Case Lian Li LANCOOL 217 INF RGB Mid-Tower, Tempered Glass - Black

The Lian Li LANCOOL 217 INF RGB is a middle tower case aimed at modern ATX gaming and enthusiast configurations, where airflow and RGB visuals are important. You get a large internal volume with support for ATX, Micro ATX, and Extended ATX motherboards and tempered glass that showcases the hardware. The front features 2 x 170 mm ARGB fans that provide massive airflow and lighting, while the top has room for up to a 360 mm radiator for liquid cooling. In combination with support for graphics cards up to 380 mm and coolers up to 180 mm, this chassis comfortably accommodates even a quite serious build.

What You Get

From a fan perspective, you start with a ready setup: in the front 2 x 170 mm ARGB for strong front intake and in the back 1 x 140 mm PWM for exhaust, giving you decent baseline airflow right out of the box. Options for additional fans are generous – up to 3 x 120 / 2 x 140 mm on the top panel and up to 2 x 120 / 140 mm on the bottom, plus the possibility of 1 x 120 / 1 x 140 mm in the back if you want to add more. Support for a 360 mm radiator allows you to move to serious liquid cooling without worrying about fitment. The internal space is balanced – you have 2 x 2.5" bays for SSDs and 2 x 3.5" for larger drives, enough for a typical gaming or work build without turning it into a NAS. The front I/O panel offers 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2, 1 x USB-C, and HD Audio, which is convenient if you frequently connect peripherals and external devices from the front. The power supply is mounted at the bottom, supporting PSUs up to 220 mm, which is fine even for more powerful models, as long as you plan the cables well.

Who Is It Suitable For

This case is suitable if you plan a gaming or enthusiast build with a powerful graphics card, more serious cooling (including 360 mm liquid), and want to see through the tempered glass. It is also a good choice for someone who values high airflow and wants stable temperatures during long gaming sessions. If you are looking for a super-compact system or many drives for a server/NAS, the form factor and number of bays may seem limited to you.

The most sensible thing about the LANCOOL 217 INF RGB is the combination of serious airflow with the large 170 mm ARGB fans, spacious interior for high-end hardware, and the modern I/O panel with USB-C, without unnecessary complications.
