Cooling options don't stop there, either. The Lian Li Lancool Mesh 205 can support radiators on the front or top panel - either 1 x 280mm radiator or 2 x 140mm fans. All in all, when it comes to your custom cooling configurations, the Lian Li Lancool 205 Mesh C provides plenty of options. Sporting a sleek white finish, the Lian Li Lancool 205 Mesh C Mid-Tower Case is as stylish as it is functional. Alongside the mesh front panel, this chassis features a tempered glass side panel, making this the perfect showcase for your high-end components. The integrated fans sport vivid ARGB LEDs which shine brilliantly through the mesh front panel. Keeping all your hard-earned hardware safe, the chassis is made from highly durable steel. The included fans are whisper quiet, too, and as an added bonus Lian Li includes a fan controller in the rear of the case so you don't even have to worry about running cables all around your motherboard as it's good enough for up to five fans, as well as five RGB cables from those fans. Lian Li consistently makes outstanding PC cases and the Lancool 205 Mesh is no exception. I am a little nervous about the long-term dust factor of having a mesh front and no traditional dust filter, but at the same time, it's incredible how much air it pulls through and how cool everything is inside. The Lancool 205 Mesh is a variation of Lian Li's existing Lancool 205, with the main difference being the introduction of a mesh panel on the front of the case. This improves airflow over the original dramatically, and the fine holes also seem to do a decent job at acting as a dust filter, too. In the space of a week of constant use, there's no sign of any significant dust intrusion into the case's interior.An update to the Lancool II Midi-Tower case, the Lancool 205 from Lian Li has a smaller form factor but retains the same impressive design. The Lancool 205 at a glance: The PSU shroud resides behind a removable side panel, which also hides a dedicated drive bay. Keeping the power supply separate from the rest of the components further helps regulate temperatures within the case. Additionally, the dedicated drive bay can hold up to 4 × 2.5” SSDs or 2 × 2.5” SSDs and 2 × 3.5” HDDs, granting you great flexibility when it comes to your chosen storage solution. Lancool Style With natural airflow, you might worry about dust taking root inside your gaming PC tower. Thanks to the comprehensive dust filters across the body of the Lian Li Lancool 205 Mesh, that worry is no more. Positioned on the top, front, and bottom, all the filters are removable, making them very easy to clean! For added convenience, the top filter is magnetic, making it exceptionally easy to detach and reinstall. Interior Design The Phanteks P350X doesn't have a full mesh front, but still provides excellent airflow and like the Lancool 205 Mesh, accepts an ATX motherboard and boasts plenty of space inside to build. It's a quality PC case and costs a little less than the Lancool 205 Mesh, though admittedly doesn't look as good and comes with fewer included fans. There are four drive mounts, cable routing holes everywhere you need them, and for the most part, the panels and fittings are all tool-free and easy to access. It’s a case that would compliment a high-end build in the hands of an experienced system builder. However, even for an affordable PC from a first-time PC builder, I think it’s going to offer something for everyone. Should I Buy One?

The Lian Li Lancool 205M Mesh includes several design features that make it an exceptional case for maintaining optimum temperatures. Firstly, there is the front mesh panel that allows large volumes of air to pass through unimpeded. To enhance airflow even further, this case features two pre-installed 1200RPM ARGB PWM 140mm fans behind this front panel. Alongside this, there are three more positions for 120mm fans including two at the top and one at the rear. Alternatively, the Lian Li Lancool 205M Mesh can support a 240mm radiator at the front and at the top of the chassis.

Overview

Even when cranking up the loads, heat dissipation is superb, with the rear exhaust fan never struggling and rarely feeling like it's actually warm air coming out. Maximum CPU temperatures under a full stress test only ever reached the low 70s Celsius (158F) and the fully open top did a great job at venting the heat. You could expect similar results using a blower-style GPU as well, and if you're air cooling the amount of air that the front 140mm fans pull through, this means you're going to have no issues cooling even a warm CPU.
