    Fun fact: The machine screws on that panel you replaced @ 8:03 have a hex head that's the same shape as most interchangeable screwdriver sockets.
    Meaning you could have socketed on the empty screwdriver.
    Particularly useful for stubborn screws where the Phillips bit wants to cam out constantly.

    I purchased the black version of the 216 and it has been amazing to build in and work on. it looks great and my GPU has definitely benefitted from this upgrade. I was playing games yesterday and the temps only maxed out at 65 degrees. Those front fans have been amazing in terms of air entering the case. I could not be happier with how it looks and how it is assembled. Thank you for making this case video so I knew what to buy.

Also I turned up my fan curve so the fans have more power (even though the system was already staying cool) so depending on your cooling system you can get away with lower fan speeds and made minimal noise. for reference I'm using an i7 11700k and its known to produce heat

    What I like a lot about this case is that they addressed most of the problems with the Lancool II, some of which I gave them feedback about when I built my PC in that case. It took several minutes of wiggling and wedging in order to get the HDD tray out of the bottom of that case, and they fixed that. The front I/O had an exposed PCB that they've now hidden. They also redesigned the cable shrouds in the back so they won't block cable routing along the edge of the case.

      Just this week I was split between the 216 and the Fractal Torrent Compact. Ultimately went with the more expensive Fractal one and the seemingly superior build quality and just outright monster cooling performances make me not regret the expense but considering how cheap the 216 is I don't think there's a clear winner there. Either let your budget or your aesthetic preferences choose for you.
      I'd also say : air cooling, go Torrent. Water cooling, 216.
      Cable management on the Torrent Compact is tight BUT well executed (quality velcro, rails, zip ties, ...)

    Nice review! When I decided to build a system about a year and a half ago, I originally wanted a Lian Li Lancool 215... but another customer grabbed the last one in stock as I was headed back to get it... So, I ended up getting the Lancool II Mesh Performance case instead. I has been a wonderful case, with great airflow and was easy to build in, just a bit on the bigger side. I like that they are continuing to build quality cases with attention to building ease and air flow. (and I am still using the Vetroo V5 (lapped/sanded) to cool my 5900x. It seems to do a good job as long as the CPU stays below 170 watts for prolonged periods of time. (i run a 4500mhz all core OC at 2.7 volts and never have temp issues in a 25c to 26c room even doing 30 to 60 minute long video rendering). I bought t V5 thinking I would use it until I saved up for a better AIO...but, I have never needed it, unless I was running benchmarks ... probably could have scored better on Timespy etc with an AIO, but got into the top of the charts at the time for stock or air cooled CPUs based on my CPU/GPU with a $25 cooler, it was a wonderful tip you gave and is still working well. I rarely see temps go above 60c to 65c when gaming (total temp - so mostly under 30c to 40c above ambient while gaming for hours). Thanks for the good work and great reviews.

    Still using the Lancool II Mesh, Lian Li did so well with it even though this looks amazing I'm not sure I'd upgrade to it just yet. Unless the hotswap HDD back plate option in Mesh will work on the HDD cage in this box, then i"d really consider it just for the new front designed fans and controller option. Lian lI for me has really been the go to no brainer case choice with their Lancool series.

      I've been using Lian Li cases for 20+ years now. Compared to Corsair, NZXT, etc., their cases just feel the most practical without being cheap or boring. I've been using the Lancool II Mesh for the past two years, and it's a great case. Easy to build in, looks great, feels solid, easy to keep clean, and you can usually get one for a little over $100 (although Microcenter was selling the RGB version with three 120mm fans for something like $75 a couple of months ago). It's still my recommended case for anyone looking for a new one.

    The underrated AL600, however, sells at 99-110$ but on the Vetroo site goes for 170$ with an included 360mm AIO. I hope to see it reviewed so I know if it's too good to be true.

    When testing if GPUs will fit, esp 4xxx ones, can we start seeing how much space there is to accomodate the 12vHPWR cable, and more importantly, how much space there is to easily manage bending of said cable. Most cases now fit long GPUs (so front of case to back), and most people dont run that much more in the spare PCIe slots so top to bottom thickness isnt really an issue, but for me the biggest problem is how wide (so mobo to side panel) the GPUs are. I know that my OG 011 Dynamic has problems with certain GPUs already, so I think it would be good to show, or at least comment upon. Its really the only fitment issue that most builds have now.

      "improved greatly in recent times." -- I disagree. They used to _only_ make all-aluminum cases that were lightweight and very high quality. Now, they moved manufacturing from Taiwan to China and stopped making aluminum cases. They use heavy, cheap steel now. They still make nice cases, but they are far from the "brushed aluminum works of art" they were known for.

    Really like this case. I've been looking for a case with front mounted USBs as it sits inside a desk and most cases now a days have top mounted controls which is pretty much useless for cabinet installs (fine if you are putting the case on your desk ~ I guess but I hate the fact that if I want to plug in a stick or drive I have to stand up to plug it in).

    I’m currently in the middle of a rebuild now. Just bought the 13600k. My old case does not fit big air coolers or even a 240mm aio cooler. I love the simplistic look of the black version of this case. And how modular it is. Might just order this on Friday.

    Lian Li strikes me as one of (if not THE) best case manufacturer right now.
    Solid budget options without unnecessarily cut corners with the 215/216 and the Lancool 2 which is still extremely viable.
    And really good "enthusiast" options with really good flavoring with the optics-focused O11D family and the ridiculously mechanics-focused Lancool 3. Just solid stuff.

    Over-spending on a case is a pleasure. I didn't need to spend so much on my last three cases but I used each case through three builds over at least four or five years. I find the case to be an important part of the build, and personally I love a large mid tower or a full tower for all the interior space. They are a pleasure to build in, look amazing and can handle any upgrade. By all means, if you can afford it over-spend on your case.

    Upgraded from a Lian Li Lancool PC-K58 to a Fractal Define 7 when doing a full system build a week ago. The Lian Li is still in great condition after 13 years and several rebuilds in it. It even fit my Sapphire Pulse 6800 along with 6 3.5" HDDs. The Fractal Define 7 has an impressive amount of configurability but I'm a bit wary about how durable it will be given how many thin pieces of metal, fiddly plastic parts and small screws that can get stripped there are when moving things around.
    Anyway, Lian Li impressed me with that case which only costed me 65USD back in the day and I would have stuck with their brand if they still made cases that allowed for a lot of 3.5" HDDs.
