Lian Li Lancool 216 Mid-Tower Case With High Cooling Performance (LANCOOL 216-X)

I’m surprised whenever I buy a mid-tower case how much bigger it is than I anticipated. But it’s so nice to build in a big box; there’s so much room. And this Lancool 216 is a pleasure to build in. It’s so nicely and conveniently designed. And it has great, cool airflow! I stuck this in an Ikea desk (see picture) and I’ve had no heating issues (with an intel i7-12700k and RTX 4060). I did have to take the front door off for a couple reasons, and the fan noise is audible, but neither of those things bother me.

Great case. Highly recommend. Would buy again.

Overall, this is a nice case. I don’t know how common of a problem that this is, but it was shipped to me with a piece missing (one of the back panels). Fortunately, customer service connected me with the missing part after I sent them a photo. Certain aspects to constructing this case were less intuitive than ideal, although it could have been worse. That being said, once I had everything put together, it had all the features I needed and it has proven to function great for my home built PC.

Lots of airflow easy to build in!

Existem dezenas de milhares de marcas e modelos de gabinete. Pesquisei bastante e fui filtrando as marcas e categorias e acabei chegando nesse da lian li. Nunca tinha ouvido falar antes dessa marca, mas aparentemente é uma excelente marca.

Não achei outro gabinete midtower que oferece tudo que ele tem pelo mesmo preço. Era o unico que tinha usb-c na parte frontal e já vem com tres fans instaladas.

Unica ressalva é que tem um acessório que é comprado a parte, um filtro, que poderia vir incluso já, considerando o preço do produto. Tirando isso, nada a reclamar por enquanto, muito amplo e fácil para instalar as peças do pc. O airflow dele também eh bastante elogiado.

Picked this case up after watching several very positive reviews on the interwebs. I was originally torn between this case and the Be Quiet Pure Base 500DX as I wanted a good air cooling case that minimized noise and looked good. I have not been disappointed – this case does everything pretty well. It looks good, the included fans are both unique and very efficient (for large fans they actually make use of the full front opening, unlike those even larger fans where the case frame blocks 1/4 of the blade surface area) and it is very easy to build in with nice cable management features. While not the biggest disco RGB guy, I did get the RGB version for a bit of flash and the included RGB controller with 2 additional USB 3 ports was preinstalled and wired up from the factory which lights up the 2 large front fans (the rear 140mm exhaust fan is not lighted). The included fan hub (rgb version only) located in the back side is simple but does the job, providing expansion for 2 additional fans if you’d like (personally, I connect most of my fans directly to the mobo and don’t use hubs much). The rgb effects are basic but do provide for separate fan blade and ring adjustments – they look good to me.

The case offers a nearly infinite combination of cooling arrangements using both air and/or water, with a unique motherboard positioning option that can lower the mobo down about 1.5″ to provide additional room for radiators up top. Speaking of which, the removable top frame makes system building and fan installation very easy and should be a standard feature of any modern pc case these days. An included “shield plate” can be installed to block off the front top opening, preventing air from bypassing areas you want cooled. The rear 140mm exhaust fan is larger than the typical 120mm used in most cases, which produces less noise. Fans can also be mounted on the bottom psu shelf to pull in cool air through the side mesh panel for the GPU.

There are MANY more features this case provides – I suggest you check out some reviews from Gamer’s Nexus etc who have rated this case highly across the board. Keep in mind these reviews account only for the fans included with the case – I noted the GN review showed middling GPU cooling for this case, but having installed one single 120mm fan at the bottom center position (directed upwards to the GPU) that my RTX 3070 never broke 68’C in benchmark tests. Likewise, my Noctua U12A air cooler kept my 13600K cpu at 80’C running Cinebench R23 – excellent results for an air cooled system. All this while running virtually silent thanks to the large fans that can spin at lower rpms.

In conclusion, I’d recommend this case to anyone building an air cooled system. If you are planning on water cooling, I think the unique 160mm fans are wasted in that scenario and you’d be better off with something else. But for air? This case HAS to be one of the best options available.

This case was the easiest computer build I ever did. The construction of the case is very high end. Also there is very high airflow before you even add any components. The inside is spacious and easy to work in with great cable management. Your finished computer will look beautiful in this case. I think all Lian Li products are very high end and this case won’t disappoint.
