Lian Li High Airflow ATX PC Case, RGB Gaming Computer Case, Mesh Front Panel Mid-Tower Chassis w/ 3 ARGB PWM Fans Pre-Installed

This case is not the greatest case in the world. The magnetic filter on the top slides around too much. The side panels don't have the greatest fit tolerances I've ever seen on a case. The hard-drive bay in the bottom is virtually useless, because you can't run any significant number of power cables past them from the PSU to the rest of the computer. The cables running to the daughter board are delicate to the point where I was concerned about accidentally damaging them. There are a lot of individual screws, many of which I really wish were captive so you didn't have to worry about loosing/misplacing them. The metal outside panels are flimsy and a bit thin. There are no good dust-filters built into the system. But despite all these shortcomings, I'm very happy with this case. The fans are great, relatively quiet and with fancy lights that plug onto the RGB header on your motherboard. You've got a great selection of front IO ports, though most budget oriented motherboards out there that I've seen don't have a USB C header, making the inclusion of a USB C port for front IO a bit of a waste. I would have rather seen a 3rd non-USB C port, but the 2 that are there are certainly welcome. The air flow is great, keeping my GPU and CPU cool with only an additional CPU cooler needing to be installed (Ryzen 5700x and Radeon 6700xt). The case was shipped with good packing materials, making me optimistic that the glass panel would not be damaged in transit. The instructions aren't the best I've ever seen, but I was able to follow them without any great degree of trouble. You've got good Sata SSD mounts hidden between the motherboard panel and the outside non-glass panel. Cable management options are (hard-drive bay aside) excellent, with lots of intelligently placed gaps and clear routing lanes. It's well optimized, so the case doesn't have any huge dead zones of empty space, and as a result is more compact than you might expect from a desktop case. It supports a variety of configurations, and in a PC where you don't have a GPU that requires dedicated PCIE power cables, you might have the space for the hard drive bay in the bottom. For a budget case, you get a clear priority of functionality > aesthetics > build quality here, while not sacrificing too much to the point where it becomes a liability. If you're trying to save a bit of money on your case, I can certainly recommend this one.

The Lian Li Higher Flow ATX case is an excellent budget-friendly option for gaming, workstations, or everyday PCs. It offers fantastic airflow with plenty of fan space, clean and simple cable management, and a sturdy, well-designed build. For the price, it’s hard to beat, easy to build in, looks great, and delivers everything you need for a reliable, versatile PC case.

Whenever the parts shortage was going on, I had purchased a PC through a PC Builder (Cyberpower, don't recommend). The case I chose was a really terrible case, the cheapest they had because I had every intention of replacing it. As expected, it had basically no air flow, and caused my PC to overheat to the point of shutdown, no bluescreens. This case arrived and I could already tell it was a very nice quality. And for the price, I was pleasantly surprised. The front fans that come with the case are huge, and the back one seems like a great quality one even if it is the normal size. The front mesh panel lets plenty of air through, and I've been more than happy with its performance. Since switching to this case, my temps have remained lower, and I have yet to see the computer crash or otherwise throttle due to temperature, with the only change being the case itself. I'm more than happy with this purchase, and even put my brother-in-law's computer in the same one. Until I decide that Lian Li has made an even better case that I need, I think I'll continue to purchase and recommend this specific case to anyone who needs one.

I used this case for a recent gaming build for a friend. It looks really great with the glass side panel and installation was without issues. I will say that my older Lian Li cases are much nicer being that they used to make them from 100% Au. Now they have stamped steel in there but it's a sign of the times I suppose. Still, I would buy this again.

My last case was awful for air flow and this fixed all of those issues. Good build quality, easy to install parts with a straight-forward layout. The front ports work, which is nice for a change. Aesthetically I like the look and the included fan leds aren't visually obnoxious or loud, can always turn off the leds or adjust the speeds. Magnetized screens are easily removed for cleaning, though the top mounted fans were making a bit of noise/vibration so I had to wrap the screen "pegs" with rubber string to dampen it. Didn't have trouble fitting any components, feels like enough internal room but isn't an enormous case either. Doors can be a little finicky to line up but I've definitely encountered worse on different cases. Depending on price or deals available this is a case I'd recommend and may reuse for future builds.
