The Lancool 205 at a glance: The new Lancool 205 combines premium design with excellent cooling properties. Lian Li have crafted a particularly stylish Midi-Tower case with the Lanccool 205. It includes a tempered glass side panels to let users display any components they have installed. RGB LED illumination is particularly effective as mesh inlets on the front panel create an eye catching effect when they are illuminated. Perfect for PC modders - easy access to components Even when cranking up the loads, heat dissipation is superb, with the rear exhaust fan never struggling and rarely feeling like it's actually warm air coming out. Maximum CPU temperatures under a full stress test only ever reached the low 70s Celsius (158F) and the fully open top did a great job at venting the heat. You could expect similar results using a blower-style GPU as well, and if you're air cooling the amount of air that the front 140mm fans pull through, this means you're going to have no issues cooling even a warm CPU.The rest of that side is taken up by a PSU shroud that is integrated into the exterior of the case but is also removable for easy access to your power supply. It's held in by a single screw and simply slides out. Nothing fancy, but it's a seamless design integration that fits perfectly with the aesthetics of the case.

The Lian Li Lancool 205M Mesh may only measure 400mm in height, but is still able to accommodate high performance hardware. There is space within the main chamber to install either a Mini-ITX or Micro-ATX motherboard. Alongside this solid foundation, there is also clearance for a powerful 350mm long GPU. Under the main compartment is space for installing the PSU. This area can house a 180mm long power supply, in addition to a drive cage for two storage drives. The drive cage can support either two 3.5" HDDs or a 3.5" HDD and a 2.5" SSD. Two more 2.5" SSDs can also be installed behind the motherboard tray, for a total of up to four storage drives! ATX is the maximum size motherboard the Lancool 205 Mesh will take, and you get a full complement of available PCIe expansion slots on the rear of the case as a companion. The NZXT N7 Z590 has a lot of important bits on the very bottom of the motherboard, but feeding cables to the right headers is simple thanks to the two sizeable, but still discreet-looking access holes in the bottom. Lian Li is one of the biggest and most respected case makers in the world. They’ve had countless awards from me over the last decade (OK, maybe not really countless, I just can’t be bothered to count them), and from many others around the world. It’s not exactly surprising then that this case is pretty excellent. Albeit they’ve not done anything that their rivals aren’t doing, it’s a bit by the numbers really. You get a tempered glass window, a couple of pre-installed fans, dust filters, good hardware support, a PSU shroud, and some stealth SSD mounts. However, what is impressive is the overall quality you get for such a small price. With natural airflow, you might worry about dust taking root inside your gaming PC tower. Thanks to the comprehensive dust filters across the body of the Lian Li Lancool 205 Mesh, that worry is no more. Positioned on the top, front, and bottom, all the filters are removable, making them very easy to clean! For added convenience, the top filter is magnetic, making it exceptionally easy to detach and reinstall. Interior Design
