Introduction
I would like to thank
Lian Li for supplying the review sample.
Lian Li revived the Lancool brand with the Lancool One which received a lot of love and attention (including from us). Now, the brand is offering their next case within that sub-brand of steel enclosures called the Lancool 2. It clocks in below $100, which puts the chassis right into the thick of the market. That having been said, this is really where Lancool should be, but let's dive into the review to see if it can deliver as well to stand out from the crowd.

Packaging
Lian Li has not decided on the box art yet, so our sample came in an unmarked brown cardboard box. This is purely cosmetic as the chassis itself is final. Even the additional accessories we were given have all the packaging print already.
