plan on using 3.5 drives. The PSU and storage compartment is extremely small and the 3.5 drive cage is not placed forward enough. 3.5 drive installation is also not tool-less, something even my old Apevia case managed to pull off. Installation of storage is clearly aimed at the gamer sub-culture, and as a result managing the PSU cables was and will be a nightmare (I have no idea how to use extension cables yet). The opaque side panel also does not have enough clearance to avoid SATA power pressing against it, creating a bow, so at least its going to be easy to decide how to place the case! The system header, including USB 3,come pre-managed, which is a great touch, unfortunately the case doesnt have a hardware reset button. ATX stems were premounted, making the motherboard install nice and quick if you have an ATX case. The pre-installed fans are configured push-pull, and when they run they are nice and quiet, all together air flow seems decent at least for mainstream CPUs. One big gotcha was that manual wasnt updated (or I received an older production run), and doesnt mention that the PSU and storage shelf is fixed in place by a screw, which wasnt the best experience to have, at least nothing got bent before I noticed the black screw on the black background. The tempered glass panel is definitely a place where no corners were cut, and its got a good heft to it, and does survive a small slip on harder surfaces. Overall the case is very nice when you are building a PC from scratch or arent going to use spinning rust for mass storage.

Bought this case back in 2020 during Prime day for $60. So it sat in my room untouched for 2 years, until this year. Installing everything was great. Case fans are alright, a bit loud tbh, planning to replace them with Scythes. But its a great case and it met all my needs!

I love this case with the exception of a couple things. The Good: The build Quality is excellent. Good Air flow I like the ease of the radiator mounting adapter for the front and top. Plenty of room for an AIO or a custom loop and large Video Card The Bad(ish): Limited room behind the motherboard try so youll have to be creative tying off excess cables. My biggest gripe pertains to the PSU compartment. My Corsair HX750 barely fit height wise. I was nearly impossible to tuck in all the PSU wires (mine is modular so i can only imagine non mod PSUs difficulty) and keep the 3.5in drive bays. This wasnt an issue for me as I have only nvme SSDs running but if you have the need for 3.5in drives and a longer than avg PSU you may want to avoid this case. Otherwise its a fantastic case and value

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.

This is one of the best cases you can get when your building a m-atx rig. I highly recommend this case to anyone. Pros: Good Looking, easy to get in to, cable management loops, comes with all screws and a good number of zip ties, power supply shroud is nice, rubber grommets for cable holes which is rare at this price point. Cons: None. If you can spend a little extra money on this case, you wont be disappointed.

Overall very nice There was one Sata connection I couldnt use due to the case design, but no big deal Fans are big, and beutiful ARGB, but loud I wish the ARGB hub supported RGB so I could use the cases front panel switch to control my AIO No power/hdd lights or reset button, which is fine by me LOTS of space and ventilation inside, and very good access

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.

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.

This is my 2nd Lian Li case and they never disappoint.
