Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “The price of this SHOCKED me – Lian Li @ Computex 2024”.
We’Re here at Le and Le’s booth at computex 2024, where they have a bunch of RGB loads, more RGB and my favorite case here has none and also it’s kind of cheap thanks to lean Lee for sponsoring this video, and this thing is freaking incredible. Just while you look at this think about how much you would imagine that it costs, given that there’s Walnut all around right here and 270 mm fans now what’s really fun about these, is if you look up at the top and press button Boop, they can reverse Directions just like that now, this isn’t so that it just blows air on my face, even though that is really quite a nice feature, but it’s so that they can get the dust off the back of the impellers. So you’ve probably seen this before, where, as your fan gets dirty, all of the Dust builds up right back here along the edge and by just simply pressing this button here once it starts back up, oh come on dude, oh, I might have done it the wrong Way there we go, but by doing that it can get rid of the dust. That’S back there and your fans can look very nice and clean.
What’S also really cool is that they did a whole bunch of testing to find out that the best spot. To put your dust filters is actually on the back of the fans going back to the whole. The dust builds up at the back of your fan thing. These right here are super easy to remove, so you can just come in here rip it out and there you go of course, this being a case made in 2024, it has back to front support. All the connectors are, are nice back here and also, if you have an eatx motherboard, it will fit in here as well. But the thing that I like the most about the 217 is its price. This right here with 2 170 mm fans and a 140 in the back, is just $ 119.
I was really surprised that it came in that low with that much stuff on it, and especially like you’re, normally paying such a large tax for walnot. On a case, it’s really nice to see something – that’s just nice and classy for not too too much, but maybe you’re, not all that classy, but that doesn’t mean that your life needs to be difficult. This right here is their new WLS system Wireless, which makes a lot of sense because their controller is now super simple. I know that you guys have spent so much time with a whole bunch of wires getting crammed into the back of your computer case and all the UR. It’S all just this now that that’s all that it is now you can just plug this into the back of your case, like you can see right here or you can just connect it to your motherboard header with a little internal doad, and then you just stuff It back here don’t have to worry about any wires how this system works is we have our controller and it wirelessly connects to this guy right here, which magnetically attaches to your fans. Now, all of the Power for your RGB and fans is just delivered with the 12 VTS. That’S supplied to your fans for power. We don’t even have pwm signals on our fans here, cuz.
That is all done through software, although if you really want to control your fan speed in the Motherboard BIOS, you can connect the controller to the header right here, since we only have 12 volts going into the fan. The system is a little bit complicated, so inside every single fan we have a 12vt to 5vt converter and that’s allows us to run the RGB over just the fan power and all of this works quite well. But the thing that’s interesting is: it doesn’t increase the price.
There is more complexity, but you don’t have to worry about any of that, and because Le and Lee is saving money on all of the connectors and the wires and all of the pins for all of those connectors that would be on the controller. The price is actually exactly the same as the last generation, even though they do have to have wireless controllers and receivers throughout the whole thing. Another benefit of this new system is that if you want to have an LCD screen in your fans in the past, you would have to have only LCD fans, all Daisy chained together for it to work properly.
But now you’re able to have non LCD fan. Lcd fan and then not an LCD fan or any combination of those should you so choose, so you don’t have to just completely ball out on three LCD fans, and maybe you just get one in the center like right here. This wireless system also works for strammer cables and you can have up to eight receivers connected at once, and each receiver can do up to four fans for a total of 32 fans.
That’S quite a few enough about RGB, though. Let’S look at another case that uh it does have RGB, but has a bunch of other cool things too, that uh okay, we can’t really see it cuz. The GPU is in away one sec. This is the landan cool 207, and, what’s really neat about it, is that the power supply has been moved up to the front of the case. Now.
What this allowed them to do is drop some fans down in the bottom and move them over closer to the motherboard, so they can blow air up into the GPU in a way that’s actually useful. Normally they would just be blowing kind of past it. What this also allowed them to do is drop the motherboard down below the top of the power supply which allowed them to make the whole case more compact than usual. This is a size of a case that would normally be reserved for like a matx build but they’re able to get a full ATX board in here, and it’s really not that large here it is compared to the 217.
Now, if you do put a large GPU into this, they have a bracket right here to hold it up or if you want to Mount Your GPU vertically, they just have a very simple block: they they just give you this piece of rubber. It’S wicked the most wickedest thing about the Lan cool 207, though, is the price, with 2 140 mm fans that are RGB in the front two inverted 120s down here, it’s 80 bucks, that’s really quite good! Well, maybe have a little bit more money, which is where the 01 Vision compact comes in now, in the past, the vision compact, the thing that was really fancy about it were the three glass panels, but maybe you don’t want three glass panels. You can now have mesh on the top as well, if you so choose for extra Cooling. What also is really cool about this is that they have an absolutely massive grommet right here, that you can Chuck your entire aiio cooler through, so that you can hide the tubes back through it and have a super clean look now.
The vision compact will come with the glass panel and the mesh panel at just $ 119, which is really quite good. But maybe you want to hide the tubes to your AIO in a different way, which is whether a hydros shift AI comes in. What they have right here is a little channel for the tubes, so they can come along the back side of the radiator and be almost completely invisible in your system. Wow look at those mirror. Fans too looks so freaking nice now, because the bend radius here has to be super tight.
They couldn’t use normal tubes for an aiio, and these are instead squirrel tubes that you would normally use in a server. So you can bend it really hard and the internal diameter of the tube is going to remain the same for nice, reliability speaking of reliable. They have this new connector for their 12vt high power, which uses soldered connections down here instead of push pins.
Now what this allows is that if you insert it a whole bunch of time with a push pin connector, it can over time move and knock, connect all the way and burn your house down, not very desirable, but by soldering all of the connections they have done. 50 insertions and seen no increase in resistance using these guys right here, and they also have had a similar connector system on their latest streammer cables and have not had a single RMA because of that failing also, we have a bunch of power supplies right here: 1300. W 1,000 watt all the way down to 850. These ones are all platinums. They have these really cool connectors on the side. We have USB hub right here, so you can do one motherboard signal right there to your USB goes out to four.
If you have a whole bunch of RGB devices, they also have a couple of power supplies over here, 650 to 850. Those are all Golds and they are very, very close to turning off the power in here. So we are going to wrap up this video so huge thanks for watching this video and huge thanks to lean Lee for sponsoring it check out everything that we have talked about in the link down below and just have a great old day see you later .
