Lian Li Lancool 216
The Lancool 216 is a beginner-tier airflow champion, shipping with dual 160mm front fans and supporting up to 360mm front, 360mm top, and 240mm bottom radiators, plus GPUs to 392mm. It's a strong-cooling value case. The main caveat is footprint: this is a large mid-tower, so it's a poor fit for minimal or space-constrained desks.

Form factors & standards — interchangeable across compatible builds, not a platform lock-in.
Compatibility
Built around ATX. Make sure the rest of your build uses the same platform before you buy — mismatched sockets, mounts or standards are the most common return reason. Check it in the builder →
Upgrade path
