Looks nice and a fantastic all rounder, however manufacturers listen: STOP putting glass on the cable management side! It adds very little value but increases the cost, weight and fragility of the unit as a whole

"Born to excel" oh yeah!!! ill be doin them spreadsheets on this baby alright!

I wanted to thank my roommate for helping me build my first gaming pc and helping me with all of my accessories. He never asked for a dime the whole time so overheard him talking about this case so I brought him the rgb one $169. It should be here Friday 😁 can't wait to see his face.

I own the Lian Li lancool 2 mesh going 2 years now, and i dont feel like changing case yet. I recently cleaned my PC and i just remember how easy and convinient it is to build in this case. If i ever feel the need to change cases, it would most likely be a Lian Li case again.

I love my LianLancool 2 Mesh with my 6 Uni-Fans! Has Amazing air flow! Can see the need for a bigger case for a 3090 or some easier custom water cooling! But not an enough "upgrade" to get this new one. Would still recommend the 2 Mesh or 3 if you need an amazing air cooled case!

I really enjoy the new single-take style review format. Please keep going with this format!

I have the White RGB Lancool II Mesh, and I modded my case to address some of the small shortcomings that I felt this case had. The Lancool III touches up on so many things I felt the Lancool II Mesh needed.
Space for front x3 140mm fans. The case technically had the space for it, just not in the way they implemented it.
Un-meshed air-gap under the front panel, such a mystery why it was there. I 3d printed a spacer to block this off.
I used a door draft stopper to fill the gaps where the cables route through on the motherboard panel. The grommets do this in the III. The sliding mechanism is a nice touch.
More space for shroud fans, but also the ability to move it forward to better match with the front of the case. I removed the flat panel the II has, and replaced it with a mesh.
Removable HDD cages. I drilled out the rivets to the mounts for my II. There are so many places to put 2.5" already, I don't need them at all.
I assume the USB-C front panel cable is included this time?
The II doesn't fit a radiator at the top too very well, as there is not enough gap. The huge and removable panel at the top of the III is great.
Done away with the magnetic mesh, I just removed mine on the II.
The lever to open the side panels are so nice, I wouldn't need my makeshift pull tabs
140mm back exhaust fan, can never have too much when you can have 6 intake fans.
The ability to mount the front panel IO to the bottom, absolutely perfect for my current setup, as I have set my PC on a shelf.
You can open the cable management panels without flipping down the bottom mesh panel, that always annoyed me in the II.
The bottom two mesh panels are removable, I have bent the bottom panels or nearly have so many times while building and modding my II.
More air vents for exhaust in general.
The button releasable mounting for the front fan cage. I didn't like the small thumb screws that were never really thumb-able due to their positioning in the II, even though the cage was flexible and helpful as a whole.

This list just keeps going and going. They have nailed the details on all those little things that I wanted my II to have. The III has those and more.
I like my II, but I have to say I have case envy now. I enjoyed modding my case to touch up on things, but the III just goes further, and I am really considering this as an upgrade.

Glad to finally see case reviews back on this channel! :)

As a lancool II mesh owner THIS IS INCREDIBLY EXCITING, that being said its more of a reformation, not a revolution. Which is not bad by any means.

[InvetorXD]

the extra room in this case should come really handy
this case is amazing!

also nice to see a case review after a long time!

[ao_qd]

This case looks so damn amazing! They took all the innovative features from the past 5-6 years and put them in this case. That swappable front panel is especially cool! I would never have my front IO at the bottom, but still a cool idea for customization. I'm blown away at this price point, too, especially considering that they include 4 fans at the high end.

[Hickeroar]

Crazy how well thought-out this thing is. I don't know if/when I'll ever built myself another PC, but this came will be "it" if I ever do.

[gyurmagyuri]

So many improvements, it's so amazing to see manufacturers still listening to their customers

[J-Vill]

I run an all air cooled system in my Lian Lancool 2 Mesh with 9 Case fans, 6 of them Uni-Fans and my 3080 Asus TUF never goes over 65°C, definitely recommend!

[seydaneen]

love how easy the fan brackets are to work with in this one. also the cable covers in the back for that extra clean look are nice but I think I'd be willing to sacrifice those and the back glass for a cheaper price

[particularist]

Wow, I almost fell off my chair when I saw the Excel spreadsheet...thanks for making my day!

[swizzler]

Hope they can deliver the case in time because their last case releases were all over the place. I really liked the lancool two mesh.

[josephgreco]

Glad to see a case review, i miss seeing those on this channel, one suggestion is i would secure one more button on your shirt :)

[stanwang]

Wow! This seems like end game for the mid-tower segment. Excellent .

I ironically have had a first gen Lancool 2 for 2-3 years now, I've recently bought tons of parts to upgrade including a Hybrid 3090 Ti FTW3 that has a whopping 360mm rad and I was browsing eBay and found a brand new open box black Lancool 2 and bought it for $85 lol.... and now just pre-ordered this. I can understand OG people not feeling a need to upgrade from their Lancool 2's because IMO it's an imaculate case and will go down in the hall of fame IMO. I currently have a i7-8700k, 32gb TridentZ 4000mhz CL14, Hybrid 3080 FTW3 and a 280mm Capellix LCD cpu AIO with a total of 10 fans the layout and everything is fabulous and it stays very cool. The RGB strips for the Lancool 2 are the most gorgeous strips I've ever owned and I ended up buying two more along with a USB-C cable for the black one that in the mail haha. If you are in need of a Black or White original Lancool 2 in great like-new condition with accesories hit me up! I will sell one or the other! Can't wait for the lancool 3!
