This is a great looking chassis.

You ain't kiddin. If it hadn't been for the fact that i just completely overhauled my computer like 2-3 weeks ago to upgrade to a Ryzen 7 3700X, I'd have probably tried to get this case instead of the Lancool 2. Not saying the Lancool 2 is bad in its own right.... though it does have a few tiny quirks.

It is nice looking.....but judging from the pictures, airflow was an afterthought...... What's the point of 3 intake fans, if there's a bunch of plastic blocking them?....

this should take the crown for the worst airflow in its segment. Those front intakes will be totally choked. When we PC case makers learn that mesh is better, I went from an old Fractal Define S2 to a Fractal Meshify S2 and the difference in temps was pretty dramatic for all major components. Keep those closed off case designs for the low end smaller cases where generally speaking lower end hardware in used, meaning lower temps by default.

It also bares a striking resemblance to the Phanteks P400.....with minor alterations....

The RGB LEDs. 😉 I could imagine this case would probably be pretty good if it had a fine mesh front instead of this glass garbage. Alas, it doesn't seem to be an option.

yea it needs a mesh front panel big time. all these closed off front panels just do nothing but close off airflow and keep temps high but at least you can make your PC look like a vomit coloured rainbow.
