LANCOOL II Mesh C Performance: Mid-Tower for Air and Water Cooling

With the LANCOOL II Mesh C Performance Lian Li gives this mid-tower series a facelift and equips it with USB 3.1 type C port at the I/O panel. The mid-tower still impresses with its chic design and innovative details. It comes with a large mesh surface at the front for optimized airflow and improved cooling performance. The basis of the LANCOOL II Mesh C Performance is a sturdy steel construction with a completely removable front cover and swivel side panels made of tempered glass and steel. Its interior offers space for dual and even triple radiators, up to nine drives and other powerful pieces of hardware.

Those who prefer traditional air cooling will love this case, that's because the LANCOOL II Mesh C Performance offers users the option of installing up to a total of eight fans. The front supports up to three 120 or two 140mm fans, with the top supporting two fans up to 140mm in size. Two 120mm fans can be installed on top of the PSU shroud and a 120mm model can be attached to the rear wall of the case. Installed by Lian Li themselves, the case includes two 140mm PWM fans pre-installed in the front and one 120mm PWM fan pre-installed in the rear of the case. CPU coolers can be up to 176mm tall.

Lian Li also took the installation of all-in-one and custom water cooling solutions into consideration: the front allows for a 360mm triple radiator or a 280mm dual radiator. A removable slide-out bay makes installation much easier. This can be mounted in two differing ways, allowing up to 110mm of space for radiators and fans or for increasing the space available to fans with a slimmer radiator from the front cover. The top allows for a 240mm radiator to be installed. Up to 65mm of space (depth) is available.

Appealing and Functional Design

The LANCOOL II Mesh C Performance has been specifically optimized for cooling high-performance hardware and offers numerous air intakes: The formerly smooth front cover of the case now consists almost entirely of mesh. Its lower edge is decorated with an aluminium badge that shows the manufacturer's logo. The rear and bottom are equipped with generous ventilation openings. The top is equipped with a magnetic dust filter and the dust filter underneath the power supply is located in a slide-out tray. As such all filters are removable and easily cleaned.

The LANCOOL II Mesh C Performance has a lot to offer both functionally and visually: The side panels are two-piece design: the two upper side walls are made of tempered glass mounted on steel frames. They are attached to hinges on the back of the case and fold outwards. Lian Li also designed the side doors to close magnetically! Both can be closed without the need for screws as a result. The design of the case means that users will enjoy being able to minimize the amount of unsightly wires and cables on show.

The lower side panels cover the area below the PSU shroud are made of sheet steel and fold down. The lower left side panel of the LANCOOL II Mesh C Performance is an air-permeable mesh surface. Additional cable covers on the back of the motherboard tray ensure that most cables remain hidden from the prying eye.

Space for Components and Drives

The black interior provides plenty of space for powerful hardware, such as E-ATX motherboards up to a width of 280 millimetres and high-performance gaming graphics cards up to 384 millimetres in length. The LANCOOL II Mesh C Performance can accommodate a total of nine drives.

Two 2.5-inch SSDs can be mounted on individual carriers on the back of the motherboard tray. Two additional 2.5-inch drives can be mounted to the inside of the lower right side panel, and two 2.5-inch drives can be mounted on the two removable covers that are part of the PSU shroud and occupy the bottom fan positions. Underneath the power supply cover of the LANCOOL II Mesh C Performance there is a sliding drive cage for three 3.5- or 2.5-inch drives and its position can be adjusted to allow more space for the radiator or the power supply. An ATX power supply unit measuring up to 210 millimetres will fit the case.

The I/O panel of the LANCOOL II Mesh C Performance provides a USB 3.1 Type-C and two USB 3.0 Type-A connectors and a 4-pole 3.5mm jack for headsets. In addition to power and reset buttons, the controls also includes a slider control for the fans which allows for regulating the speed of up to six PWM-controlled fans. The socket for a USB-C port is also prepared. The corresponding connection cable with a USB 3.1 Type-C socket can be purchased separately (article no.: ZUUS-402).
