this is for those that don't wan tall the RGB their others have.

I remember Lian Li as being one of the two super premium case makers, with Silverstone being the other. Silverstone still seems to be making high quality cases, but the new ones from Lian Li, with their great pricing, indicates to me that they may not be so premium anymore?

I built a PC in Lian Li's Lancool 217 and it's so close to case perfection

Affordably cool

170mm fans? Oh cmon... Li Li, you're disappointing me. 120, 140 and 200mm fans are everywhere, standards, many options. Feels just like Silverstone's (sadly, another favorite manufacturer of mine) 180mm fans. Whyyyy

unless something really wonky happens, anything bigger should be better. more flow / pressure at lower and quieter RPM. and maybe right now the size could be a bit proprietary until it takes off, which the other sizes appear to have.
 
The 2x 120s under the GPU look silly with those big intakes in front.

Something tells me the this case is not that good, but it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong.

There exists (I have a couple of them) unicorn 200mm fans that's are aimed at performance over silence. More CFM than you could ever need, and they're absolutely whisper quiet. If more companies made them, I don't see why any other bigger fan standard is needed. 200mm really isn't that much bigger than 170/180... why make a new "standard" that's brand-new for nothing? I just don't get it.

Larger fans are usually lower static pressure due to the lower max RPM

Noctua 200mm as an example is only
1,08 mm H20 but it caps at 800rpm

but 1,08 for a 120mm fan is pretty weak.

Lancool branded cases have traditionally been steel and cheaper for the mainstream user. Their other cases used to be aluminum and more pricey.

they don't have a lot of selection anymore...not like they did before. and Silverstone...they tick me off. They have tons of stuff on their site that they don't even make anymore. archive it so the info is still available, but c'mon, stop mixing it up with your current products!

no doubt that's how they're generally designed. I would bet the cost to develop a high RPM / high pressure fan would be expensive. very interesting, but expensive...
