Computex is always the time of year when we see some interesting new case designs, and what caught my eye this year was a new case by Lian Li, specifically the Lancool 4.
Lian Lian, a known leader in the PC case space, introduced me to the new case and explained the thought process behind the new intuitive design. The glaring head-turner here is that Lian Li has cut massive holes into the front panel of the case, which is tempered glass, and placed three intake fans.
Popular Now: $400 GTA 6 collector's edition comes with fake coke spoon and razorblade, but no actual gameI asked Lian Li about this, and the company said the idea was to enable buyers to enjoy the three glass panels that offer a panoramic view of the case, but also provide a unique way to include three fans with the case to separate the Lancool 4 from other competition on the market.
It certainly has separated it, as the Lancool 4, with its three pre-installed 140mm intake fans, makes for an extremely interesting, intuitive design language. Notably, the entire front panel can be removed by easily pulling it off. Additionally, the Lancool 4 comes with support for vertical PSU mounting, enabling the bottom chamber to have more space for air circulation, which impacts GPU cooling. The Lancool 4 is scheduled to become available in October 2025 for $129.99.
