About this deal

The two bottom side panels provide sufficient airflow to efficiently cool the GPU when fans are installed above the PSU shroud. With the Lancool III as your PC chassis, you’ll have plenty of scope when it comes to component choices. To begin with, this case can fit motherboards ranging from Mini-ITX all the way to E-ATX boards (under 280mm wide). Furthermore, this PC case is able to house even the largest graphics cards easily, with 8 expansion slots provided and 420mm of clearance. You’ll also be able to install a powerful PSU to power all your components, as Lian Li has provided a dedicated chamber with 220mm of clearance for an ATX power supply.

The two removable 4mm tempered glass panels located on each side of the case can be opened by pulling the front aluminum handle. With a spacious interior, the Lancool III is able to accommodate some of the largest components that are available. For the foundation of your next PC, you can opt for a whopping E-ATX motherboard, and if you choose to air cool your CPU, you can easily fit a tower cooler inside thanks to having 185mm of clearance. Moving on to the star of any PC when it comes to gaming or workflow, the GPU. With 420mm of clearance, the Lancool III is able to accommodate even the longest of long boi graphics cards, with room to spare.We’ve updated our testing hardware to use Intel’s 12 Gen “Alder Lake” platform, which has shaken up the desktop landscape (and taken prominent spots on our best CPUs for gaming list). We’re now using a Core i7-12700KF, which is being cooled by a Noctua U12s air cooler. Our graphics card is a Gigabyte RTX 3070 Ti Gaming OC. And the best view - the front side view. This build really shows how stealthy one can be, especially when RGB is not present. Final Thoughts Our finished PC build almost vanished inside the spacious Lian Li Lancool III and the cables were neatly hidden away and out of sight. Testing The side-mounted SSD trays located inside the right PSU shroud panel can support up to 3 x 2.5” SSDs or can be removed to improve airflow. Note that the PSU shroud itself is not adjustable so the presence of the power supply (which could be an SFX unit) doesn't affect accessibility to the motherboard or other components.

The front IO is removable, and can be placed to be oriented at the top or the bottom of the case. Two screws makes the change easy work. Lian Li kindly sent us the white RGB version of this case for us to play around with and take a look at. It’s a hefty design that out of the box took us by surprise. As we mentioned before, the right side of this case is not hidden due to the use of a tempered glass panel, so cleaning up your cables is almost a requirement. Personally, I’m not a fan of cable management, but Lian Li have made this so much easier with their cable management system. Would have been better if they made the side panel out of those covers, opened out like fancy car doors from the middle - or had optional replacements to slap in side-exhaust for even more radiator placement options I like the rubber grommet + thumbscrew mounting method for mech drives - anti vibration is a big deal, and it makes hotswap easy while people not using spinning rust get to keep those parts out of the case

Small tower with big airflow, the O11 AIR MINI provides modular design for ATX, M-ATX or ITX motherboards. Being all about the air, O11 AIR MINI has a spacious interior to accommodate multiple confirgurations of fan and radiator setups to maximize the airflow. A fine mesh design has been implemented at the front, top, and both bottom side panels of the LANCOOL III. To mark the occasion, I bought strimers to replace my old extensions. The 8 pins were easy to install on a founders edition 3080 TI, by simply unclipping the clips and placing the LED cover over the GPU (12pin -2x 8pin adapter). No sweat. The LANCOOL III is optimized for water-cooling and high-end thermal solutions. A maximum of 10 × 120mm fans or a large 420mm radiator can be mounted in the main chamber. DeathtoGnomesOwning the first Lancool K62, this is a huge improvement over that, it looks better than that one too.Id gladly take a K62, CM HAF, Rosewill Thor/Aerocool X Predator

I like this case MUCH better than the Lancool 2, for the sake of simply appearances. The lancool 3 gives the ability for a uniform 3x fans on top and bottom for a uniform look, as opposed to the lancool 2 which only gave 2 fans for the top and bottom which gave an asymmetrical appearance. There was a nice attention to detail to allow the SL fans RGB to be viewed from the front.As the second chamber located on the right side is visible, great consideration has been given to cable management. The LANCOOL III features an upgraded solution to ensure neat cable routing with toolless magnetic cable cover doors, and a well-organized layout for hubs and cables. And that's exactly what we're on a mission to achieve, so that more people than ever before can build or upgrade their next gaming PC build. If you are using your PC as a creative workstation, the Lancool III can house four 3.5" HDDs and eight 2.5" SSDs, or twelve 2.5" SSDs, for all your storage needs. This is done by using a smart combination of detachable panels in the PSU compartment, modular drive bays, three mounting points above the PSU compartment, and two more mounting points behind the motherboard. Lian Li Lancool III Full Tower Case Specifications: Colour The case is big, which is a given considering the expansive front and top fan and radiator support. And with big(ger) cases, they lean more towards custom liquid builds - not like custom liquid doesn't work in smaller cases(I know they do). One of the great parts about this case is the aforementioned included fans. If you’ve chosen the RGB or non-RGB model you still get four included 140mm PWM fans which are a nice bonus. Position
