The Lancool III case was fantastic to build in, with plenty of room to work in, flexibility for future upgrades, and easy cable management. I knew from Gamer Nexus' review of the case that it was possible for a 420mm radiator to fit up top, with some caveats, so I wanted to try it instead of the 360 that GN recommended. I had to ditch the rear exhaust fan; it has been the first build I've done that didn't have one, so it looks weird not having it. The 420mm rad wouldn't fit with the front fan bracket in its stock orientation, but after flipping it around, I had the room to make the 420 fit. The case is quiet (compared to my previous build in an NZXT Phantom 240), but it is pretty heavy!

It's a sick build.

I would add fans to the bottom of the case for better GPU thermals.

+1 in the back. But yes very nice build!

Hi could you tell if the case came with dust filters?

The Lancool III comes with a dust filter at the bottom of the case for the PSU, but the front and top grills have no additional filters behind them.
