Lian Li Lancool II Review – The Ultimate Mid-Tower?

Complete System

Building my demo system inside the Lancool II was an absolute joy. You quickly appreciate the engineering that has gone into making this a truly brilliant PC case. Such as the motherboard mounting, as my MSI board was just too damn wide. Then I remembered, you can move the cable routing!

The panel to the right of the motherboard is designed for ATX. However, undo the two screws, flip it upside down and it now supports E-ATX. This way, the cable routing is right next to the motherboard in either configuration.

Then we have the fantastic RGB. Of course, most of the lighting is coming from our own hardware. However, the front panel RGB still throws a lot of light into the case too.

The cable routing options are superb though. There are cable channels just about everywhere. The only one I would like to add is one below the GPU to give that a shorter run, but that’s hardly a deal-breaker. Plus, we have a few more options anyway, which I’ll get to shortly.

Big CPU cooler? That’s not a problem. Even the massive Noctua NH-D15S fit with ease despite being enormous.

The same goes for our massive RTX 2070 from AORUS. There’s more than enough length for the largest gaming cards on the market. Plus, you have plenty of room for a good size radiator in the front. However, there’s plenty of airflow for a good air-cooled build too.

Then there is the staggering beauty of that front panel RGB. You can control it directly from your motherboard or RGB hub too. However, there’s a button on the front panel to cycle through colours and effects too should you need it.

With all the glass back in place, this really is a properly-well sorted out PC case. Of course, it gets EVEN BETTER!

Just look at that cable routing! Well, lack of it. It looks like a bomb went off behind the panels, but hey, you can’t see the crappy cable routing I did, because it’s hidden. How brilliant is that! Oh and yes, it gets even better still.

Oh and here’s the window back in place, but let’s keep going.
