Review on πŸ–₯️ LIAN LI LANCOOL 205 MESH: High-Airflow Mid-Tower Gaming Case with ARGB Fans, Tempered Glass & Water-Cooling Support by Shawn Martin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Really nice micro pc case for small builds!

I used a Lancool 205 Micro case to build my first PC and am very satisfied! This is an amazing micro case and I really liked how it turned out. I'm by no means an expert in PC building, but I hope my review helps a little! Here are my specs - GTX 1050 - GIGABYTE B550M DS3H - Crucial Ballistix 3200MHz DDR4 - ARCTIC Freezer 34 eSports DUO - GIM KB-28 3 RGB Illuminated Case Fans, White, 120mm - EVGA 220-G3-0750 - X1 Super Nova 750 G3, 80 Plus Gold 750W - Seagate BarraCuda 2TB Internal Hard Drive - Crucial MX500 1TB - AMD Ryzen 5 3600Pros - Really easy to work with - Lots of different cable routing options. Simple and minimalist design. The micro tower is small enough to fit on a table without looking too big. Airflow on the back, top, front, under the PSU and the sides of the front panel (enough to install 5 fans // 1 rear fan, 2 top fans and 2 front fans) - Removable magnetic dust filters on top and bottom - Fits ARCTIC Freezer 34 Esports (off-white) PERFECT oh my god I was worried my CPU cooler wouldn't fit, but it fits perfectly in the tiny space between the tempered glass and the front of the CPU cooler - the gap in the front is big enough for a custom RGB panel - temperature good! my GPU runs around 35-41Β°C - the glass seems very high (it's pretty heavy too!) Cons - I wasn't sure if it was the motherboard or the case (maybe it was just me?) , but I have found it very difficult to install the motherboard onto the case. When I screwed the motherboard to the case I just couldn't get them to go in. I managed to get the corners, so I went for it. Though maybe it was just my fault and I didn't want to remove the screws :'(- I'm just a bit picky but I wish there were little raised cable management features on the back of the case (not sure what that is). Technical term) was slightly larger to accommodate the large zip pulls and velcro cable ties - I wasn't sure if the case was supposed to come with a mount but mine didn't (I'm still not sure whether the bracket is included or not), so I inserted my hard drive into the drive bay and placed the SSD directly onto the drive bay and zipped it in place.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Too long to wait
