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

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.

Sturdier than youd think, decent airflow, plenty of space to hide non-modular psu cables, I can go on and on. Only thing that bugs me is the power indicator light which blinks instead of being a static light which was easy to remedy by disconnecting the wires from the pins so no stars taken. All in all 10/10 case!

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.

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.

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.

I got this case on sale for $80 at the time and would highly recommend it. I wanted a white case that had a glass side panel for a good price, and this was it. The case was easy to put together, and all components fit perfectly in the case. Im running a 3060ti for reference in the pictures, but the case will fit the other 30 series Gpus that are larger as well. Airflow is overall great, the front of case has holes down both sides to allow more airflow to be pulled in from the front fans, and I use the top and rear fans for exhaust. Each of the sides has a magnetic dust filter (top of the outside of the case, bottom of case for power supply fan, and front case fans have a dust filter behind the front white cover piece of the case). The only gripe i have about the case has to do with the fans. The front and top case fans are screwed into a bracket that slides into place, so you screw the fans into the bracket and slide the bracket into the case. The problem with this is that it just created extra moving parts that seem unnecessary. Would much rather just screw the fans directly into the case itself. Other than the case is great. I love the mounting for the 2.5 SSD drives, they are on the opposite side of the case (behind the solid white side panel) and slide up flat against the case so they are easy to add or remove ( there are two slots) without taking everything apart. Case also comes with a bracket used for adding normal size HDD drives in the bay where the power supply sits, but i dont use any so i took it out to shove all my extra cables into. The glass panel has some tint to it as well which is nice.

Case was just as described. Very clean and sharp looking, and has a decently premium feel. The only issue was that one of the USB ports on the front panel was warped when I received the product. Tried to slightly bend it back but it’s still non-functional. Slightly disappointed that the port arrived damaged and unusable but the rest of the case is top-notch. Update: I contacted the seller via their website and a representative reached out to arrange a replacement front IO panel. Amazing customer service on their part.

Simple case design with no rgb and decent cable management. Plenty of space up top to get the cpu power cable through unlike the corsair carbide spec 02. Like that there is a shield for hiding away excess cables. The screws that hold on the panels come all the way out so be careful to not lose them. The hdd holder can be completely removed for extra space below. Only 2 fans but that worked for me as the mobo only had 2 chassis fan connections. But has room to install 2 more upfront. Dont like that there isnt a reset button just a power. The instruction booklet is very simple and mostly just pictures. Would have liked something more substantial. And all the screws are thrown in one baggie so make sure you use that right ones. Overall not a bad case especially if you can grab it on sale.

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.
