Lian Li V100 ATX Mid-Tower PC Case - Preinstalled ARGB Fans

In this review the Lian Li V100 ATX mid-tower is presented as a practical choice for builders who want strong airflow and an eye-catching interior without a complex setup. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of four pre-installed 120mm PWM ARGB fans and an integrated 26-LED ARGB strip that deliver ready-to-run cooling and synchronized lighting straight out of the box. The case balances useful features like tool-less panels and a slanted display platform with the space needed for large GPUs and radiators, making assembly straightforward for most builders.

Key Features

• Pre-installed ARGB fans: Four PWM-controlled 120mm ARGB fans come installed so users get immediate, adjustable airflow and synchronized lighting without buying extra fans.
• Integrated ARGB strip: A built-in 26-LED ARGB strip provides full spectrum lighting that can sync with motherboard software to improve component visibility and style.
• Display platform: The slanted front PSU shroud includes a dedicated display platform for figures or small collectibles, keeping the front clean when not in use.
• Tool-less access: Each side panel uses a tool-less mounting mechanism to speed up component swaps and make routine maintenance easier.
• High component support: The V100 supports GPUs up to 420mm and CPU coolers up to 178mm, allowing large graphics cards and tall air coolers to fit comfortably.
• Radiator compatibility: The layout accepts up to a 360mm radiator for serious liquid-cooling configurations while maintaining optimized airflow.

Who It's For

The V100 is well suited to PC builders who want a mid-tower with strong out-of-the-box cooling and visual flair, particularly gamers and content creators installing long GPUs and a 360mm radiator. The pre-installed PWM fans and ARGB strip reduce parts sourcing and the daisy-chain fan setup simplifies cable routing for first-time builders and experienced tinkerers alike.

Those who need a compact ITX workstation or absolute silence-focused chassis should look elsewhere, as this case prioritizes airflow and ARGB lighting over ultra-compact dimensions or full passive cooling. Users who require exotic mounting or custom water-cooling reservoirs beyond a standard 360mm loop may prefer a case with more bespoke loop space.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Four pre-installed PWM ARGB 120mm fans provide effective airflow and lighting right away.
• Integrated 26-LED ARGB strip and daisy-chain fan connectors simplify synchronized lighting and cable management.
• Spacious interior and support for up to 420mm GPUs make long cards and large coolers easy to install.
• Tool-less side panels and a slanted display platform speed up builds and add a distinctive look.

Cons

• Emphasis on ARGB and airflow means it is not optimized for those seeking an ultra-quiet or ultra-compact small-form build.
• Some users report mixed feelings about ease of use, so first-time builders should expect a short learning curve for cable routing.
