Most Favorable Review

Great Product, One Flaw...

iStarUSA BPN-DE110SS-BLACK Trayless 5.25" to 3.5" SATA SAS 6 Gbps HDD Hot-swap Rack
iStarUSA BPN-DE110SS-BLACK Trayless 5.25" to 3.5" SATA SAS 6 Gbps HDD Hot-swap Rack

Pros: Great Looking. Good Fitment. Does what it claims.

Cons: PC Board has weak point, prone to breakage.

Overall Review: I now have 14 of these in my Server. They work and look great. One caution... make sure you have a drive (any drive) in the caddy BEFORE you hook up the SATA Power attachment on the rear. If you have a tight fitting SATA Power connector and you push too hard, the PC Board will "snap" where it passes power over to the fan switch and LED connection. If you have a drive in the caddy to support this tiny board while plugging it in, the board can sustain the pressure necessary to attach the SATA Power cable. Once you have the SATA connectors on... there is never any problem inserting or removing drives. Just do this when first connecting the rear of the cage. I broke two of them before I realized what I had done. (So technically, I now have 16 of these.... 2 of them to remind me to use a softer touch - Ugh).

Arrived today, installed in minutes...

LIAN LI LANCOOL II MESH RGB BLACK FRONT PANEL KIT --LANCOOL II MESH-PX
LIAN LI LANCOOL II MESH RGB BLACK FRONT PANEL KIT --LANCOOL II MESH-PX

Pros: Nice option to the original Lancool II case. Especially the lower side panel.

Cons: Fitting the front cover took some trial and error, as it only snaps on if done in the right order (Bottom Left, Bottom Right, then top two together). The bottom two plastic snaps and alignment pins are a little close together and don't exactly match the holes in my Lancool II case. It works, but I'm concerned that in the long term, the plastics might break.

Overall Review: I really only wanted the lower side panel, as I have a ROG Thor 850 power supply under there and with the original Lancool II side panel (mostly solid) you cannot see the RGB or the Wattage consumption screen. Now with this side cover I can see it through the mesh. Nice enough. I'm not using the front cover for now, as I prefer the RGB effects of the original cover and have no concern for the additional ventilation provided by this mesh front panel. As a result of not using the front cover, I also have no need for the provided replacement feet. If the side cover were available separately, I would have purchased just that.

Worked perfectly...

LIAN LI LAN2-1X Premium PCI-E x16 3.0 Black Extender Riser Cable 200mm and Covert Bracket for LANCOOL II / LANCOOL II Mesh RGB Black / LANCOOL II Mesh Performance---LAN2-1X

Pros: Not sure what everyone is complaining about. Simple to install, fits fine, worked perfectly.

Cons: A little pricey to have to pay 1/3 the price of the entire case, just for an accessory.

Overall Review: Recommended if you want your graphics card to be displayed vertically. Don't worry about the card fans being too close to the side glass, plenty of room for air circulation in the Lancool II case. Mesh upgrade kit coming today, looking forward to it.

It's an ugly drive, but it works well...

Pros: Decent speed.

Cons: Typically ugly board, but many are covered by motherboard shields (as mine was).

Overall Review: Watch for sales on this, $109 in July of 2020.

Pricey, but worth it for the bling...

Pros: Easy install, works great.

Cons: A bit costly, but still the best RGB design in my opinion.

Overall Review: Watch for sale prices on these. Not usually much of a discount, but anything helps.

This worked perfect...

Pros: Exactly what I was expecting, no problems with loose pins as others suggested.

Cons: Was kind of expecting there to be a protective film over the acrylic, there was not. But it was not scratched either way, so not really a "con."

Overall Review: Recommended.

Always liked Lian Li cases and components.

Some of the optional case accessories are a bit pricey.
