LIAN LI LANCOOL 2 BLACK Tempered Glass ATX Case

Many might look at this and think this is a robot review. But, it's not. I bought this case for my new pc build. Love the design and heard people say it can be a pain to build in. But it was a joy to work with and had plenty of space to move and get my fingers in. Even where I thought I wouldnt, which was the power supply but once I moved the hard drive bay(which is easy to do by only removing one screw.) It went together without a hitch. I would recommend this case for its ease and air flow. Plus its ability for easy hiding of even terrible cable management from an inexperienced user. The only thing I have to say is the case is heavy to move and the glass can be sharp in a few spots. Which did lead to me getting cut once when I was being dumb. Lends to the blood and sweat of earning something great!

The media could not be loaded. Pros: Much sturdier construction than I expected! The tempered glass can lift off to be set aside for safety while working on your PC. There is no shortage of thumb screws, and there are lots of removable covers and conveniently placed cable openings that truly is a Godsend with cable management! The LED's are very vivid and there are lots of cool visualization options (the colors on the video are dull, especially the yellow and green, but I assure you, they are all bright and vivid irl!). Also great that you can turn it off as well.Cons: The only possible "con" is that my liquid cooling radiator won't fit inside the top because it would hit the RAM. So if you are dead set on having your radiator mounted inside the top, be careful with your motherboard choice, otherwise this case might not work. I have mine now mounted in the front and my PC is staying cool so the placement is working fine.Overall I LOVE this case! So much so that I bought another and had it sent to my brother! When it comes to cable management, what is great with this is that it does not have to be perfect as the removeable covers inside the left (back) side cover the "mess" of cables with little effort. The hardest part is simply ensuring you aren't pinching any cables, but even with all the small Corsair RGB/Fan cables, it was a breeze. It is easy to get overwhelmed with the huge mess of tangled "spaghetti" that is the cables while building your PC, but I assure you, just weave them through the openings and the rest is literally cleanly hidden and looks beautiful! Surprisingly simple and I would consider this case a game-changer. Highly recommended!

I've been building computers since 1994, and this is easily the best case I've ever purchased.I know cases have come a long way since then, and even in the last 5-10 years. Then I heard there was a case that had hinged tempered glass, flip-down access panels, durable mesh filters, addressable RGB, and magnetic catches all around (including the dust filters!). I was actually putting off building a new rig, and when I saw this case, I basically scrambled to throw my money at Lian-Li. No other case mattered.When it arrived, I was heartbroken to find that somehow it had been damaged in shipping. The plastic mounts that hold the front faceplate on had snapped. I contacted Lian-Li directly on the off chance they could help, and they sent me replacement mounts. So not only is the case amazing, but Lian-Li has a great support team as well.And the case is everything I hoped it would be. Not only are the sides hinged, but they easily slide off so they're not flapping around the whole time you're working in the case. The back panel of the motherboard (pictured) where most cable management would go, even has convenient and aesthetically pleasing covers. There are plenty of zip mounts in the back as well, which were wide enough for my velcro securing straps. It's like they interviewed multiple system builders and took copious notes on everything anyone might want.What I found really interesting about the dust filters is that they're a perforated and flexible material with magnetic backing. So it's easy to slip off for cleaning, and very durable.About the only annoying thing about the case itself is that it doesn't actually come with the USB-C case header, which is only available separately. Still, there aren't very many dual-end USB-C cables around just yet, so that's not a pressing concern. I'm also guessing this is one of the reasons the case only costs about $100, which is a massive bargain given everything it does.This thing is the gold standard of case design, in my opinion. Everything lines up perfectly, the quality is top notch, and I couldn't be happier! My next build will be a Lian-Li for sure.
