Lives up to the hype
by TomGreat case, easy to build in, works well and has plenty of space.
Decent price, kept me updated with progress, well packed (and they chucked in some sweeties!) and good delivery. Great service overall.Read on Google
With a Lian Li Lancool 216 chassis, you’ll have a case perfect for a modern powerful gaming PC, thanks to its innovative airflow design. The Lancool 216 provides components unimpeded access to cool air, thanks to larger mesh panels on both the front and top of the chassis. Furthermore, Lian Li has totally redesigned the front fan assembly. It now includes a pair of 160mm fans housed in a specially designed shroud that channels air directly through the fans, cutting down on turbulence. Inside the main chamber, there are plenty of hardware options, including support for E-ATX motherboards, full size GPUs, and 180mm CPU coolers. Additionally, the Lancool 216 has been enhanced for maximum airflow by including an external bracket that enables you to install a 120mm fan to pull air across your GPU to maintain optimal temperatures.
The Lian Li Lancool 216 has been specially designed for maximum airflow, alongside being optimised for air and AIO cooling. The front and top panel feature fine mesh that permits ample air to flow both into and out of the case. Furthermore, Lian Li has totally redesigned the front fans for the Lancool 216, utilising dual 160mm fans. They are able to produce an astounding 118.85CFM of airflow with a static pressure of 3.10mmH2O. In addition to this, these fans are incorporated into a specially designed shroud that channels air for minimal turbulence.
There are also plenty of options for further cooling. At the top of the case, there is space to install a 360mm radiator with an overall thickness of 77mm. Furthermore, you can install a 120mm or 140mm fan at the rear and two 120mm or 140mm fans at the base of the chassis. One final innovation is the option to mount a 120mm fan dedicated to drawing air along the GPU, ensuring optimum performance can be achieved.
With the Lian Li Lancool 216, there are plenty of opportunities to adjust the chassis to your needs. In fact, you can even select one of two motherboard configurations including Air-Cooling Mode and Water-Cooling Mode. By making some simple adjustments to stand-offs and the rear I/O bracket, you can move the motherboard several centimetres up and down. If you wish to water cool your PC, you can position the motherboard lower, thus freeing up room for a radiator and fans. Otherwise, you can move the motherboard up, which allows you to maximise air cooling with the ability to install the external GPU fan.
What’s more, there are many other ways to customise this case. For example, the front I/O can be placed in one of two positions, on top of the front panel or down lower on the side. You can even install an additional dedicated RGB and USB controller in the alternative position (sold separately). At the top of the case, if you opt for a 280mm radiator there is a seal plate that you can install, which ensures optimal airflow. Additionally, you can vertically mount your GPU as the PCIe expansion slot is able to rotate (requires an additional riser cable, sold separately).
The Lian Li Lancool 216 features many innovations to help keep your gaming PC build clean and tidy. Firstly, behind the motherboard tray there are three Velcro straps situated next to the rubber pass-through grommets. This is perfect for bundling up multiple cables into a single run. In addition, a further two Velcro straps reside above the PSU chamber, ideal for holding excess cables away from the power supply ventilation. Finally, around the back are three small clips ideal for cleanly routing the CPU 8-pin cable.
Furthermore, Lian Li has made it easier to cable manage your fans as well. There are the standard channels for the front fans, but there are also similar routing options at the top. These provide easy access to the rear chamber without having to enter the main chamber.

Great case, easy to build in, works well and has plenty of space.
and sturdy case 2nd case ever built in and this time it was a breeze thanks to how modular this case is and plenty of depth in the side panel for as many cables as you have Was little bit of a fight with getting the front I/o cables routed as shown in the manual
