LIAN LI High Airflow Micro ATX PC Case, RGB Gaming Computer Case, Mesh Front Panel Mid-Tower Chassis with 2x140mm ARGB PWM Fans Pre-Installed, Tempered Glass Side Panel (LANCOOL 205M MESH, Black)

I am giving the LANCOOL 205M a 5 star review. At the time of purchase, it was ~$97 which was a very good value considering it comes with 2 high quality fans (near silent). The build quality is also very good, but I did manage to break a plastic tab when removing the front panel. Lian Li customer support sent me a brand new panel from Hong Kong, no questions asked! However, I will avoid removing the front panel in the future. The LANCOOL 205M case supports "Micro ATX" boards and in my mind I had envisioned it to be a little smaller, regardless of having checked dimensions. In reality it is not that much smaller than the Corsair 4000D. The RGB version of the Corsair is more expensive, but looks very similar with a couple nice upgrades. Specifically, it has an improved front panel including a USB-C connection and an audio combo jack. If you plan on using a 3.5mm headset with a microphone, the LANCOOL requires a splitter. My overall recommendation is if you are considering the LANCOOL 205M to also consider the Corsair 4000D or perhaps even the LANCOOL 205 MESH C.

The 205M Mesh case was a pleasure to build in and the cable management couldn't have been easier. It comfortably fits most components and, even without expensive braided cables, your build will look simple and elegant with minimal effort. Construction quality feels very sturdy and has no flimsiness whatsoever (a complaint that pops up in case reviews for other cases at this price point). There are no quirks about this case that I could find that made building in it problematic. If you're looking for micro-ATX case with plenty of wiggle room, good cable management, sturdy construction, and beautiful to look at, just go with this one.

This is one of the best cases you can get when your building a m-atx rig. I highly recommend this case to anyone. Pros: Good Looking, easy to get in to, cable management loops, comes with all screws and a good number of zip ties, power supply shroud is nice, rubber grommets for cable holes which is rare at this price point. Cons: None. If you can spend a little extra money on this case, you won't be disappointed.

Great case fit all of my parts very well and it looks great next to my desk. Not much to say about it except for the fact that it works. The fans are quiet, which I like and overall it’s just a great case.

What can I say about this case? 1.) Great airflow; the included 140mm fans absolutely PUSH air through this thing. They're not even that loud to boot. Paired with a good air cooler, you should have absolutely no issues with temps if you decide to go that direction. 2.) Nice and simple design. It looks good while not being over the top. You can stick with the rgb fans or go for a stealth build and itll still look great. I love how the mesh front glows with the light from the fans, and that huge tempered glass panel on the side to ogle your pricey hardware. 3.) Overall size is the best of both worlds. It's not a big case at all, yet it has enough room for high end cards like my (current) rtx 4080s in the first pic, and rtx 3070 in the second PLUS a big aircooler like my peerless assassin. The side panel gives you heaps of room for wires, and the panel doesn't bulge at all. 4.) Quality. It feels sturdy, the gpu slot alone keeps my gpu from sagging, which was an issue I had in my last case. The metal panels are pretty thick, the tempered glass is supported by metal from the rear, it slides in to the front and screws on with two rear thumb screws so it doesnt jump to its death when you unscrew it. Plenty of nice thumb screws for easy access to your internals on both sides. Definitely a great bang for your buck. Not to mention the rubber grommets around the wiring holes for that extra bit of clean wire management. Id recommendthis case to anyone looking for a well priced matx tower.
