This Lian LI 216 E-ATX PC turned out to be an excellent choice. The case has a nice style. It's easy to assemble a PC using this case. Cables and wires are well routed and hidden for the most part. Nothing weird or difficult about its construction. Plenty of nice, large, illuminated slow speed and quiet cooling fans. Mainboard installation was easy. It handled the install of an all-in-one CPU liquid cooling unit just fine. Lots of room for the RTX3080 GPU card.Overall, I am very pleased with this case.

Easiest build I’ve ever done! Also the fans already inside are worth it

This is an amazing case.1. Airflow is just perfect, at most you'll need 3 additional fans for exhaust, no need for to buy extra intake fans.2. RGB looks good and can be disabled if wanted for stealth look.3. It has built in GPU Support bracket to avoid sag.4. Opening/Closing is really well design, building a pc is a delight as well as changing components.5. Front USB-C is a nice detail.6. Enough space for large gpu and cpu cooling7. The best case on it's price range.Cons:1. Due to the placement of the PSU, you might need a modular power supply.2. Manually switching the PSU requires screwing (fortunately it's a easy screw by hand).3. Cable management could be difficult on complex builds (RGA controllers, etc). For simple builds this is not a real issue imo.4. Power supply air intake could have a bit more room.5. Graphics card intake doesn't have a filter, could led to pet hair / more dust getting into the system. (easily fixable by using a DIY PC Case Dust Mesh Filter).

My over a decade of experience building custom PCs saw the use of this case as being one of the most pleasant builds I've ever done. The inclusion of 4 fans at this price is great to see and the non-standard layout ended up making the build easy and the cable management somehow not the worst experience of the build. Everything about this case just made the parts fit, cables be the perfect length, and airflow make sense. This build may not have been for me but as of right now I plan on using this case for my next personal rig.

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.

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!

I had the Lian Li Lancool 216 previously, and loved it. When the 207 came out recently, I decided to give it a try as well. As far as layout and building, it's even better than the 216. Tons of room and easy to build it. The only issue I have with it compared to the 216 is how loud it is. The 216 was whisper quite, but the 207 front fans are pretty dang loud. It normally doesn't bother me because I use a headset, but I can still hear it wind up even with the headset on. I wouldn't suggest this case if you need it to be quite. But, if you really only care about quality build and airflow, I'd say you can't beat it.

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.

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.
