INCOMING / NEWS
Lian Li has announced a new case, the Lancool 2. This
is a mid-range midi-tower, one that’s trying to walk a
line between chunky box housings and the ARGB disco
malarkey style of case. You thus get big, tempered glass
windows married up to a classic angular techy square shape.
Packed inside is an impressive cooling setup, with three
120mm ARGB fans installed by default, with room for five
more. The case can accommodate either 3 x 120mm or 2 x
140mm fans at the front, 1 x 120mm at the rear, 2 x 120mm
in the side cover to the PSU compartment and either 2 x
120mm or 2 x 140mm in the roof. The fan mountings also
work for 240mm or 360mm radiators. The Lancool 2 is
available in either black or white, priced at £82.99 (inc VAT)
for the former or £87.95 (inc VAT) for the latter.

The RX 5500 XT is a Navi 14 GPU with 1,408 stream
processors and a base clock of 1670MHz to a boost of 1845MHz.
here are 4GB and 8GB versions and both use GDDR6 on a 128-
it bus. Custom variants are expected to play around with clock
peeds, as always.
Price-wise, AMD is positioning this one in the slot where the
Radeon RX 590 used to sit. As such, expect to spend around $
USfor the 4GB version, and $199 US for the 8GB.
