LanCool Unveils the PC-K56N Mid-tower PC Case

Cristian_25H · Feb 15, 2012, 01:48 PM

Lian Li today introduced a new LanCool-branded PC chassis, a mid-tower model called PC-K56N which features support for ATX, micro ATX, and Mini-ITX motherboards, and can house graphics cards up to 415 mm long.

Made part of the Dragon Lord Series, the PC-K56N measures 210 (W) x 472 (H) x 505 (D) mm, has a steel structure and includes a front I/O panel with two USB 2.0 ports and two audio connectors, three exposed 5.25-inch bays (with tool-free mounting ), an adjustable HDD/SSD rack supporting three 3.5-inch and two 2.5-inch drives, eight (vented) PCI slots, two pre-drilled holes at the rear for routing watercooling tubing, and two fans, one 140 mm spinner in front and an 120 mm model at the back.

The LanCool PC-K56N has a recommended price tag of $99 (VAT not included).

too bad, it has nice interior but the front bezel is too flat and it has no side window

for some reason I really like this, and if you take out that HD rack you might have room for a 240 rad in the front.

Those are both positives for me.

Not keen on the relative lack of 3.5" bays, though.

internals not painted.....really?

The original K56 wasn't painted either.

+1 This case look's like a great mod candidate, would be nicer if the price was $10 - $15 less though. I can see a lot of possibilities for anyone who's creative and has a Dremmel

i don't think it really matters with a non-window case.
