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

I did a fare amount of research before settling on the Lian Li Lancool 216... so very glad I did! This case surprises at every point in the build, and continues to surprise (in great ways) as and when I need to add components to the build. I would strongly recommend the Lian Li 216 to anyone looking to have an adaptable PC Case that they can "grow" with... you won't go wrong. PB Tech had the best price for this - yet again!

This case has great cooling and lots of room and flexibility when it comes to placement of fans, radiators, etc. The motherboard can be mounted in two different configurations as well as options for vertical mounting of the PCIE cards (however the purchase of a separate riser card is required for this configuration).

Downsides are the placement of the optional cooling fan bracket behind the expansion slots which doesn't leave enough room to plug cables in. I found that mounting the fan on the outside of the bracket instead of the inside helps with this, but leaves the fan sticking out more in the back and allows some airflow to bypass th...view more This case has great cooling and lots of room and flexibility when it comes to placement of fans, radiators, etc. The motherboard can be mounted in two different configurations as well as options for vertical mounting of the PCIE cards (however the purchase of a separate riser card is required for this configuration).

Downsides are the placement of the optional cooling fan bracket behind the expansion slots which doesn't leave enough room to plug cables in. I found that mounting the fan on the outside of the bracket instead of the inside helps with this, but leaves the fan sticking out more in the back and allows some airflow to bypass the case because it instead comes in around the sides of the bracket.

Another downside is the placement of the fan / RGB hub on the backside of the case. Since it's placed up at the top of the case it makes it difficult for cables to reach from fans located at the bottom and I had to route the cables directly across the side instead of being able to neatly route them through the appropriate channels for them to reach.

Also the included rear fan doesn't have RGB, which is not a huge deal but would be nice to have.

All things considered, though, it's a really nice looking case with lots of room inside and plenty of options for mounting and airflow.

This is hands down the one of the best affordable case's I have ever built in, superb airflow, great cable management and easy to build in. This is hands down the one of the best affordable case's I have ever built in, superb airflow, great cable management and easy to build in.

Really cannot fault this case for the price/features. Really good airflow, love the 160mm front fans. Pretty quiet too even under full load they have barely ran over 50%. Cable management is great and heeeaps of space for components etc. and being able to move the usb/power hub is great especially having my PC on my desk. Would definitely recommend.

Easily best case I’ve used great airflow and it’s dead silent only gripe is the back fan doesn’t work as the i.0 ports are in the wrong place Easily best case I’ve used great airflow and it’s dead silent only gripe is the back fan doesn’t work as the i.0 ports are in the wrong place

Got this bad boy on sale, prefect case great airflow comes with GPU support bracket as well as a fan hub Got this bad boy on sale, prefect case great airflow comes with GPU support bracket as well as a fan hub

Much better than the Lian li 215, easy to work in, great air flow and looks, a simplified elegant and practical case is how I would sum it up :) Much better than the Lian li 215, easy to work in, great air flow and looks, a simplified elegant and practical case is how I would sum it up :)

I've used it for around 2 days, finished my first build yesterday.
The case has fans included which was nice.

I wanted to move the front panel to the bottom but found out I couldn't do it because the case fans get in the way.

It included a gpu anti sag mount but I couldn't use it with my gpu. I've used it for around 2 days, finished my first build yesterday.

Plenty of room in the case for parts and cable management. The case also looks great! Plenty of room in the case for parts and cable management. The case also looks great!

Cannot be beaten for the price. Rates near the top for airflow. Easy to work with and plenty of space for cable routing. Big improvement over the previous 215 Cannot be beaten for the price.
