Lian Li Lancool 216 Mid-tower case with high cooling performance - Includes controller - dual front 160MM PWM fans and 1 rear 140MM PWM fan - Airflow focused - Up to 10 fans (LANCOOL 216RC-X BLACK)

Really happy with this case! Plenty of space for components, excellent airflow, and the design looks sleek. Building my PC was easy, and it keeps everything nice and cool even under heavy load. Definitely a solid choice for any custom build!

Case is awesome. Airflow is way better than any other case I have used. Looks extremely cool. Really fun and relatively easy to work with. Rgb lights are DOPE. I gaze at it all the time. If you buy this case, you will be happy. Very well put together, very strong/sturdy. Top fell off a chair and now doesn't slide on quite as well as it used to, so make sure nothing falls or slides off. Uses two onboard usb3 ports, so make sure you plug in the one you want the most, if your case doesn't have two USB 3 ports onboard.

Very adequate ventilation, with space to put liquid cooler. Nice RGB lighting on front fans. No lighting on the rear fan though. RGB isn’t a must have IMO.

Great case, plenty of room for an RTX 4090. Great temps, plenty of room for airflow. Only thing I didn’t like, which is solely from the parts I’m using, was that the hard drive bays were in the way. I’m using a Corsair 1500 watt platinum PS and the cables need some more room so I’m only using 1 actual HD bay and have my other HD sitting loose on top. This case does have two spots for 2.5 drives on side panel behind the motherboard which is where I ended up putting my ssd's.

**UPDATE** Changing form inital 2 stars to 4 stars. Amazon gave me a full refund for the defective USB C port and let me keep the case. Lian Li was a bit more of a hassle in regards to getting a replacement front panel/USB C port but they finally did come through as well. Overall this is one of the best cases for air flow and is premium and super easy to build in as its spacious. Original review: I genuinely like the Lian Li Lancool 216 case. It’s sleek, spacious, and feels premium. Overall a great choice for my first PC build. But here is some honest feedback. Front Panel USB-C Issue: The USB-C port on the front panel of my unit is completely unusable. I tested multiple cables and devices, even applied extra pressure, but nothing fit properly. I gave up before risking damage to my gear. Meanwhile, both USB-A ports work perfectly. It’s frustrating, especially since the USB-C was a key reason I chose this case. RGB Remote (Paid Extra for this feature): I paid a bit more for the version with the RGB remote, but honestly, it’s not worth it. No instructions were included, and the buttons are limited and confusing: -Button 1: Cycles RGB modes -Button 3: Changes color -Hold Button 1: Syncs with motherboard -Buttons 2 & 4: Don’t seem to do anything I ended up using Armoury Crate (from my ASUS motherboard) instead. It offers far more control, not just RGB, but fan speeds, temps, and more. The Good Stuff: -Tons of space and excellent airflow -Three included fans (two large front RGB) keep things cool and quiet -Cable routing is easy, and both the glass and top & side panels are a breeze to remove -Build quality is solid, it really feels like a premium case I’ve reached out to Lian Li support about the USB-C issue and will update once I hear back. Final Thoughts: The front panel USB-C not working and the lackluster remote were definite disappointments. I expected better QC and documentation. That said, returning the case and rebuilding everything would be a hassle — so more than likely going to keep the case. For a first-time builder, this case checks most of the right boxes: it looks great, runs cool, and is easy to work with. Giving it 2 stars in hopes that Amazon/Lian Li support follows through, I will happily update here and change my rating.

Best case I ever built. When I removed the top panel, I loved it! This is like working with an open bench! The ease of assembly is off the chain! This is my first Lian Li case. I'm aware of the problems in earlier cases. This has a lot of features included with the purchase. I selected this case for the ability to move the I/O switch and the fan controller. Very happy. If I were to buy the included options separate, it would have been more money.

Picked this case up after watching several very positive reviews on the interwebs. I was originally torn between this case and the Be Quiet Pure Base 500DX as I wanted a good air cooling case that minimized noise and looked good. I have not been disappointed - this case does everything pretty well. It looks good, the included fans are both unique and very efficient (for large fans they actually make use of the full front opening, unlike those even larger fans where the case frame blocks 1/4 of the blade surface area) and it is very easy to build in with nice cable management features. While not the biggest disco RGB guy, I did get the RGB version for a bit of flash and the included RGB controller with 2 additional USB 3 ports was preinstalled and wired up from the factory which lights up the 2 large front fans (the rear 140mm exhaust fan is not lighted). The included fan hub (rgb version only) located in the back side is simple but does the job, providing expansion for 2 additional fans if you'd like (personally, I connect most of my fans directly to the mobo and don't use hubs much). The rgb effects are basic but do provide for separate fan blade and ring adjustments - they look good to me. The case offers a nearly infinite combination of cooling arrangements using both air and/or water, with a unique motherboard positioning option that can lower the mobo down about 1.5" to provide additional room for radiators up top. Speaking of which, the removable top frame makes system building and fan installation very easy and should be a standard feature of any modern pc case these days. An included "shield plate" can be installed to block off the front top opening, preventing air from bypassing areas you want cooled. The rear 140mm exhaust fan is larger than the typical 120mm used in most cases, which produces less noise. Fans can also be mounted on the bottom psu shelf to pull in cool air through the side mesh panel for the GPU. There are MANY more features this case provides - I suggest you check out some reviews from Gamer's Nexus etc who have rated this case highly across the board. Keep in mind these reviews account only for the fans included with the case - I noted the GN review showed middling GPU cooling for this case, but having installed one single 120mm fan at the bottom center position (directed upwards to the GPU) that my RTX 3070 never broke 68'C in benchmark tests. Likewise, my Noctua U12A air cooler kept my 13600K cpu at 80'C running Cinebench R23 - excellent results for an air cooled system. All this while running virtually silent thanks to the large fans that can spin at lower rpms. In conclusion, I'd recommend this case to anyone building an air cooled system. If you are planning on water cooling, I think the unique 160mm fans are wasted in that scenario and you'd be better off with something else. But for air? This case HAS to be one of the best options available.

The two larger front fans moves a lot of air and does it very quietly. I love that you can change the position of the power switch with the extra USB ports and LED controls. The fan’s leds are really cool too with the halo and fan lights that can be synced or changed independently.
