Lian Li Lancool 216 Mid-Tower Airflow Case-3 PWM Fans-Black-LANCOOL 216-X

I bought the Lian Li Lancool 216 (non-RGB version) for a new gaming PC build, and I’m extremely happy with it. The minimalist look is perfect if you prefer a clean setup without flashy lighting. The two large 160mm front fans and the 140mm rear fan provide outstanding airflow while staying surprisingly quiet. Building inside the case was very easy thanks to the spacious interior and excellent cable management options. There’s plenty of room for large GPUs and CPU coolers, and the removable panels make installation hassle-free. The build quality feels premium, and the airflow keeps my components running cool even during long gaming sessions. If you want a high-quality case focused on performance rather than RGB effects, the Lancool 216 is an excellent choice and offers fantastic value for the price. Highly recommended!

I brought this case as a replacement for a Corsair 200R case that I had built my first PC in. This is a well thought out case, easy to build in, stock fans are very quiet at idle, and for my air focused build, on par with the same build in a Fractal Torrent XL as far as thermals go (actually better by a few degrees). Gamers Nexus is 100% spot on as far as thermals go. The good: Easy to build in. Descent cable management. Front, sides, window are all easy to open/access and secure with thumb screws (except front which is snap fit). Included PWM 160mm front fans are quiet and move air well thru the case, same with the rear 140 PWM. Fans don't feel cheap. Completely stock config this case is worthy. No real need to add any additional fans, unless you want to add a lower fan (front position) for your GPU or try other configs. I went with the default fan config as it's just working, well, really well. 32deg c at idle. Case looks nicer then I expected. It's a dark case, no power LED. It has a reset switch which is nice. Combo headphone/mic jack feels solid, no issues with either headphones or headset functionality or insert (unlike the Torrent). Window looks good and feels solid, although I generally avoid presentation cases in general, so this is a big departure for me. I like the look. The case has no other LEDs to tell if it's on (it's that quiet). Looks nice as a presentation case. The Meh: The MB "air cooling mode" config standoffs leave an awkward GPU placement. Recommend using the standard position. Again Gamers Nexus spot on on this. The PSU shroud has removable plates to add fans, install SSDs, etc. The screw holes are small, so removing them is required to add fans, and they must be installed on top, not below the shroud. I am sure one could add some long screws and bolts, but the kit does not include hardware to do this, at least with standard size fan screw patterns. Lian Li fans may get you around this, but I am a dedicated Noctua guy. No biggie. I may look more into a below shroud fan position mod and update the review. The anti-sag bracket uses MB standoffs to support the bracket fyi. Note that the standard 216 case does NOT have a fan hub, but is the same price, yet has PWM front 160mm fans instead of the ARGB fans on the RGB version. Note that the rear GPU 120mm fan cage is kinda weird, sticks out, and feels like an afterthought. Best guess is it is included for folks who do not like the PSU shroud top mounted fan look. Who knows. Overall I like the case. The thermals are excellent with my build, better or on par with the Torrent XL at a much smaller footprint, price, and noticeably quieter/near silent at idle. Was a breeze to build in, plenty of space to navigate. Good manual available online and included screw accessory box is a nice perk. Looks great and feels premium. Unsure about fan compatibility if the front 160mm fans need replacement, as Lian Li is kinda known for proprietary fans, but once you go over 140mm, this is an issue with most manufacturers. Would build in a 216 again for sure. Footprint, thermals, looks, and ease of install is spot on. Hats off to Lian Li for this model.

5 stars — Excellent case for my first PC build I used this for my first ever PC build, and while it ended up being a little bigger than I probably needed, I do not regret going with it. Airflow was one of the things I was most concerned about when choosing a case, and this seemed like a good way to give myself plenty of cooling without overcomplicating the build. So far, it has worked out really well. The case feels very solid and well made, especially for around the $99 price point. Nothing about it feels flimsy or cheap, and there was plenty of room to work inside, which I really appreciated as a first-time builder. The extra space also made cable management and installing components less stressful than I expected. I would rather have a little more room than I technically need than fight with a cramped case. For a first PC build, this was a really comfortable case to work with. Good airflow, sturdy construction, plenty of room, and very good quality for the price.

Everything about this case is great and easy to work with. I dock 1 star though because there is a significant delay between pressing the power button and the PC turning on. I second guess whether I pressed the button hard enough. Everything else is A+. Good fan support, access, and my giant GPU fits.

I have built many systems over the years but at the moment the Lancool 216 is my go to choice. Solid construction, wonderful air flow, roomy that allows some customization; Paired this with an ATX size Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX and a Ryzen 7600X cpu with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black heatsink. Well worth the money.

I had no problem fitting a Gigabyte 4080 in this case. I don't use a radiator though - just the front fans that came with it (I just air cool). Temps are good. Case was easy to work with and came with plenty of screws. No problems. I would buy this again.

This case is the truth! The price for what you’ll be getting is not to shabby either (wink.) ATX, MATX, EATX, Heck if ZATX was a thing it’ll fit nicely in this case as well! This case can be taken apart with ease; wanna just use your hand to remove the side, the front, the glass panel the top? Go right ahead no problem! Wanna add two 140mm fans to the ceiling or floor of it? Sure why not. How about adding three 120mm fans instead! This case is absolutely spacious if it floats your boat to place that GPU in a vertical position? Guess what… nothing but head room baby! But above all that, the thing I love the most… no RGB lights. Ahhh bliss. Hello darkness my old friend. The air flow in this baddie is c’est magnifique and the dust protection, forget about it. Wow I almost forgot to mention the two big boy 160mm fans in the front ready to rock and or roll. So stop reading this and go get this case right now. Go!

I purchased this case for an air cooled build and it worked out really well. Couple of things to note, if you get this non-RGB version like I did it does not come with the RGB fan controller in the case but I still had plenty of can connections on my motherboard to support this cases fans as well as my CPU cooling fans. It comes in the liquid cooled mode so you will have to move the components up for your motherboard if you are doing an air cooled build. Overall I am really impressed by the quality of the build and how easy it was to work with and cable manage everything.

Case per tutti, predisposto per montare qualsiasi componente; modulare in tutte le sue parti; predisposto per il montaggio gpu verticale; compreso kit supporto gpu in orizzontale. Perfetto in ogni dettaglio, ingegnerizzato alla perfezione, finiture impeccabili! Per poco più di 100€ compratelo subito!!

Muy buena caja, con muy buen cable management. Le faltaría un filtro anti polvo superior y otro frontal (que es opcional y se vende aparte) para ser perfecta. Por este precio, me parece la mejor caja que he visto hasta la fecha. Importante leerse bien las instrucciones, que no son todo lo claras que deberían, para entender cómo se desmontan las tapas y otras partes.

Very good case ,I got it with discount. Case have plenty of room (any RTX 40 series) will fit. Also it's a transformer case you can install AO cooling or standard Fan for CPU. It includes bunch of screws, and other parts(covers, extra mount for GPU fan, zips etc). By the temperature, my i7 14700 drops 5-10° ,. compare to the old case. It includes 160mm *2 fans Nd 140mm *1 fan. You can install extra 5 fans if needed )) One minus is ,the aluminum is very thin. U can bend some part if you are not careful. Highly recommended,price is great. And it's heavy )))))

كيس بي سي ممتاز يعتبر كبير نسبه للاكياس الاخرى مناسب لتطوير القطع فيه مساحه تسمح لك باضافه مبرد معالج اكبر او كرت شاشه 👍🏻
