The four-fan P400A Digital, the one which we reviewed highly last year, is currently more in the $80-$90 range in the stores where it’s actually in stock. The nickname comes from the 215’s airflow-focused design at a target price of $70, which directly competes with the two-fan P400A, currently $71 on Amazon and Newegg. The design was made public back in July, but some (understandable) production delays have prevented it from hitting the market until now, with preorders currently open for an October 12th release date. We’ve been very interested in this design since we first saw it during a visit to Lian Li’s headquarters back in March, when they showed us around several of the factories they work with. Today, we’re reviewing Lian Li’s Lancool 215, internally nicknamed the “P400A killer” despite a design that visually takes more inspiration from Cooler Master’s H500-whatever cases, as we’ve seen some other cases do recently. It’s been busy here, but we finally have a brief window to talk about something other than GPUs. The target audience for this piece is either people returning to PC building for the first time in a while - those who might be out of the loop - or people who haven’t had time to watch or read every single one of our case reviews over the past year. We’ll embed a few charts occasionally, but to get the full charts, you’ll want to check the individual case reviews for each enclosure. This does not influence our decision to choose one case over another - we’re choosing based on our empirical testing data from the last year or so. We often earn a commission from the retailer (not from the manufacturer and not from your purchase) if you click on the links. We’ll talk about some of those, too, like the Phanteks P400A.Įach case will be accompanied with a link to our review and to the product listings. This coverage provides a flyby overview of the best cases we’ve reviewed or worked on in the past year, but keep in mind that cases don’t age like CPUs or GPUs - many good cases from 2019 are still available, and in some instances, the pricing has improved. We’ve already published a buyer’s guide for the Best CPUs of 2020 (for gaming, workstation tasks, video editing, and more), and now we’re back with the Best & Worst PC Cases of 2020. We’re back for our annual “Best Of” series.
