Lancool aren't lanboxes

They are Lian-Li made, but use steel construction rather than aluminium.

Oh cool! I just saw lan and thought lanbox,lol. I mean though, those look like the same layout as any other ATX average case, is the build quality that much better? How so? I just never saw the average Lian li's being any better than cheaper alternatives. I mean, the higher end ones I see some nice stuff, but the cheaper models, eh?

The panel fitment on my lian li surpasses any steel case I have owned, everything just seems well thought out, the PSU mounting system, simple to remove the front panel (To access the fan filter). Access through the removable top panel. Everything just fits nice. And my case is absolutely silent.

The cheap models do use thinner guage aluminium, but even so the same level of care goes into the design, and the anodised finish is flawless.

My only critiscism is that they aren't a high airflow type case, but I don't need or want that. Besides with some modding you can really help the airflow.

Take a look at the Lian-Li owners showcase thread when you get time, you may get some ideas of what people think of them.

Thanks for the insightful comments Coffee. That's what I was looking for, something well thought out; not biased or "because they're better" lol.

I'll head over there sometime when/if I get a chance.

Sounds like my old GTX 260 is treating you good!

AvgWhiteGuy · 1 Week Ago

That one is running strong too but the one in question is an evga. It's a monster folder for a 260.
