LIAN LI LANCOOL 216 E-ATX PC Case, Airflow Focus RGB Gaming Computer Case with All-Around Mesh Panels, 2x160mm & 1x140mm PWM Fans Pre-Installed and Innovative Rear PCIe Fan Bracket Chassis (Black)

Great case. It seems well built and good quality. Love the customization and cable management. Very easy to disassemble and work on. Love the fact the front panel connector is one plug and not five separate. It’s nice having the rgb header pre installed. There’s also plenty of room to add more rgb headers and ssd drives if needed. The front panel I/O can be relocated if needed, from the top to the side. The top will accommodate many different cooling options. Plus the front fans can be replaced with smaller ones. I’ve had no problems with temperatures with this case, and airflow is excellent. You are getting a lot for the price in my opinion.. Can’t recommend this case enough.

I went with this case for my latest build, and it’s been a really solid choice. It has a sleek look, but more importantly, it’s functional and easy to work with. It feels durable and well-made, which is what I was looking for. There’s plenty of room inside, and it easily accommodates larger components without feeling cramped. Cable management was surprisingly smooth, and the built-in routing channels kept everything organized with minimal effort. Airflow has been great too, thanks to the included fans. What I appreciated most was how user-friendly it is. The case design makes installation straightforward, and everything fit together nicely. The removable panels and tool-free features were a big help during setup. Overall, if you’re after a roomy, well-designed case with good cooling and easy assembly, this is a great option. It checked all the boxes for me.

The air throughput is absolutely superb. And that's coming from a guy running 3090 FE and a 13900KF (if you know, you know). Basically a well functioning space heater rofl. The removable glass panel is great for accessing internals quickly, and cable management absolutely sublime. Perfect negative pressure system I've ever used, though certainly could do positive. Those front fans are crazy good. Caveats: - I wish it was about an inch taller (from the base of power area) though so I could fit an extra gfx card on the bottom for more monitors. - The SSD access isn't bad considering the airflow design, but wish it was a bit easier - as a guy who constantly works and switches drives. - power management panel on bottom is a bit funky, but you get used to it and it grows on you. - bit tight for the LGA1700+ chipset mobo's (gaming type boards have large heat sinks everywhere). Pros: - best cable management I've ever seen in a sub $300 case. - best airflow period. feeding off previous: direct air pathways across board and heat sinks. HIGH volume. Unless you are building your own water cooling system (mobo, gfx, and cpu), and assuming you aren't using Peltier with liquid nitrogen, this is the best you're gonna get in my opinion. - Tons of room considering it's not a "full tower". Shoutout to GamersNexus for doing thorough reviews on all the latest and greatest computer cases, and I mean THOROUGH, which led me to this product. :)

I recently purchased the Lian Li 216 PC case, and it has exceeded my expectations. The sleek and minimalist design not only looks fantastic but also provides a functional and practical build experience. The tempered glass side panel beautifully showcases the internals, making it a great choice for those who want to display their components. One standout feature is the outstanding airflow. The case comes with well-placed ventilation and fan options, keeping temperatures in check even during intense gaming sessions. Cable management is a breeze with ample space behind the motherboard tray, contributing to a clean and organized build. The toolless drive installation is a nice touch, making the overall assembly process smooth and efficient. The case supports various cooling configurations, allowing for customization based on individual preferences and component choices. While the case is compact, it offers plenty of room for high-end components, and the PSU shroud adds a neat and tidy look. The build quality is top-notch, reflecting Lian Li's commitment to craftsmanship. In conclusion, the Lian Li 216 PC case is a fantastic choice for both aesthetics and performance. Whether you're a seasoned builder or a first-time PC enthusiast, this case delivers on style, functionality, and quality. Definitely of the best PC case in 2023. Highly recommended.

This case was part of PC build #2 for me--last time was in 2021 with a $75 off-brand case. Adjusted for inflation, it's likely that these two would be in the same category of price. After building in both though, you'd think this case would be priced ~$50 more...or maybe I got scammed last time. This beauty was a BREEZE to build in. I was following a guide that, honestly, overexplained quite a lot. I feel that if I'd just used the manual and nothing else, I could have completed my build way faster. There was plenty of space to work with, especially since I had an ATX motherboard (perks of buying an E-ATX case). Plus, almost every panel is removable--the sides easier than others, but the front, top, and PSU shroud panels are also removable. Cable management was a breeze thanks to pre-installed velcro straps in the rearside panel, along with a fan/RGB hub to streamline fan cords. The case saves you a lot of work and effort thanks to intelligent and thoughtful design. TL;DR - For old and new builders alike looking to save a few bucks to fit your PC budget, or even for anyone trying to transfer a current build into a new case, this will serve you well.

Quality construction. Large case with plenty of equipment and build space. Tool-less. Back area has plenty of nice velcro strips for easy cable management. Front fans are beautiful. Silent when not under load if fans tuned via mobo bios or smart fan software. All around beautiful case. HOWEVER, the 4 button RGB controller on the outside of the case has several problems. See reviews of it as a separate item. Most annoyingly, only 2 of the 4 buttons work providing very limited RGB control. Lian Li L-Connect does not recognize fans so no RGB control that way. NZXT RGB controller and NZXT RGB fans/strips coupled with CAM is so much better. UPDATE: I longer I have the case, the more I like it. But just inside behind the front fans is a lare hole in the interior floor which exposes the wiring nest under the floor. Probably the hole is there for a radiator setup, but without radiator cooling the hole is ugly.

-1 Month Stress Test Update- Okay, so this case is so good, I had to come back and update my already glowing review with a screenshot of my results after a month of use. The build quality, durability, features are all still rock solid after having reworked this system 4 times already, playing with different hardware configurations. The real reason I came back, however, is because of the cooling; and holy wow does this thing do the job. I added an image of my Icue dashboard status during 3 rounds of Timespy, which produces the hottest conditions I have found for this case so far. System: AMD Ryzen 5800 x3d Nvidia 3060 ti (3x fan unit) MSI MPG X570S Gaming Edge Motherboard Corsair HX1000i PSU 3x NVME 2x SSD 1 HDD These are notoriously hot CPU and Motherboard chipsets, and although the CPU (75c) does reach a higher temp than the GPU (63/68c), the CPU heat gets exhausted much faster than GPU heat. For CPU benchmark loads and you can basically deduct 3-5c from the attached screenshot for everything except the chipset (which maxes at 54-56c no matter what I throw at it). The hottest I could muster for gaming is Cyberpunk 2077: CPU: 70c GPU: 60c Everything else: 40c'ish I'm just sayin, if you already like the looks of this case, it is going to one of the best hundred dollar bills you've ever spent. -Original Review- I've been building and modding computers for 25 years, and this case is one of, if not the best I have bought in that time. The quality and engineering are astounding, and the materials and build are solid; and the attention to detail through a builder's eye is evident. Despite the amount of mesh and glass, the case is built like, and feels like a tank. The mesh and glass are thick, and all but the smallest mesh panel are reinforced with rigid steel gussets. The front bezel is the only plastic here, and it is dense and heavy like the dash of a 2014 Volvo. Even the HDD drive cages are sturdy enough to use for home defense, and they are polished to a brilliant oil rubbed shine! Seriously, I cannot stress enough how much of a tank this case is... even the rear I/O plates have weight. The case is highly configurable, with the ability to mount the motherboard in an upper or lower position to obtain clearance for watercooling radiators or air cooling fans depending on your needs. The disclaimer in the manual states that "you cannot do this or you cannot do that" when mounting in either upper or lower spots; but after dry fitting a number of motherboard and cooling combos in the case, I found you can get away with a lot if you plan ahead for access to connectors and whatnot. Cons: -Heavy (See: Sturdy) -Big for a mid tower(Not for subtle systems or HTPC) -Steel side panel (wire side) attaches with snaps, no screws. It feels secure, but I like screws. Thoughts: -I'm 99.99% Certain that any GPU will fit in this case. Mine is a smaller 3-fan unit, but the clearance goes on for days. -You could probably fit up to 4 of various water-cooling radiators/reservoirs in there, if you threw money at it hard enough. Overall, I rate this 10/10, five star quality; and I'm soon to buy another for a friend's build.

super easy assembly, looks good, good quality and great price! I am going to get another one soon.

Excelente, cupo mi TX 9070 XT sin problema, tiene buen espacio para la circulación del aire. Es muy grande pero vale la pena.

I tried 2 budget cases before this one and both didn't suit my needs, so I returned them and decided to get this one. And let me tell you, this case is PERFECT. May not be the best looking but everything is built out of premium materials, there's plenty of space for the graphics card, fans and cable management. The best thing about it is the cable management, Everything you need is already preinstalled inside the case, I didn't have to use wires to tie the cables. Again it is just perfect, and I recommend it if you want good quality. My advise is to make sure your motherboard can support USB C port, so that you can make use of the front USB C. Note: back fan is not RGB or ARGB.

best PC case ive ever owned, when you feel the components and materials they are heavy quality, exactly what a pc case should be. its also beautiful too. it has huge slower fans whoch push plenty of air to keep the system cool. gamersnexus tested and gave this great review scores and they were right. best PC case ive ever owned and ill buy again and again if i build any more machines excellent value for money, avoid that corsair junk

Je suis absolument bluffé par la qualité de ce boîtier, et pourtant j'en ai monté quelques-uns ! C'est un sans-faute sur toute la ligne. * Esthétique et Finition : Il est tout simplement magnifique. Le design est à la fois sobre et terriblement classe. Les matériaux sont de grande qualité, ça se sent au poids et au toucher. Le panneau en verre trempé met parfaitement en valeur les composants sans être "trop". * Facilité de montage : Un pur bonheur ! L'espace intérieur est généreux, ce qui rend l'installation des composants très confortable. Mais le vrai plus, c'est le cable management. Tout est pensé pour avoir un montage propre et sans effort : les passages de câbles sont idéalement placés, il y a plein de points d'attache... Résultat, mon installation est la plus propre que j'aie jamais eue. * Refroidissement : Le flux d'air est excellent. Les ventilateurs fournis sont étonnamment silencieux et très efficaces. Même en pleine session de jeu, mes températures restent incroyablement basses. Il y a largement la place pour ajouter d'autres ventilateurs ou un gros système de watercooling. * Les petits plus : Les filtres à poussière sont faciles d'accès et à nettoyer, la connectique en façade est complète et bien placée. Conclusion : C'est sans aucun doute l'un des meilleurs boîtiers du marché dans sa gamme de prix, et même au-delà. Si vous cherchez un boîtier performant, silencieux, facile à monter et avec un design premium, foncez les yeux fermés. Je le recommande à 200% !

Difficile trovare di meglio nella fascia di prezzo dei 130€. Ti arriva a casa con una ventola da 140mm sul retro e due bei ventoloni da 160mm frontali. Con altri case, se aggiungi le ventole necessarie e di pari livello, andresti a spendere probabilmente di più. Bello ma elegante e composto. Robusto, leggero e soprattutto versatile, permette scheda video in posizione standard, oppure verticale (cavo da prendere a parte). Ho preso a parte il filtro antipolvere che si attacca dietro il frontale con dei piccoli magneti senza dover prendere in mano il cacciavite. Dimensioni ridotte se si considera che ci stanno dentro 392 mm di scheda video. E' un pochino più laborioso di come me lo aspettassi, specie nello smontaggio delle parti se si decide di spostare il pannello frontale in basso. Paratie laterali senza viti e corredo di viti di scorta in una comoda scatoletta con gli scomparti modificabili.
