We're continuing to add case benchmarks to our review charts! The Lian Li Lancool 207 is up for review today, a new ATX case for under $100. It's compact, but still ATX. The Lancool 207 is fully focused on thermal performance at the price, taking a number of key steps to improve airflow and thermals at the expense of some trade-offs for cable management, dust management, and ease of installation. The Lancool 207 follows Lian Li's 216 and 215 cases previously, and we've added the 216 to the charts for a comparison. We'll also look at less expensive cases, like the SilverStone 515XR and Fractal Pop Air, and more expensive cases, like the Fractal Torrent, North, and the Antec Flux Pro.
Same fans, every case methodology: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVkAXSJeKKM
We'll be adding even more cases as we go!

While this isn’t a sale I wanted to share this vid here as the Lancool 217 is currently the top competitor for both thermals and price!
Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP):
$80 USD / ~$110 CAD (Before shipping and tax)
(the 110 is an approximate as the import/duty fees will create a price difference)
