Lian-Li Lancool One Digital PC Case Review

Interior

There’s a huge amount of space on the interior. This is good news for those who want to install extra-long GPUs or any other expansion cards. It should also mean there’s room to spare up front for thicker radiator designs too. A large cut-out behind the motherboard will help with CPU cooler mounting, and there are loads of cable routing options in here too.

PSU Shroud

There’s a full-length PSU shroud in the bottom of the chassis. That’ll do nicely for hiding all your cables out of the way. However, there’s also a couple of HDD mounts on the top, as well as plenty of cable routing holes towards the back. Well done Lian-Li, most brands forget to leave a hole for the front panel audio cables.

A small cutaway towards the back, which will help ensure you can get your screw driver to the expansion slots. It’s a minor detail, but it shows they paid attention while designing it.

Cooling

There are two Lian-Li branded fans pre-installed in the Lancool One. There’s a 120mm in the rear, which is perfect for the exhaust.

And there’s one more in the front, mounted nice and low to pull in cool air.

Of course, the front will support 120/140mm fans, or full-height radiators if you wanted to throw in an AIO or custom loop configuration.

Behind the Motherboard

There’s a decent amount of cable routing space behind the motherboard, although I think a little more would be nice. Of course, with the PSU shroud, you can easily hide excess cables out of the way, so it’s hardly an issue.

There’s a tiny PCB which controls the front panel RGB. It’s powered by a Molex (come on, make it SATA, this isn’t 1998). Of course, you can use your motherboard 5v RGB header too if you desire.

Even more cable routing holes at the top, ensuring you can keep cable trail to an absolute minimum throughout.

Storage

Two SSD mounts are lurking behind the motherboard, giving us four in total with the two on the PSU shroud.

There’s two more 3.5″ HDD bays below the PSU shroud too, should you need them.

There’s room for a truly huge PSU down here also, as well as all your excess cables.

Finally, we have the front panel. Pull it away, and you’ll find a huge dust filter behind it. There’s also a light box (in white) which features loads of addressable RGB lights.
