Lian Li Lancool 216 ATX MidTower Gaming Case Tempered Glass, 2x160mm ARGB Fans, 1x140mm Rear Fan Included, CPU Cooling Support 180.5mm, GPU Support 392mm, 360mm Radiator Support, 7x PCI Slot (1x120mm PCIe Fan Bracket), Front I/O: 2xUSB, 1xT

Bought this case after reading a number of positive reviews.
Cable management options are great, ended up with a very clean back section with minimal time put in to tidying up cables.
Removable top radiator tray makes access simple for running cables and installing fans.

Only gripes:
Moving the front I/O to the low position isn't the easiest with 160mm fans installed. It will go there but it's fiddly to do and you need to partially remove the fans to run the cables.
Could do with some more holes for managing cables that connect to the bottom of the motherboard. Might not be an issue with ATX, but nothing there for MATX mobos.

All up, very happy and highly recommended.

This case was simply a joy to build in, want room up top for roof mounted radiator - check, want room for a decent air cooler - check, I went with the water cooling setup as it has 2 positions for the motherboard stand offs, cable management was typical Lian Li - Lots of room for that as well, I also went with a vertical Gpu mount, Cooling performance was above my expectations with a 20 degree drop on fan stop idle with the gpu and previous idle temps whilst under load (49c on idle and 60-70c with old case down to 29c and 49 to 55c under load for a 3060Ti). This case is a solid buy and punches well above its price point.

excellent case for an upgrade!
pros: very customisable, cable management sections, 3x huge case fans! power controller+rgb on the back, lots of space for plenty of drives and different sized components etc, lots of lian li accessories can fit easily
cons: w the glass side panel it is significantly heavier, it also wider than the average mid tower to best to make sure case dimensions fit your space requirements excellent case for an upgrade!

As the title says its that good. Purchased this case based of review feedback and happy I did. As the title says its that good. Purchased this case based of review feedback and happy I did.

I have been building PC since 2012 starting with i7 4770k on and off until now. This case is beautiful and extremely easy to work on. There're so much space in the back + tapes which is a heaven to cables management. The sides are very easy to open. The top cover could be removed to install the radiator. This helped me to install Cooler Master 240 Liquid Cooler easily. One thing I don't like is I prefer the traditional aluminum side panel. The tempered glass looks nice with all the disco RPG inside but it's heavy. I have 2 HDDs, 2 SSDs, 1 NVMe inside + the radiator. I prefer the old-school side panel which helps to reduce the weight.

I did a fare amount of research before settling on the Lian Li Lancool 216... so very glad I did! This case surprises at every point in the build, and continues to surprise (in great ways) as and when I need to add components to the build. I would strongly recommend the Lian Li 216 to anyone looking to have an adaptable PC Case that they can "grow" with... you won't go wrong. PB Tech had the best price for this - yet again!

This case has great cooling and lots of room and flexibility when it comes to placement of fans, radiators, etc. The motherboard can be mounted in two different configurations as well as options for vertical mounting of the PCIE cards (however the purchase of a separate riser card is required for this configuration).

Downsides are the placement of the optional cooling fan bracket behind the expansion slots which doesn't leave enough room to plug cables in. I found that mounting the fan on the outside of the bracket instead of the inside helps with this, but leaves the fan sticking out more in the back and allows some airflow to bypass th...view more This case has great cooling and lots of room and flexibility when it comes to placement of fans, radiators, etc. The motherboard can be mounted in two different configurations as well as options for vertical mounting of the PCIE cards (however the purchase of a separate riser card is required for this configuration).

Downsides are the placement of the optional cooling fan bracket behind the expansion slots which doesn't leave enough room to plug cables in. I found that mounting the fan on the outside of the bracket instead of the inside helps with this, but leaves the fan sticking out more in the back and allows some airflow to bypass the case because it instead comes in around the sides of the bracket.

Another downside is the placement of the fan / RGB hub on the backside of the case. Since it's placed up at the top of the case it makes it difficult for cables to reach from fans located at the bottom and I had to route the cables directly across the side instead of being able to neatly route them through the appropriate channels for them to reach.

Also the included rear fan doesn't have RGB, which is not a huge deal but would be nice to have.

All things considered, though, it's a really nice looking case with lots of room inside and plenty of options for mounting and airflow.

This is hands down the one of the best affordable case's I have ever built in, superb airflow, great cable management and easy to build in. This is hands down the one of the best affordable case's I have ever built in, superb airflow, great cable management and easy to build in.

Really cannot fault this case for the price/features. Really good airflow, love the 160mm front fans. Pretty quiet too even under full load they have barely ran over 50%. Cable management is great and heeeaps of space for components etc. and being able to move the usb/power hub is great especially having my PC on my desk. Would definitely recommend.

Easily best case I’ve used great airflow and it’s dead silent only gripe is the back fan doesn’t work as the i.0 ports are in the wrong place Easily best case I’ve used great airflow and it’s dead silent only gripe is the back fan doesn’t work as the i.0 ports are in the wrong place

Got this bad boy on sale, prefect case great airflow comes with GPU support bracket as well as a fan hub Got this bad boy on sale, prefect case great airflow comes with GPU support bracket as well as a fan hub

Much better than the Lian li 215, easy to work in, great air flow and looks, a simplified elegant and practical case is how I would sum it up :) Much better than the Lian li 215, easy to work in, great air flow and looks, a simplified elegant and practical case is how I would sum it up :)
