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 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.

Absolutely beautiful style, well made, and easy to work with. Cable management ports are well thought out and work perfectly with my Corsair CX750F power supply. Mounting an ASUS PRIME X570-PRO was effortless; pre-mounted stand offs align precisely with the motherboard mounting holes. My EVGA GTX 1080 graphics card slotted in easily without any alignment issues. I did not install any drives, Im only using NVMe drives on the motherboard, but the SSD mounts are well placed on the rear of the motherboard mounting plate. There is plenty of space for the thick ATX power cables to rest inside with the side cover attached. Clever mounting design for the side cover which holds it down and prevents it from bowing out due to pressure from the ATX cables. You expect this quality from Lian Li and they deliver.

Had purchased this case as i still wanted to go the matx route with my pc but didnt want to have the corsair 280x anymore as the case was too wide. I wanted more space on my desk so i thought this case was the perfect choice and it was very new. The one MASSIVE reason i returned the item is you can not fit an AIO above if you have almost any RGB ram. I wanted to keep my aio on top but because they didnt add maybe 1/2 to 1 inch of space above you can not do it (ex 240mm against corsair vengeance rgb ram). 2nd reason but was much smaller is that only the atx size of this case comes with usb on top while the matx model only has usb 3.0. Was exactly what I was looking for but they had just one main oversight with that clearance on top that stopped me from keeping the case. Maybe they will do a revision on the case at some point then I would love to give the case a second chance!

I bought a Used - Like New case and it just had the rear fan missing. It CAN fit a 280mm AIO on the top if you buy separate fans that are smaller like the ID Cooling 15mm ones because originally it does not clear the CPU cable on the Motherboard (I just jimmy rigged it to worked and put some screws in different holes). Also, it WILL fit an XFX rx 6950xt and it is a 3 fan card and pretty long. The Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX Motherboard did fit but JUST barely. Overall, I would have to say that although some things were tight to try and work in or around, I would recommend this case.

Just think about the thermals before you buy

UPDATE: Downgrading to 3 stars. The glass panel on the side keeps popping off of the metal brackets holding it to the case. Im going to have to completely disassemble the side panel and try to repair it. Huge annoyance on an otherwise good case. When people first started modding cases a long long time ago, Lian Li made beautiful cases. At the time I was a broke college student and could never afford higher-priced cases. Fast forward 20 years, a wife, and two kids and I finally got around to building a new PC and getting a Lian Li case. My wait was not a disappointment. The case is everything I thought it would be. Well laid out with plenty of room for everything I needed to put in it. The removable filters are easy to get to. I was able to somehow hide all the cables on the back of the machine. The case was very easy to fully disassemble, which made building the PC easy. Did I mention this is my first PC build in over 15 years? My how things have changed, yet stayed the same. The fans it comes with are nice and quiet. I moved them to the top of the case and added 3 TT 120mm RGB fans on the front and back of the PC for additional airflow. I use my system for CAD and media editing, so I had a lot of storage to cram in there. My build is as follows: ASRock X570 Ryzen 7 3700X 32GB RAM RTX2070 1 - 500G M.2 NVME 1 - 256G SSD 2 - 3.5 2TB HDs 750Watt modular power supply The case still has room for a second SSD and a third 3.5 HD. I used a Dremel to cut a slot in one of the PCI covers so I could run power/signal to some RGBs under the case. I still plan on sleeving a new GPU power cable to make that part of the PC look a little better. I have three complaints, which is why I gave it 4 stars. 1) If youre using full-sized hard drives in the drive cage on the bottom, then the power and sata cables are a very very tight fight between the back of the hard drives and the back panel on the case. I got them to fit, but the cables are bent at a slightly precarious angle. 2) The mounting brackets on the glass panel are held on with double sided mounting tape. The front bracket on my glass panel came off in shipping. I was able to stick it back on, but after a few weeks I can see where the lower corner of the glass is pulling away from the bracket again. Im also not sure at what point this happened, but theres a decent scuff on the glass. I thought it was just a smudge and tried to clean it off, but its still there. I thought I was careful with the glass panel when building the machine, but maybe it slid on the workbench or something. 3) The fan mount for the top of the case, which would also be the radiator mount. The mount is held in by 1 screw near the back of the case and two pins on the front of the case. With the front just being held in by two tabs, it allows the mounting bracket to vibrate against the top of the case when the fans are spinning. I suppose if it had a radiator on it, the weight would be enough to keep it from vibrating, but with just two 120mm fans, mine does. The simple fix was I used a zip tie to pull the mounting bracket tight against the top of the case. Not really much of a complaint, more of an annoyance, but the PS has to be slid in from the side of the case. The rear panel doesnt remove to slide it in from the back. I found it easier to put all the cables on outside of the case. Then, with the hd cage removed, slide the PS in. Lastly, I slide the HD cage back into the case and screwed it back in. Once fully built, the machine sitting on my desk is one of the prettiest cases Ive ever owned.
