#lianli #pcbuild #asuspcdiy - In what has to be one of the highly anticipated launches following Computex 2024, Lian Li have finally launched the Lancool 217! An Airflow masterpiece with some tasteful wood accents. Let's talk about that...
Timecodes, though I don't recommend skipping for visual narrative reasons! (Quality headphones or speakers recommended throughout)
00:00 - Intro / Throwback
00:38 - A Lancool 217 Appears
01:33 - Lancool 217 Overview
03:11 - Build Hardware
03:44 - Motherboard Assembly
05:00 - Lancool 217 Assembly
06:34 - The Cable Master Returns
07:20 - In Goes The GPU
08:17 - Noise Levels
08:38 - Airflow Visualization
09:06 - Cinematics & Desk Setup
11:49 - Coffee Thanks & Bloopers
Alongside popular cases such as the O11 Dynamic, Lian Li have been making some incredible airflow focussed cases over the last few years. The Lancool 217 hits in the same way that the Lancool III did back in 2022. Loads of airflow, intuitive and unique internal designs with a very 'Lian Li' overall style.
The Lancool 217's strength comes with those two huge 170mm x 30mm front intake fans. When paired up with the also included two 120mm reversed bottom and single 140mm exhaust fan, there are few other cases at this price point which can beat this in terms of raw airflow and cooling performance.
The wood accents Lian Li opted to use with the Lancool 217 feels a little underwhelming. Not because the wood is poor quality, more the uniformity of it. I would've loved to see the wood accents somehow implemented across the bottom section of the case to bring more symmetry. However, when the RGB inside is themed orange this becomes less of a problem.

If there's one thing we can count on Lian Li for, it's their ability to push new innovations whilst fulfilling the needs of the PC DIY Community. With wood and airflow in mind, the Lancool 217 ticks all the right boxes for those seeking only the highest cooling performance with solid build construction too.
