Pros: - Front fan bracket is really flexible and should become the norm for cases. It lets you play around with how you want to mount your fans or radiators. - SSD mount locations are really nice. Between these 4 and any potential NVME slots on your motherboards means you've got easy storage upgrade options - Sliding HDD tray is appreciated, and the HDDs get anti-vibration grommets included - In general it's a nice case to work in
Cons: - The 120mm ventilation plates that you mount your 120mm fans to have screws that are tiny, and extremely tight. Of all those screws, only one came out with the ease as the rest of the case screws. The others were clearly tightened with a machine. My attempts to remove these has resulted in a stripped screw. The solution to this problem in future Lian Li cases offering shroud mounted fans is simple: A thumbscrew that secures the plate the fan mounts onto. Just prepare some adhesive to secure your 120mm fan in that area, since you might get a case like mine. - The USB C should've come installed by default. The process to install it requires removing the entire front IO panel, which is way more complicated than you expect. - The handle used to remove the front mesh will allow in a ton of dust. Maybe add side mounted handles and add mesh to the bottom hole.
Overall Review: I'd definitely recommend this case to those looking for an airflow focused case. The layout promotes great airflow, copious amounts of hard drive space, cable routing holes make sure everything gets to where it needs to be easier than most cases. I just wish that power supply shroud screws were easier to remove, tightly secured screws made of soft metal is not a good combination. Other than that and other minor issues, this is a winner.
Pros: - RGB is nice and easy to setup and change (2 buttons at the top) - The front and back glass door (SSD display and clean of cable) - Smart opening on each side - Good cable management - Magnetic dust filter - Price!
Cons: - 3 pins fans, would be better with 4 pins - Not sure about the airflow
Overall Review: - I reach to Lian Li to have a replacement for a broken glass window and they were very kind to send me a new one (express shipping). Very nice from them, good service! - I would recommand this case to every RGB lover but it's easy to shut off if you want.
Pros: Very easy to build in. Great cable management options, and you can hide the cables with three separate covers. Speaking of cable management... the front panel connectors were already secured with Velcro when I opened it up! Can hold 4 (four) 2.5" drives in the side panel which is going to come in very handy, and has enough room for 8 120mm fans too. The chassis was very secure in the box and had no defects even with a bumped up parcel. Overall there are many little things, such as a movable 3.5" drive tray, that contribute to the greatness of this case.
Cons: I cannot find where to order the optional accessories (I would probably get them all). SSD didn't line up correctly in the side mount so I put it in one of the tray ones instead, but I think that is a Samsung problem. Not a problem for me anyways.
Overall Review: I was originally going to go with the Meshify C but decided to give this a shot instead. Lian Li has a great case here, color me impressed. Building was a breeze even for someone clumsy as me. This beast was well worth the three week wait. I do really want the optional accessories though, and can't find them anywhere.
Pros: Great options for cable management. Plenty of room for expansion. Looks fantastic.
Cons: One of the two cases was perfect, the second one was very poorly assembled. The second case was bent and has one side rivited in the wrong spot so I had to bend the metal to get the side to close. Paint was missing in multiple places, there were bits of metal from manufacturing loose in the case. One of the side panel magnet closures is missing. I don't get how one case is perfect but one has multiple issues. It was not damaged during shipping, it was obviously assembled wrong, almost like they rushed it through and didn't inspect it.
Overall Review: Nice case but very poor quality control.
Pros: Good stuff, sure! - Spacious, space on both the viewed side, and on the cable side to work with. -PSU area? pull out that HDD drive (a little twisting and turn and bam, cage gone, massive area to hide and hold those extra long cables and neatly tie them up if they that long. plus, PSU area, now fully open for the bottom fan to hit directly with front fan. - 3 stock A-RGB fans? sweet, 3-pin connector is easily chained with included chain cable and a few presses of the top M switch if you have the 3-pin on your mobo lets you control the RGB that way (I have Asus and it synced with it perfectly) And the stock fans are actually pretty decent too, especially for the case price. - Cable panels? First time builder here, these things were a LIFE SAVER, my cables didn't turn out as hideous as I thought they might, but hiding them with those panels, hell yes. Sleek clean back panel area if that side is ever open to view. -PSU Shroud has space for 2 - 2.5" SSD on slotted panels OR 2 - 120MM fans, or in my case, one 120MM fan (remove the panel and slot the fan in the nice open hole, case includes long screws to use since the small fan screws would be near impossible to use on the shroud. and then I have a 2.5" on the second panel. -Spacious interior if just using Air fans, I have a 3-fan RTX 2070 in it, and still room to slide a figure in the front area. xD -Top of the case has so many elongated holes for different types of fans it supports there, I currently just have a 120MM over the back side of the CPU to pull that hot air out and fits with no clearance issue. -Preinstalled standoffs for ATX boards and I believe thy work fine for E-ATX as well with no need to move any. -front panel full mesh means better air flow (yes yes, you might think what about dust, just make sure you keep up in your case cleaning a tad more than you might, the trade off for air flow is worth.) -Glass sides? open and fully remove them by pulling them up off the pins, sweet, and then the PSU shroud Mobo side is mesh to let air in for PSU and PSU Shroud fans, other side solid to hide cables and has two pre-installed 2.5" SSD holders on the cable side panel. -Cable holes? plenty and wide enough to easily use. for most anything you need. hold a LEPA Neollusion CPU Cooler with a little room to spare. so good CPU cooler height. -Top has magnetic dust filter, easy to pull on and off, bottom back pull out dust filter under PSU, neat but means I gotta pull my PC out a bit to get to it, but hey, least it's there. -RGB control buttons on the Front panel with the power and USB switchs, Color and mode buttons, pretty cool overall, don't use them though but make sure you hook that SATA cable in for it though, don't just toss it aside, they put it for a reason, if you're gonna use the case control for the RGB, plug. it. in. (side note, you need that button on the case to bypass to the mobo, so use the Sata) -I like the combo headphone/mic audio jack, though probably not for everyone though it's nice to have that HD Audio plug for the Mobo either way to a single jack up front.
Cons: bad stuff? Possibly a couple, not for me personally but for others, maybe. - Hole to PUT a USB-C on the front panel with the 2 included USB's, gotta buy that separate though if you want it to install it, Lian Li sells one, but it's a common complaint I see in most reviews that they didn't just include it to begin with. -Personal complaint - the 2 USB that come with, and I'm sure it's most cases not just this, that cable is stupid stiff and massive bleh, works though and a little working the cable goes a long way for installing it. -front case fans, while awesome and work very well, includes a daisy chain for the A-RGB plugs on them, but not one for the fans power plugs. so only one 3-pin A-RGB slot on mobo needed, 3 3-pin fan headers needed for the front fans a lone. thinking about full ari cooling this case? either get a mobo with lots of headers, or invest in a couple splitter/hubs! -uhhh maybe you want USB slots, only has two for the front of the case, maybe you don't like that. They are 3.0 though at least. so that's nice. -personal complaint - those absolutely stupid annoying tiny single/double pin connectors for the power/reset buttons. Honestly I wish they would make a universal header to have those in use all the slots, use only what's needed, whatever, but just a regular solid plug to jack into the pins on the Mobo for it. >< so tiny, so fragile they feel.
Overall Review: This is a great case, I absolutely love it and it was so easy to build in. I'll recommend this case to my grave, especially for first time builders. It's a great spacy mid-size option, Black and White options. Totally cool front case fan holder that you can slot in multiple ways which means customizable to a point your front fan positions and for other types of cooler spacing. Please be careful and don't rush, some of the screws that you might wanna take out or move like the grill panels above the PSU for fans, or maybe you wanna move the SSD holders on the bottom flip down side to be in the middle and front. Some of these screws are in insanely tight, not to tight to not get by hand but you have got to be careful they are tiny and easy to strip. Take. it. slow. Using fans? you got space to put - Two 120MM over the PSU - Three 120MM front panel or Two 140MM or One 360MM Radiator - Two 120MM or Two 140MM at the top and back has a slot that can fit your regular 120MM,and it's got a elongated mounting spot adjust up or down a little as needed based on needs kinda. Pics for reference, especially messy longer cables? no longer issue once those panels and side flip back up! :D Truly beginner friendly 20/10.
Pros: -great cooling -well built -great design
Cons: -none
Overall Review: Amazing case. Far better built than i was imagining it would be. I replaced an NZXT H510. I selected that case purely based on appearance at the time but i upgraded to 2 evga 2060's and a ryzen 3900x and suddenly i couldn't get the thing cool enough. i saw Gamers nexus discuss this case, I snatched it up as soon as possible. The case is heavy and well built. No flaws to it as far as I can tell well thought out and yes it does work well. I did add three fan cases to it so it better work well. there are no loud Graphic card noises now, cards run at 68 or lower, depending on location. The CPU runs at 70-72 with a be quiet aftermarket fan. Temps are based on rendering 1 hr in blender with both GPU's and CPU rendering 100%. The case model is lancool II performance. No RGB here....
Pros: Great airflow. My case temps went down at least 5 degrees. Plenty of space! Easy to build in. Looks really good. Delivery was fast.
Cons: One of the front intake fan wire was half torn out of the box. The defective fan works but its RGB doesn't work as it should (photo and video as proofs)
Overall Review: I would definitely recommend this product, as long as everything works fine. What happened to mine was probably an exception. I hope to have a follow up from Newegg about that.

Pros: I like almost everything about it.
Cons: The only con I have for this case is the C and M buttons on front IO. I wish they made one button for easy access fan speed instead of rgb C-color and M- mode.
Overall Review: Over all its a very good case for its price. Officially, 280mm isn't supported for top mounted. But, i manage to squeeze one in without it resting on the motherboard or ram. There is still a very little gap in between. Build lancool 2 mesh Ryzen 3700x X570 tomahawk G-skill trident neo 16gb Rtx 2060 KO ultra Rosewill 1000w gold cert (its overkill but due to pandemic, its hard to find one thats in stock. Had to use this since its not being used at all)
