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)

It had been 10 years since I had built my last computer, and it was time. After a lot of searching I settled on this case and I have not been disappointed. It was packaged extremely well for shipping protection. The fit and finish is as close to perfect as I think you can get. All the panels and removeable items slide on and off easily and are secured with metal thumb knobs -- no funky alignment issues and frustrations. The material is a good compromise between weight and strength. There is no tin canning and everything feels substantial. The finish and paint are perfect. The interior room is very ample for a clean installation and cable routing yielding a very nice finished look. It is a very easy case to work with. It comes with two fans, but I added a third, placing it on the front panel, which was very easy. There are a few wish it had items, however: The bottom air filter is not in a tray and may be inconvenient to clean; the case does not have a beeper, disk activity LED, or reset button, all of which I had become used to. All in all I am very pleased with my decision and purchase. I recommend this case without reservation.

I 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!

New build for my daughter. Previously used a lancool II for my own build and was impressed with the quality. This did not disappoint. Quality was great and building was above average. Only issues were with standoffs having to be moved which is no big deal. Had plenty of room for gpu which always seems to be a problem with this size of case. The price is also a factor to consider. You get a lot for your money with Liam Li cases so dont hesitate.

Although the case is small, there is still plenty space for long graphic card. I have I7-10700 and 5700XT and I have no heat issue at all. The magnetic filter is a big big plus for me. It is much easier to clean dust. But, there is a tiny bad design. Once you install the dedicated GPU, there will be a big hole on the slot, which was covered by a piece of metal if you dont install GPU. Overall, this is still a good buy from Lian Li

Great case if youre going for an AIO to cool, but if youre going air cooling you may want to look for a different case. as the front panel is very closed off and thus restricts airflow. Also, it does not come with all the fans needed. you will need to buy more for the top. I had to buy 2 140mm fans for the top. I was able to get the NZXT Kraken 280mm AIO to fit in the proper orientation in the front panel. Its a very very tight fit though, but it does fit. The 280 did not fit in the top of the case as it hits the motherboard. so you may want to look at a 240 for the top of the case. The Asus 3070 fits as well. Might be a little tight with a 3 fan card with the AIO in the front, but you will have to test that on your own. Great cable management in the back of the case and underneath as well.

Solid 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.

I love this case with the exception of a couple things. The Good: The build Quality is excellent. Good Air flow I like the ease of the radiator mounting adapter for the front and top. Plenty of room for an AIO or a custom loop and large Video Card The Bad(ish): Limited room behind the motherboard try so youll have to be creative tying off excess cables. My biggest gripe pertains to the PSU compartment. My Corsair HX750 barely fit height wise. I was nearly impossible to tuck in all the PSU wires (mine is modular so i can only imagine non mod PSUs difficulty) and keep the 3.5in drive bays. This wasnt an issue for me as I have only nvme SSDs running but if you have the need for 3.5in drives and a longer than avg PSU you may want to avoid this case. Otherwise its a fantastic case and value

This case was an absolute pleasure to build in. So many quality of life’s features in here that makes it much easier to install your parts, such as fan brackets, man holes around the motherboard for cabling, and the ability to quickly remove any part of the frame for better access. The only problem I faced was the top fan bracket, where it can only be installed one direction (even though it looks as though it can be both ways). In reality that was my fault though, and only a minor thing. The case is manufactured well and I’ve never has thumb screws in the back glide in so smoothly. You can feel the quality and precision when building. I highly recommend this case.

I made my first PC build a couple of months ago with this case, and after all these months of having it, I don’t regret buying it. It’s not difficult to manage everything you need in it. It’s very forgiving for the sizes of your parts (and I have a questionably sized graphics card). Very easy to wire manage and being a simple design that’s easy to customize. I don’t regret buying it.

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.
