PC-kotelo Lian Li Lancool 216-X Midi Tower musta

The Lian Li LANCOOL 216-X is a mid-tower PC case designed for efficient airflow and flexible cooling configurations. It features continuous front-to-top mesh panels, a modular rear I/O and motherboard tray for air- or water-cooling optimization, and pre-installed fans (2 x 160 mm front, 1 x 140 mm rear). The case supports ATX, Micro-ATX, Mini-ITX and E-ATX (up to 280 mm wide with the grommet bar flipped), provides space for long and tall modern GPUs, and offers multiple storage and cable-management options.

Advantages

The LANCOOL 216-X delivers strong airflow through continuous mesh panels and includes large 160 mm ARGB front fans plus a 140 mm rear fan for immediate cooling. Its modular motherboard positions allow easy switching between air-cooling and water-cooling layouts, and the removable top radiator bracket simplifies component installation. Additional features such as a SATA-powered fan hub, optional ARGB control module, a pressure-seal plate for smaller top radiators, and compatibility with vertical GPU mounting add flexibility for different builds.

Suitable for

• Gaming PCs requiring high airflow and support for large GPUs (up to 392 mm length, 180 mm height in air-cooling mode)
• Air-cooled systems that benefit from large-diameter intake fans (2 x 160 mm front)
• Custom or AIO water-cooling builds needing top radiator clearance (63 mm gap when motherboard is set lower)
• Compact ATX, Micro-ATX, Mini-ITX or E-ATX (≤280 mm) systems with multiple storage drives

How to use

Choose the motherboard position based on your cooling preference: set the motherboard higher for air-cooling to allow wider fans above the PSU shroud, or lower for water-cooling to create 63 mm of top clearance for radiators and fan assemblies. Connect the included ARGB fans to a 5V 3-pin motherboard header for motherboard control or use the optional ARGB control accessory. Route cables into the second chamber through the provided grooves, secure bundles with the included Velcro straps and clips, and install storage on the dedicated mounts. If vertical GPU mounting is desired, install a compatible PCIe riser cable and rotate the PCIe expansion panel accordingly.

Recommendations

For balanced cooling and quieter operation, use the two 160 mm front fans as intake and the 140 mm rear fan as exhaust. If installing a top radiator smaller than 360 mm, ensure the seal plate is correctly positioned to prevent pressure leaks. Use the included SATA-powered fan hub to centralize ARGB and PWM fan power, and consider the optional magnetic dust filter for improved dust control.
