The only two places you need a screwdriver to access the case are removing the PSU shroud and the radiator bracket in the top. Access is tool-free, too, with thumbscrews used on everything from the side panels to the drive bays. All of the interior is painted white, even the bits you can't see, leaving for a striking finish. The construction is absolutely first-rate, and on the white one I have here there are no corners cut with the paint job. 280mm is the maximum the Lancool 205 Mesh supports either at the top or in the front. If you're planning to use a 360mm radiator, too, you're out of luck. It shouldn't move about, but there's still some definite chance of movement, so it would have been nice to have an additional screw to fix it in place at the other end as well. It's not a particularly hefty bracket, mind, and it does only fix in place with a single screw once slotted into position. Of particular note is the radiator bracket built into the top of the case, which simply unscrews and slides out, making it so much easier to fix your cooling solution in place. The front can take a pair of 140mm fans or a 280mm radiator, the back is good for a 120mm exhaust fan and in the top, there's also space for another pair of 140mm fans or 280mm radiator. The Lancool 205 Mesh takes up to an ATX motherboard and a whole bunch of cooling. If you don't want them, however, the entire thing can be removed leaving you with additional space to hide your power supply cables in. The right side panel is all metal and behind it you find your 2.5-inch SSD caddies, cable management points, and access to the 3.5-inch drive bays hidden just behind the front panel. Nothing fancy, but it's a seamless design integration that fits perfectly with the aesthetics of the case. It's held in by a single screw and simply slides out. The rest of that side is taken up by a PSU shroud that is integrated into the exterior of the case but is also removable for easy access to your power supply. The left side panel is all tempered glass, though only reaches about 75% of the way down the case. It's constructed entirely of steel, so it feels solid, but at the same time it isn't so heavy you'll need a concrete block to stand it on. In the space of a week of constant use, there's no sign of any significant dust intrusion into the case's interior.Īs a piece of design, other than that mesh front, it's a fairly standard affair, yet somehow still quite striking. 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. 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.
