LIAN LI LANCOOL 207 Compact ATX RGB Gaming Computer Case, Airflow Optimized Mesh Panels Tower Chassis w/ 2x140mm ARGB,2x120mm PWM Fans Pre-Installed, USB Type-C Port, Tempered Glass Side Panel (White)

Solid Case with Great Features and Cooling
I went with this case for my latest build, and it’s been a really solid choice. It has a sleek look, but more importantly, it’s functional and easy to work with. It feels durable and well-made, which is what I was looking for.There’s plenty of room inside, and it easily accommodates larger components without feeling cramped. Cable management was surprisingly smooth, and the built-in routing channels kept everything organized with minimal effort. Airflow has been great too, thanks to the included fans.What I appreciated most was how user-friendly it is. The case design makes installation straightforward, and everything fit together nicely. The removable panels and tool-free features were a big help during setup.Overall, if you’re after a roomy, well-designed case with good cooling and easy assembly, this is a great option. It checked all the boxes for me.

Great case
I’m surprised whenever I buy a mid-tower case how much bigger it is than I anticipated. But it’s so nice to build in a big box; there’s so much room. And this Lancool 216 is a pleasure to build in. It’s so nicely and conveniently designed. And it has great, cool airflow! I stuck this in an Ikea desk (see picture) and I’ve had no heating issues (with an intel i7-12700k and RTX 4060). I did have to take the front door off for a couple reasons, and the fan noise is audible, but neither of those things bother me.Great case. Highly recommend. Would buy again.

Great case but some stripped screws were an issue.
The case is great. Well designed, roomy and good cable management, while still maintaining fairly compact dimensions. The removable top is a big plus for installing a radiator. The fans are quiet and there are no rattles. I would have given it 5 stars but a few of the PCI expansion slot screws were overtightened at the factory and ended up being stripped. It took quite a bit of work to get them out. I would have returned it for a replacement but, by the time I discovered it, I had too much time invested in the build.

Estoy corriendo una AMD RX 7800 XT con un AMD Ryzen 7 7800x3d y una fuente de poder Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 850W 80+ Gold. El comportamiento térmico sin modificar es casi perfecto, hay a lo mucho (varia, mas comun al rededor de 3) 5 grados de diferencia entre tener abierto el gabinete y tenerlos cerrado sin optimizar nada. Mi GPU en modo normal y una curva conservadora no prende los abanícos mas que en momentos de mucha demanda de procesamiento y regresa a estar apagado. No he intentado modos quiet en mi gabinete porque normalmente tengo las bocinas activas y aunque se que se escucha los abanicos, una vez jugando ni cuenta me doy.

In order to cool down my latest PC I needed to invest in a future proof airflow case. When I previously upgraded I had moved from an older Corair 3000 non RGB into a Cooler Master MasterBox MB520 RGB. The Corsair was too large for my needs and the Cooler Master was a good deal. As well I found it fairly easy to work on and had descent reviews. However, it was just too crowded due to its small form factor. No matter what fans or software curve I threw at it, it just couldn’t keep up with the heat disipation of the new generation hardware I installed. The GPU generated the most heat somewhere between 75C and 80C. The CoolerMaster L240 liquid cooler kept the CPU between 70C and 80C during long game sessions but that was still way too hot for my liking. I reused this cooler from my previous upgrade with the intention of buying a 360 AIO cooler, but that would mean I needed a new case.So, the problem with the MasterBox was airflow. It was impeded by the front shroud that had side filtered ports and not direct airflow from the front. Combine that with the added L240 liquid cooler to the front and the airflow dropped considerably across the Mobo. It didn’t have the room to move the cooler to the top of the chassis. Not to mention the glass side panel would almost get too hot to touch around the GPU. I knew I had to upgrade the case and spent weeks reading and watching reviews online. The choices were endless but there are a few good unbiased reviews if you do enough research. Watch out for the sponsored crowd.There were 3 cases I had settled on during my research. The Fractal Design Torrent RGB, the Corsair 4000D and the Lian Li Lancool 216 RGB. The Corsair had the most user reviews as it’s a really great case but I had already gone down the Corsair path and wanted a change. I had my heart set on the Torrent but it was over my price range and not available in Canada at the time. So, the Lancool 216 fit the bill perfectly since it was also on sale. Bonus! Now, I know some of you will bauk at the 160mm front fans specific to Lian Li, but under the front shroud is an adjustable bracket that accepts 140mm & 120mm fans for those of you already invested in RGB. Also, the front panel power and usb module can be moved from the top to the side of the chassis easily. This was a bonus for me as the chassis sits on my desk and I don’t have to stretch to find the power button on the top of the chassis anymore. Unfortuneately the power and reset are not illuminated, a small sacrifice IMO and not a deal breaker.The next thing was the ability to install a 360 AIO liquid cooler at the top which in theory would not impede the airflow front to back. However, you can add an AIO to the front if you have need for it, just be mindful of your cross wind airflow. The velcro cable tie downs were well positioned and the built in ARGB fan hub was another welcomed bonus. Adding two additional 120mm fans that blow upward from the lower secton of the case allowed me to push more air toward the GPU from the bottom. However, one fan is restricted a bit from the PSU also at the bottom. None the less it gave me the lighting look that I wanted. Also to add, I removed the 3.5″ hard drive bay for the additional cable management space and to not impede the airflow to the lower fans. All in all this has been the best case I have ever purchased or worked on in 32 years of building PCs.To add, I did upgrade to a Corsair H150i Capellix XT 360 AIO cooler which btw was a breeze to install on the removable top plate of the Lancool 216 case, another added bonus. Lian Li did a great job with this case and I’m very impressed with it’s performance so far. My CPU and GPU are now running well below previous temps which will help me stretch the life of these components. Idle temps are somwhere between 32C and 37C for the CPU and GPU while writing this story. I really hope this helps anyone in their decision if looking to buy an airflow case. I think you will like the Lian Li Lancool 216 RGB, I just wish the 140mm rear exhaust fan was an ARGB and not just a standard fan. I guess that’s my only beef with the manufacturer, but I have a new Corsair 140mm ARGB on its way and with the included Corsair commander that came with the 360 AIO cooler I have spares for power and lighting.All the best and good luck with your next build. Peace out!
