Review on 🖥️ Lian Li LANCOOL II MESH RGB White LAN2MRW Tempered Glass ATX Case - The Ultimate White Gaming Case with Mesh RGB Design - LANCOOL II MESH RGB White - LAN2MRW by Eric Williamson

I purchased this tower to migrate existing components from a full height tower which I found to be lacking in ventilation. The build is as follows: • Lian Li Lancool II mid-size case (obviously) • MSI Z390 Gaming Pro Carbon AC motherboard • Intel I9-9900K processor • Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4 -25600) Desktop Memory (another 32GB will be added) • Corsair H100i RGB Platinum AIO Liquid CPU Cooler • EVGA Supernova 850 G5 80 Plus Gold 850W Power Supply • EVGA Geforce RTX 2060 Super XC Gaming 8GB GDDR6 Dual Fan RGB LED -Back panel made of metal and Powerlink • Samsung SSD 860 1 TB 2.5" SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (boot drive) • 3 hard drives from different manufacturers with a total storage capacity of 7GB. • Case fan Corsair QL140 RGB – 2 pieces (front air intake) • Corsair QL120 RGB case fans x 3 (1 rear vent. Exhaust, 2 replace ML120 fans on H100i cooler) Good • Assembling this turret was pretty easy, even easy in some ways ) cases, detachable front and and side walls as well as several accesses s Points Left (CPU) and right side of the tower have a lot to do with ease of assembly. The ventilation in this tower is much better around the perimeter (which is what I expected). The full-tower it replaced consistently had temperatures across the board - CPU, memory, motherboard - that were 5-6 degrees Celsius warmer than expected when idling (35-36C for the CPU), which I was concerned about wear and tear troubled. . The design of the Lian Lancool II tower idles about a degree less than expected (29-30C for the CPU) with two 140mm intake fans at the front, one 120mm exhaust fan at the rear and one 240mm mm fan liquid fan. Top AIO cooling in LanCool vs. 2 intake 140mm fans on front, 1 intake 120mm fan on top, 2 intake 140mm fans on bottom, 1 exhaust 140mm fan on rear and 280mm AIO liquid cooling on the top. in the replaced tower. I expect the same temperature differences when a new tower is loaded. • The motherboard stands were positioned perfectly! This is the first time for me. I just put the motherboard back in and all of the screw holes on the motherboard lined up perfectly with the tabs. There were no problems with the screws either. Another new one from me! • Magnetic attachment of the bottom and glass side panels greatly facilitates access to internal mechanisms. By pushing the hard drive housing a little forward, the power supply unit including the cable can be installed quite easily. • The end result looks good and works well. Cons: • The "panels" on the right that are supposed to hide the cables don't work. with me with the usual thick power cable. The only way to use them is to pull the power cords taut on that side, making the left and more visible side look cluttered with excess cords. Since the right side glass case is hardly fixed. I might have to scratch my head and experiment a bit to improve this, but as long as it lasts I'll probably leave it alone. • The install guide is pretty much a collection of images and can be a bit confusing for those doing their first build. . One thing I noticed was that the RGB wiring on the front was showing up completely wrong. The front panel fits perfectly with the three slots on the frame. There are 2 cables for the RGB front panel. One cable is a SATA connection to power the 2 RGB buttons on top of the front panel and a 4 pin RGB cable coming from these buttons to connect it with a small 4 pin cable, coming from the bottom of the front panel. The manual incorrectly states a 4-pin connection going to the LED header on the motherboard. never mind And connect 2 4-pin cables as above. • As described above, a guide is a set of images with a one-sentence description of each image. Some of them are easy and some will leave you scratching your head. It's not that big of a problem for me as I've done a few builds in the past. • No HDD LED light. It was a bit of a surprise. Not a big deal, but always nice to know build data is being accessed • Front panel RGB lighting is a bit blah. There are a few display options with the 2 RGB buttons on the top front, but the results are pretty much on par with the latest generation. I chose a solid blue for the front panel and the RGB on the motherboard, memory, case and AIO fans made the tower glow. , completely covered by these metal plates; why not make the turntable out of metal instead of glass? What's the point of having a pane of glass if all you can see is metal (or in my case a bunch of wires)? This isn't a big issue for me as my desktop location (as shown in the image) highlights the left side, just a suggestion. In general, I like this tower. This solved my bleeding issues and I had no assembly issues other than a tight fit on the right hand side panel. If you can stand the "images" in the installation guide (suggest going to the Lian website and downloading them), I recommend the tower, especially at this price point, although I recommend investing in multiple fans ( 2 140M and 1 120MM). ) to replace the 3 main 120mm fans. I rate it 4 out of 5 for the few little things above.
