Lian-Li LANCOOL II Chassis is now at Overclockers UK

Those who prefer traditional air cooling will love this case, that’s because the LANCOOL II offers users the option of installing up to a total of eight fans. The front supports up to three 120 mm or two 140 mm fans, with the top of the case supporting two fans of up to 140 mm in diameter. Two 120 mm fans can be installed at the top of the PSU shroud and a 120 mm model can be attached to the rear of the case. Installed by Lian Li themselves, the case includes three 120 mm fans pre-installed: one in the front, one at the back and one at the top, supporting CPU coolers of up to 176 mm in height. The Alphacool II also features a removable slide-out bay to allow for a larger radiator in the front of the case, allowing the installation of a 360mm triple radiator.

STYLISH AND FUNCTIONAL DESIGN

The LANCOOL II has been designed from the ground up with an eye to cooling powerful hardware, offering multiple air inlets as a result: the otherwise smooth and sleek front cover is embedded with two 35 mm wide mesh strips along with an aluminium plaque that bears the manufacturer’s name. The rear, roof, and bottom of the case all include large air in- and outlets. The front and the roof are equipped with magnetic dust filters, and the dust filter underneath the power supply is located in a slide-out tray. As such all filters are removable and easily cleaned.

Yet the LANCOOL II has more to offer than just functionality, it is no slouch in the looks department either: the mesh openings in the side of the angular front help show off the integrated digitally addressable RGB lighting. Both side panels of the case consist of tempered glass. They are attached by hinges at the rear of the case and fold outwards.

Lian Li also designed the side doors to close in a smart manner: magnets! Both can be closed without the need for screws as a result. The design of the case means that you can easily hide any unwanted cables that would otherwise be on show.
