PC case Lian Li Lancool LAN217X Midi Tower Black, Wood

The Lian Li Lancool LAN217X is a mid-tower PC case that combines wooden accents with a high‑airflow chassis. Available in black with dark walnut or white with light birch details, the LAN217X ships with five preinstalled fans (front, rear and bottom) and supports flexible PSU mounting and multiple fan/radiator configurations to suit varied system layouts.

Advantages

The LAN217X offers strong out‑of‑the‑box cooling with five installed fans, FDB front fans for quieter operation and a rear 140 mm fan for efficient exhaust. Its front panel pairs a perforated mesh with a wooden frame to balance airflow and natural aesthetics. Tool‑less fan mounts with rubber pads, removable top radiator bracket and magnetic dust filters simplify installation and maintenance. Dual PSU mounting modes and support for long GPUs (up to 380 mm) increase build flexibility and compatibility.

Suitable for

• Custom gaming or workstation builds requiring strong case airflow
• Builders who want a case with natural wood accents and tempered glass
• Systems needing flexible PSU placement or vertical GPU mounting
• Configurations using multiple 2.5" SSDs and a 3.5" HDD

How to use

Install the motherboard and components following standard PC building procedures, selecting either standard or rotated PSU orientation to optimize cable routing and cooling. The tool‑less fan mounts and removable screws on the bottom fans allow easy repositioning to favor CPU‑ or GPU‑directed airflow. If using vertical GPU mounting, rotate the PCIe slot bracket 90° and relocate the bottom fans under the PSU shroud for a cleaner appearance.

Recommendations

For best thermal performance, keep the front perforated mesh unobstructed and use the front FDB fans in their intended positions. If you prioritize GPU cooling, position bottom fans to direct fresh air toward the GPU and consider the rotated PSU mode to improve cable management and airflow paths.
