Full details
The Lian Li Lancool 217 is a high-performance mid-tower PC case designed for builders who prioritize thermal efficiency without sacrificing aesthetic elegance, featuring real walnut wood accents and a versatile modular internal layout. While it offers industry-leading cooling potential and native support for back-connect motherboards, its relatively large footprint may require extra desk or floor space compared to more compact mid-tower alternatives.

How do I use the two power buttons?
The case features both a top-mounted and front-mounted power button, allowing you to choose the most ergonomic position based on whether the PC is placed on a desk or the floor.
What is the maximum CPU cooler height supported?

Is the wood panel real?

Are the fans included in the box?

Troubleshooting
Case fans are noisy or vibrating
Ensure all fan rubber anti-vibration mounts are properly seated and that the fan screws are tightened to the correct tension.
Insufficient space for back-connect cables
Verify that the HDD cage behind the motherboard tray has been removed, as this provides the necessary clearance for back-connect motherboard headers.
Airflow seems restricted
Check the magnetic dust filters for debris buildup and ensure no cables are obstructing the front or bottom intake fans.
