Lian Li Lancool 207 - The best budget case of 2024

[@KitGuruTech]

UPDATE 01:03 - The Lancool 207 is available for pre-order at £74.99 from OCUK here: www.overclockers.co.uk/?query=lancool%2520207

[@rufusmctavish1164]

Really good price that. The white one is even the same price, thats unusual.

[@JonathanPilson-mu3rg]

Ah good update. Showed 90 in the video.

[@SimonBennett-fw6zq]

Price drop makes it so much more tempting

[@iminfinite8282]

yeah i wouldnt call that a BUDGET case, its about twice as expensive as the real BUDGET lineup...

[@ccayco]

I'm a fan of how many cases are coming with prebuilt gpu brackets. Just a little thing to make life a little simpler.

[@ShamilShamil-yj1tk]

I like how the fans at bottom are not blocked by the power supply, always annoys me how manufacturers never think of that

[@johnerikson2443]

Yes absolutely. 👍🏻

[@wherearemytesticles]

You could just switch the PSU and fan positions and it would have the same effect. But this way you are limited to only two front fans.

[@CatherineMitchell-br8dx]

Finally, a case that doesn't break the bank but still has high end features!! 😍 Love Lian Li!

[@rupshingparmar7418]

I like the thermal test section changing the door and disabling fans etc - nice idea well executed. thanks Kitguru

[@KitGuruTech]

Thanks, its good to hear you find that useful.

[@gayathridevi9520]

I like the side vents with mesh, quite subtle - nice they include some really good fans too - good airflow fans

[@ashokmahariya]

Thermal performance testing was good James, great results

[@SarahBytesBack-s4e]

Lian Li have nailed this one, love to see their work !!

[@amdforlife5591]

Fans included. Good cooling performance. Great looks. Well designed. £75. Job done 🍻

[@dreschaffhausen5693]

And they are some nice fans too

[@KitGuruTech]

Its a good price for sure

[@SMDZAKEERHUSSAIN-w8v]

easy to work with and looks fantastic, I like the modest tint too, some of the tints are too dark and hide your build inside which I dont like

[@Linuxdistro15-ih8ox]

a lot of detail guys, nicely done. Would be handy to have the system specs in the description. you normally do - someone forget?

[@KitGuruTech]

Yes, sorry, we have added it. nice spot ! (long week !)

[@Hetplayz99]

Installation and layout, build quality - great work Lian li

[@gdhgdhf6308]

The analysis section at the end was worth waiting for, cooling efficiency is really solid

[@KitGuruTech]

Thanks and yes

[@hothardwareforthewin-he4fz]

Wow and they actually worked out not to block the lower fans with a power supply. unlike many *cough corsair*

[@Hiralalsilu-qq6mh]

Thanks James, you are my favourite case reviewer on youtube by far !

[@KitGuruTech]

Wow thanks 🤩

[@AASIB77]

James, the best case reviewer on youtube - shame they didnt send you both cases to look at

[@KitGuruTech]

Hope it was useful anyway 👍🏻

[@SandipMurmu-fd8xg]

I love my Lian Li 011D, bought it after reading the reviews, thanks James !

[@KitGuruTech]

😊

[@Darknightsandwetdays-lb9ko]

great testing methodology Kitguru. Interesting to see how it performs in different situations.

[@KitGuruTech]

Glad you liked it!

[@sandipanholkar3369]

Shame you didnt get the white case man, that black one is nice but I like white look so much more special when they are built

[@KitGuruTech]

Agreed, the white one does look good. 😊

[@PCPro2017]

When discussing fan obstruction, the video was a white chassis. Maybe they got both but only featured black?

[@boltsandbraces6261]

nice job James. Liked the build too !

[@KitGuruTech]

Thanks

[@CarolineMorton-h3k]

James builds are great, and he does proper analysis too

[@KitGuruTech]

Thanks !

[@rowdy8913]

Hi James your reviews have gotten better over the last year and your english is easier to understand. As an american i find a lot of english dialects hard to understand

[@KitGuruTech]

Thats good to hear, my Yorkshire accent is probably one of the most difficult English accents to understand. I try to speak as clearly as possible but it doesnt always go to plan. 😊

[@Bellestronsse]

@@KitGuruTech Yorkshire accent is fantastic.

[@kommularaju1327]

Looks pretty good, fans are nice - cooling performance looks pretty solid too

[@abhijitdash]

Excellent review James as always. Thank you :)

[@KitGuruTech]

My pleasure!

[@lalsinghmavsker1028]

Great review guys ! covered all the bases there

[@KitGuruTech]

Thanks!

[@Itsameamario-ns3se]

Thanks jimmy boy. An in-depth bit of analysis as always

[@KitGuruTech]

No problem, give my best to Luigi

[@Shakar-k3e]

That is awesome, super review James

[@KitGuruTech]

Thank you kindly

[@tireetsidar5079]

Really good for the money , nice review James, always like your reviews

[@KitGuruTech]

Thanks, I'm glad you found it useful.

[@savban]

Thanks James, brilliant as always man

[@KitGuruTech]

Very welcome

[@Francioslusi-kg6cx]

Excellent review. Covered it well James. I just bought a montech however but good option.

[@KitGuruTech]

thanks!

[@HANUMANBHAKT770]

Great looking build james thank you

[@KitGuruTech]

I'm glad you like it. 👍

[@drewnewby]

Thanks James, very thorough. Now to just decide which color to do the first customer build with.

[@KitGuruTech]

You build PCs for a living? nice one

[@canarychrome7012]

I liked the testing. Some good ideas

[@KitGuruTech]

Thank you!

[@hailblue221]

awesome case just built in it!!!! 7600x3d 7900xt 360 aio

[@taomahNEGEV]

Where did you manage to get the 7600x3d?

[@alanvlog3442]

That is very very impressive and good value

[@ANSHU_PRO_GAMINGFF]

Nicely made, Wish they would have thought a better idea for the internal USB connector, seems a bit of an afterthought that one

[@DavidLeBon-qq9vr]

Good review Kitguru. Thanks 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@KitGuruTech]

No problem 👍

[@RajnishKumar-u4x]

It is a perfect. budget case - well done LL

[@mahafujvlog10]

I like Lian Li, had great success with them over the years

[@KitGuruTech]

Thinking about buying this one ?

[@georgelowrielowrie5428]

Nice, great seeing some value stuff!

[@jamesjessenden7838]

Yeah its been all super high end stuff recently.

[@RainbowSunset-uq2hs]

Great review James thank you 🎉

[@KitGuruTech]

My pleasure!

[@rufusmctavish1164]

Really well designed that. some issues like the uSB 3 header, but seems small in the grand scheme of things, nailed the price anyway. 2024 market is so expensive, this is a little jewel in the crown

[@SHADOWGAMER-ni8iv]

Looks great, the tint is just right too

[@KitGuruTech]

It’s light but effective. Yes.

[@surendrabanjara2636]

Briliant case, well impressed with that, good ideas inside too

[@KitGuruTech]

Glad you like it

[@BantiSabar-uj9mj]

Loved the build James - shame about the USB 3 header, found that with another Lian Li case too for some reason, seems a weird one to miss

[@lucifersheadscarf6988]

Very positive review and fair. Liked you found issues too and reported on them.

[@philipjfry628]

James is always firm but fair.

[@KitGuruTech]

thanks!

[@lovingthehardwarethisyea-py1xp]

Awesome for the money. Loved the psu location idea too

[@KitGuruTech]

Glad you liked it!

[@hendryroodt3100]

I have the lian li 215x and love it.big open space and the 200mm front fans bring in alot of air

[@theonlyredspecial]

What hardware are you running in it ?

[@Everychillitsjustlife-cz8zz]

It’s a better deal than most I’ve seen this year.

[@KitGuruTech]

It’s a good buy yes as we said.

[@joaoquintino5754]

Future proof(if gpus get bigger somehow) and for better temperatures specially for CPU, should I take the lancool 207 or the h6flow?

[@buyingastairwaytoheaven5252]

Lian li have always been top 3 cases in world. Never changed. 🏆

[@KitGuruTech]

You sound like a fan

[@geofftatesmate7748]

Looks really good for the money 😮

[@SarahBytesBack-s4e]

Especially with the price drop !!

[@catstrafficsign]

Would you prefer this case over the Phanteks XT Pro Ultra in terms of value?

[@UnitedAlgorit-el4hy]

Great thermal testing James, like how you have sections for doors and fans off etc. Not every populates cases with fans etc.

[@KitGuruTech]

Thanks!

[@theonlyredspecial]

Great review James 👌🏻

[@KitGuruTech]

Thanks! 👍

[@Krishnashinde-qq4du]

Great airflow case - very well designed and thought out - would be nicer in white than the black version you reviewed James

[@KitGuruTech]

Yeah it is available in white too 👍

[@pratap_7054]

Thanks - its a good case, amazing they include some good f ans with it too

[@DarwinBrookes-ss6on]

White one looks nicer on the webpages but good to see black cases for a change in a video

[@festerleech4952]

The black one has no detail in it whatsoever really dull case

[@saritamalik9948]

Id love to have seen the black and white side by side, the black is pretty good tbh

[@user-uv8qn1br8q]

Lian Li are known for their high end stuff, but this is very tasty indeed for the price. especially with (pretty good) fans included too.

[@omnivaskumar2221]

Great thermal performance - 6c is huge to me !

[@HRITIKFF-i5i]

Awesome case deserves to sell a lot

[@pixelrefresh348]

Yeah its a decent price.

[@NANIGAMING-j9x]

This is a great case, I would have loved to see the white beside the black one too

[@KitGuruTech]

I would like to see the white one too. 😊

[@EricDavidson-cx7bz]

Black one looks great. 👍🏻

[@KitGuruTech]

I like it. Some seem to prefer white

[@Jensabc321]

Will a 360 arctic liquid freezer 3 fit? Could be very tight with its 65mm Radiator

[@pixelrefresh348]

Quite a standard case really very gaming orientated not a bad price either.

[@Bellestronsse]

Its nothing special except maybe the location of the PSU.

[@likhithNaik-id1hn]

the internal design is excellent - not ideal for a heavy watercooled case but for the money its still quite capable

[@Juuythljgrrdwq]

This is my new case. Was thinking about nzxt h5 flow. But gonna go with this

[@KitGuruTech]

Let us know how you get on with it

[@nifftwatkins3135]

When using air cooling, which would be better -- a rear mounted 120mm exhaust fan, or top mounted exhaust fan(s)?

[@jewontheskidoo]

I'm using both, 2 on top 1 on back. Leave the third space towards the front intake fans empty

[@nagatopain6798]

I have lian li 206, should I upgrade to this lian li 207? Is it worth the upgrade

[@princeroy7002]

I like the fact you can connect cables easily to the PSU if you change the components, but I am not a fan of adapter cables for power supplies.

[@tanusreechatterjee6780]

You know they have been doing these a long time, the way they make the cases- always a lot of thought goes into the design and impliementation

[@KitGuruTech]

They are generally good yes.

[@dreschaffhausen5693]

Thats a really fancy PSU you've put in that

[@KitGuruTech]

And a difficult one to get in the UK.

[@jewontheskidoo]

@@KitGuruTech I looked everywhere for it in the US and couldn’t find it online from anyone besides resellers marketing way over retail. I opted for the Superflower Leadex VII GX ATX 3.0 instead which has been treating me well

[@PCPro2017]

Quick release panels are useful, but rare on a case that only costs £75. At that price, not sure you'll be the kind of builder who needs multiple radiator positions. Looks appealing. Anywhere you can see it near London?

[@Games_and_Tech]

Woud a arctic frezer iii 360mm fit in there?

[@KitGuruTech]

Good question. I'll try it an report back.

[@Games_and_Tech]

@@KitGuruTech I would appreciate it

[@Audiosan79]

That is the one question i've allways have regarding a case. Will the Arctic LF AIO fit. That would make or brake a case for me.

[@juniorthomas6404]

​@@KitGuruTechHave you tried it?

[@Itz_aryan_boys]

james is impressed ,thats enough for me. Where can you buy it?

[@KitGuruTech]

OCUK in the UK< other countries, just check your local etailers.

[@Iloveyoutube-oh4ug]

super,. really think thats such good value for the asking price.

[@iamahappybunny7640]

great case. Well done Lian li

[@4thofjuly-fk4oq]

thermally its certainly well thought out. not sure its the prettiest case, but at 75 dollars im willing to overlook that.

[@dimwillow7113]

Want a bigger version that supports ATX-E and 420 rad in the top.. maybe two 180 in front? Back connector support as well.

[@bacchuchowdhury3630]

I like the front power supply fitting, but I wonder if the extension cable is good enough quality to handle 1000 watts+

[@KitGuruTech]

Will be fine.

[@donkeysunited]

I imagine you could tape off or otherwise block that lower rear vent so that air is only coming in through the filtered sides.

[@napoficial7123]

Very Nice review 😃

[@KitGuruTech]

Thank you 😃

[@RitaDevi-yn7ti]

A james build for the weekend - time for a cuppa and cake ! Shame you didnt get the white version

[@KitGuruTech]

What cake?

[@Bellestronsse]

You mean time for a beer its Friday

[@bobsmithson8592]

Lian li should be a protected company ! Been using them since I was a kid. Many eons ago !

[@KitGuruTech]

Long history in this sector for sure

[@Haude_boy]

Lian Li rock - no other way to say it.

[@__alves_]

Just bought one for 69.90€ hopefully my PSU fits.

[@smith4235]

Its a good size - nice for ATX< big but not too big.

[@hoahoangxuan3466]

What app use to sync the front fans led? My 2 front fans in my lancool 207 doesn't have same rainbow effect as yours in the video 16:16

[@bomber.2879]

Do i need to put a exhaustion fan near the motherboard?

[@Uglier.]

imagine side swivel glass 😍😍

[@NasimAktar-yt8ri]

What happened to the cooling article you said you would do James ? Thermalright coolers are great wanted to get your take on them

[@KitGuruTech]

It's work in progress still.

[@odognum]

Lack of hard drive space stopped me from buying this case, going to have to go for the 216 instead.

[@AMerexican787]

How long is the CPU 8 pin power cable run for this case?

[@salmashaik2004]

no back connect mobo support. guess you need to move higher up the Lian Li stack for that. still it would have been possible I think with a little bit more work on chassis

[@NepaliMamata-m3s]

Weird about the USB 3 connector and the pressure - you would think that would have been found out during R&amp;D

[@juniorthomas6404]

Anyone knows if the Arctic Liquid Freezer III will fit top mounted in the case?

[@niladrisarkar1472]

Can I use a non module psu in this case?

[@scalarmotion]

Hey Kitguru, I previously saw the Gamdias Athena M3 in the Computex(?) coverage here and thought it looked interesting. Apparently they officially released it in August - any chance of a review?

[@Iloveyoutube-oh4ug]

id like to see that too

[@KitGuruTech]

Hey, thanks for reaching out - we'll see what we can do!

[@Edgar-u8v9m]

Which is better, the 207 or the 217
