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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Double check that the instructions and the case instructions match.

This case is perfect if you 1) have a modular power supply and/or 2) don't want to use 3.5" drives. advanced enough. The installation of the 3.5-inch drive also works without tools, which even my old Apevia case managed. The storage setup is clearly aimed at the gamer subculture, and accordingly, PSU cable management has been and will be a nightmare (don't know how to use extension cords yet). The opaque side panel also doesn't have enough headroom to keep the SATA power from pushing against it in an arc, so at least deciding where to place the hull is easy! The system connection including USB 3 is preconfigured, which is very nice, but unfortunately there is no hardware reset button on the case. The ATX bars are pre-assembled, so you can install the motherboard quickly and conveniently if you have an ATX case. The pre-installed fans are configured as push-pull and run pleasantly quiet, the overall airflow seems to be fine, at least for the mainstream processors. Startup) and doesn't mention that the PSU and storage tray are held in place with a screw, which wasn't the best experience, at least didn't bend anything before I noticed the black screw on the black background. good weight and resists a little slip on hard surfaces. In general, the case is very good if you are building a PC from scratch or not using a rotating grate for data storage.
