Lian Li Lancool 216 Black ATX MidTower Gaming Case Tempered Glass, 2x160mm ARGB Fans, 1x140mm Rear Fan Included, CPU Cooling Support 180.5mm, GPU Support 392mm, 360mm Radiator Support, 7x PCI Slot (1x120mm PCIe Fan Bracket), Front I/O: 2xUS

This is a really great case. The airflow is amazing, and comes with 2x 160mm ARGB fans in the front, which really makes a lot of difference. The design itself is really well thought of - very modular and so easy to put things in and out. We use this case for our benchmarking rig and the easy of use is just top notch.. placed a massive SuprimX card on it, snap and done.. placed a small card, likewise - easy to swap... heck, one of our crew even installed a flux capacitor on it and it worked just fine.

excellent case for an upgrade!
pros: very customisable, cable management sections, 3x huge case fans! power controller+rgb on the back, lots of space for plenty of drives and different sized components etc, lots of lian li accessories can fit easily
cons: w the glass side panel it is significantly heavier, it also wider than the average mid tower to best to make sure case dimensions fit your space requirements excellent case for an upgrade!

Bought this case after reading a number of positive reviews.
Cable management options are great, ended up with a very clean back section with minimal time put in to tidying up cables.
Removable top radiator tray makes access simple for running cables and installing fans.

Only gripes:
Moving the front I/O to the low position isn't the easiest with 160mm fans installed. It will go there but it's fiddly to do and you need to partially remove the fans to run the cables.
Could do with some more holes for managing cables that connect to the bottom of the motherboard. Might not be an issue with ATX, but nothing there for MATX mobos.

All up, very happy and highly recommended.

This case was simply a joy to build in, want room up top for roof mounted radiator - check, want room for a decent air cooler - check, I went with the water cooling setup as it has 2 positions for the motherboard stand offs, cable management was typical Lian Li - Lots of room for that as well, I also went with a vertical Gpu mount, Cooling performance was above my expectations with a 20 degree drop on fan stop idle with the gpu and previous idle temps whilst under load (49c on idle and 60-70c with old case down to 29c and 49 to 55c under load for a 3060Ti). This case is a solid buy and punches well above its price point.

Great Case, has so much modularity and is designed/Built to an excellent quality. Case RGB and white color are nice too. Very Happy for the price. Great Case, has so much modularity and is designed/Built to an excellent quality. Case RGB and white color are nice too. Very Happy for the price.

Excellent case. All the cables are out of the way, tied up in their own little velcro straps. Most hidden behind the dummy back cover. Comes with a little plastic box for holding all the PC screws and fittings. And if it weren't for the pretty colors I would hardly know the computer was on given how quiet it is. Excellent case.

It's not the newest model and not the sexiest looking either, but I like it.

It's well built and does not have a cheap feel to it. The layout is very well thought out, which makes it a versatile case for fan and AIO placement etc (240-280-360mm top mount).

One thing I really like apart from the big ar$e front mounted 160mm fans giving my mobo a good blowing is the wiring behind the back panel. There's quite a lot of it. All laid out nice and tidy with solid velcro ties and retention tabs in the places they need to be. The system made it easier to not have a spaghetti junction of wires hiding behind that panel.

I'd like the 140mm rear fan to be RGB too, but I got it for about $125 on Black Friday, so can't complain. I can't fault it, so 5 stars. No wonder I found so many folks recommending this case for 280mm top mounted AIOs.

A really great case. Has all the possibilities that anyone would need in regards sapce and cooling.

Every now and then, you come across a product that simply amazes you regards how much thinking and experience and expertise has gone into the design and manufacture. This case is just one of those things. Some 15 years ago I built many PC's for customers and had experience with quite a variety of cases at the time. So when I purchased this one (on recommendation) I thought I still knew what to expect. However this case surprised me in every aspect. First the price/quality of the build, secondly the actual quality and precision and thirdly the amazing flexibility of the design, making almost any configuration possible.

So when I purchased this one (on recommendation) I thought I still knew what to expect. However this case surprised me in every aspect. First the price/quality of the build, secondly the actual quality and precision and thirdly the amazing flexibility of the design, making almost any configuration possible. At least the setup I had in mind could be achieved without any problems and every component would just fit with precision of fraction of millimeters. At no time did I encounter any issues regarding to fittings or flexibility. The manual and accessories are first class. Cooling options and video card supports, you name it, all amazing. Surely not everybody can be pleased in all aspects, but for me, I could not think of a singe aspect that I would like to be different. Never thought the final result could be so clean looking. Very pleased, giving it a 10 out of 10.

Super great case. Keeps all my components nice and cool while looking as stylish as ever. Some of the edges are a little sharp but as long as you're careful there's not much issue. RGB is nice and the cable management features are cool. For the price especially this is a must-buy case. Highly recommend. Super great case.

Upgraded from a smaller case, and this had lots of space, included some fans, and could easily fit the newest air coolers (put in a Phantom Spirit), and larger GPU's. Had no problems moving over the motherboard and components. The front panel connector hub was well laid out and easy to. Totally recommend for the price - even better when on sale.
