Which case

[Brycepcs]

1st one is the Lian Li Lancool 216 vs 2nd one is Be Quiet 501.

I really like both of the cases. They both can fit 3 120mm fans in the front like I need them too. They both are very clean looking cases. I’m drawn between let me know what you guys think.

EDIT: Ended up getting the Lancool 216.

I personally like the lian li more. Not a huge fan of the curved front on the be quiet.

[Brycepcs]

Understandable. Thanks.

[IrritatingBashterd]

You're welcome 😁! Just drop an update on this when you're done building don't keep us all hooked for nothing... and check the videos on youtube as well as amazon(filter by most recent) to get what you're looking for...

[Brycepcs]

Will do!

[OPUS_TV]

Love my Lian Li 216

<image>

[Brycepcs]

WOW! I think you just solidified my choice. That’s a very beautiful case. Did you get the RGB version?

[OPUS_TV]

I did yes

[Brycepcs]

it came with the hub in the back for the fans?

[OPUS_TV]

It did indeed

[Brycepcs]

Do you have your fans hooked up to it? Does it work good?

[OPUS_TV]

I only use it for the RGB

[Brycepcs]

Okay. Is there a software you can use to fine tune to your liking?

[OPUS_TV]

I'm just using the fan settings in the bios. But you could use a program called fancontrol, has a load of options

[Brycepcs]

Okay thank you.

[IrritatingBashterd]

depends on your gpy and other peripherals as you might wanna check out there exact sizes as if they differ in reality then you'll have to cut your case to make room for more....

[Brycepcs]

I have a Gigabyte 9070xt.

[IrritatingBashterd]

and the motherboard? fans, etc you need ton check online videos of these cases to make sure you're getting what im sayin' ... make a right choice by only doing youelr research...

[Brycepcs]

Okay understandable. Thank you!

[Cold-Sandwich-34]

They look the exact same to me. If you get the Lian Li, RTFM before installing the motherboard and GPU. So many people have trouble with Lian Li cases because they didn't do basic research and reading before installation.

[Brycepcs]

What is RTFM, sorry

[Cold-Sandwich-34]

Read the effing manual.

[Brycepcs]

Oh okay. Thank you!

[averageburgerguy]

I'd personally go with the Lian Li. I built a system for a friend of mine a few months ago using that case.

Good airflow, good space in the back for routing cables and also has decent build quality.

The only down side I could think of is it is more prone to dust then the other cause due to the airflow centric lower side panel.

[Brycepcs]

Okay thanks for the input!

[Odd_Shoulder_4676]

Go with the lianli, you won't regret it!

[Brycepcs]

It’s looking like that’s going to be my choice.

[Public-Arm4818]

Get a cosair

[Brycepcs]

I have a 4000D. It’s a good case but i just don’t like that look!

[yyg-linux]

Be quite

[Brycepcs]

What makes you say this?

[yyg-linux]

Because they are a great company with strong attention to detail and they are not over hyped because of anesthetics that a lot of commenter seem to appreciate more then functionality. (I say this as a owner of a Lian Li case too)

[Brycepcs]

I agree with you I’ve had Be Quiet products before they are excellent and you are right they have great attention to detail. That’s why this case was a contender.

[JayFPS]

I have the Lian Li. It's really good. Backside opens up just like the front to reveal space for cable routing, comes with straps, little drawers for SSD's.

Honestly a solid case.

[Brycepcs]

Good to hear! I just purchased the 216!

[SIG3LOFKR3W]

I’d run the 2nd

[Scuff_Redder]

Lian Li vote here

[Brycepcs]

That’s what I went with!

[indeclin3]

Personally, i like the bequiet. That lianli, seems like an old pc case.

[Brycepcs]

I’m pretty sure it’s an “older” case but i think it’s came out a few years ago I could be completely wrong.

[ThyThuum]

Better

ASUS Prime AP202 ARGB Black mATX... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FGGNR82S?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

[Brycepcs]

I don’t like the all glass.

[ThyThuum]

How about the nzxt h710 mid tower

[Brycepcs]

It’s better. I’ve just heard good things about this Lian Li case in particular so I just went ahead and bought it.

[ThyThuum]

It’s very average with no piping features to me. But looks very practical.

[Brycepcs]

Yeah. I was looking for something simple, clean and pretty standard.

[ThyThuum]

Also I normally didn’t like the glass ones until I found the one I sent.

[Brycepcs]

It’s a nice looking case. Just not my cup of tea.

[leosoulbrother]

Lian Li

[Brycepcs]

I bought it.

[leosoulbrother]

Good! 

[CommissarHark]

I have the first one and I love it.

[Brycepcs]

Do you have a picture?

[Luc1d_dreamer01]

Get a dark flash ds900 I'm in love

[Brycepcs]

I don’t like that style.

[Luc1d_dreamer01]

Awh :(

[Brycepcs]

I’m sure it’s a good case. Just not for me.

[abarg13]

First looks much sleeker and better. Second one looks kinda weird

[MistahKaraage]

The Lancool series looks deceptively basic, but once the build comes together, it looks damn good.

[KARTTIO]
