> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 daySolid construction, easy to work on, no sharp corners, included ARGB fans push plenty of air. If it had a fan wiring hub it would be perfect.

Greater than one weekI like this case. The quality is great. Assembly is fairly easy. I like how it comes with 2 pre-installed fans. Thats a nice addition. I even like the way you take off the tempered glass panel as it has a lip to rest the panel on and that there are notches on the corners to align the holes on the glass panel for a secure fit. For $85, I think it is a bit too expensive for what it offers and that there are better options out there with more additions for around the same price. If you can get this case for around $70 and under, it would be a better buy.

> 3 dayI originally got this because of its sleek and stylish look. The flat surfaces and black color are a minimal and timeless design that no one else seems to be doing without charging $100+. The internal design is pretty standard. If youve built a PC before, then you know where everythings supposed to go and what the holes are all for. Unfortunately, this is where it gets bad. The spaces that they designate for the drives are so small and thoughtless that I have to wonder what rulers they were using to measure the case. For context, I had two 2.5 SSD drives and a 3.5 HDD drive I wanted to install. There are two spots for 2.5 drives on the back of the motherboard tray. One of these slots is underneath a side lip meant to mount the outer wall on and is impossible to get the drive in there to screw it on properly. I ended up not even bothering and just taped the second SSD onto a random spot in the case. Now for the more egregious part. The drive cage for the 3.5 drives was too small. In the pictures for this specific product, their cage looks fine (its the box thing next to the battery on the bottom). The one I got was a tight metal cage with a plastic tray squeezed in there to the point where the tray was permanently deformed. The plastic tray could be stretched to fit my HDD on it, but then it wouldnt slide into the cage as intended. What the hell? I definitely DO NOT want my hard drive wiggling around anywhere, and now I have nowhere to properly screw it onto the case. Two out of three drives are secured in place with a despicable amount of tape which shouldnt be needed in the first place. I have to say it again - what rulers did they use to measure this case? Are my drives supposed to be malleable pieces of crap just to fit them into this case? Overall, the hassle with the drives makes me doubt the integrity and tolerances for the rest of the case.

> 3 dayI bought this case for slim down a little from my corsair 4000D. This case looks nice but when assembling it I could immediately tell the build quality compared to the corsair case is really sub par. I had to take my motherboard water cooler etc out of my case just to get the stupid usb cable attached. It is nice that my motherboard has the side slotted usb header but this case has no room to get it through. The panel screws fall out anytime you have to take a panel off and they fall out onto the floor. I just buillt a pc in an rgb rosewill case that is $56 and is far better than this piece of crap. I honestly may send this back and get a corsair again( sold off my 5600x to build 7600x pc) The main reason I bought this case is for the Name. Lian Li. My sons dynamic mini is awesome. This case is very un-awesome and it should be $45. I wanted to have a quiet pc for audio recording and this was supposed to have really good airflow. Unfortunately it doesnt seem to matter as even with 240mm aio for my 7600x it still goes to 90c which is normal. If anyone reads this seriously consider a better case. This case is below the nzxt 510i as far as I am conserned as well.

> 3 dayI used the Lancool 205 Micro case for my first PC build and I couldnt be happier! Its an amazing micro case and I absolutely loved how it turned out. Im not at all an expert in PC building, but I hope that my feedback helps a bit! Here are my specs - GTX 1050 - GIGABYTE B550M DS3H - Crucial Ballistix 3200 MHz DDR4 - ARCTIC Freezer 34 eSports DUO - GIM KB-28 RGB Case Fans, 3 Pack White 120mm - EVGA 220-G3-0750-X1 Super Nova 750 G3, 80 Plus Gold 750W - Seagate BarraCuda 2TB Internal Hard Drive HDD - Crucial MX500 1TB - AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Pros - Really easy to work with - Lots of different ways to route cables - Simple and minimalist design - Micro tower is small enough to fit on top of a desk without looking too big - Air flow on the back, top, front, below the psu, and on the sides of the front panel (enough to fit total of 5 fans // 1 fan in the back, 2 fans on the top, and 2 fans in the front) - Removeable Magnetic dust filters on the top and the bottom - Fits the ARCTIC Freezer 34 Esports (grey/white) PERFECTLY, goodness I was worried that my cpu cooler wouldnt fit, but it fit absolutely perfect with a tiny bit of room between the tempered glass and the front of the cpu cooler - the gap in the front is big enough to fit a custom rgb panel - the temps are nice! my GPU runs around 35-41°C - the glass feels very high qu (its pretty heavy too!) Cons - I wasnt sure if this was the motherboard or the case (maybe it was just me?) but I found it very difficult mounting the motherboard onto the case. When I would screw the motherboard onto the case, I just could not get them to go inside. I managed to get the corners in, so I left it at that. This may have just been my fault though and I didnt want to strip the screws :( - This is me just being a little picky, but I wish the little raised cable management things in the back of the case (Im not sure what the technical term is) was slightly larger to fit bigger zip ties and velcro cable ties - I wasnt sure if the case was supposed to come with a mounting tray, but mine didnt come with any (Im still not sure if the mounting is included or not) so I put my HDD in the drive bay and I placed my SSD right on top of the drive bay and zip tied it down Overall, the microATX case is absolutely beautiful and very well made! Its user-friendly and great for beginners that want a smaller build!

> 3 dayThis is a major upgrade over my previous case, the Corsair Spec-01, purchased back in late 2015. The quality of life and ease of install vs. the Spec-01 are night and day. The cable management is all around much, much cleaner thanks to the larger amount of space provided. This is a bigger, more expensive case. As such the build quality is increased, probably even beyond the $30 difference between the Spec-01 and this case. It feels very solid, the metal is thicker and there is more of it. Less plastic, 2 fans, tempered glass and magnetic filters. Plus decent airflow. This is a case I can see myself keeping for the next 5-10 years and Im very glad its the one I ended up purchasing.

> 3 dayHad 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!

> 3 daySturdier 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!
