The world of computer cases has seen its fair share of white casings over the years, but it's a challenging color to achieve, especially when mixing different materials like plastic and steel. Manufacturers have tried their hand at creating these white cases, but unfortunately, many have fallen short due to imperfect color temperature between various components.

In an effort to find out if LAN Cooler One could excel in this area, we decided to review the Glencore Mid Tower case. As one of the cheaper options on the market, it's a great chance for us to compare its performance against other mid-tower cases like the Fractal Design Mesh ICC and the NZXT H 500. The Glencore is also notable for being one of LAN Cooler One's more affordable price points, which starts at around $30-40 less than their top-of-the-line 11 Dynamic case.

When it comes to aesthetics, the Glencore certainly delivers a visually appealing design. Its white casing is not only striking but also well-executed, with clean lines and a minimalist approach that makes it easy to integrate into any build. The use of tempered glass on the side panel adds an extra layer of sophistication, providing a clear view into the case while maintaining a sense of elegance.

However, one of the standout features of the Glencore is its radiator support. Unlike some other mid-tower cases in this price range that may offer limited or no radiator support at all, LAN Cooler One has managed to include both front and top-mounted radiator options, making it an attractive choice for those looking to customize their build.

Another notable feature of the Glencore is its RGB lighting system. This is achieved through the use of addressable LEDs that can be easily programmed using a specific software. The lighting effects are customizable and can be synchronized with other components in the system to create a truly immersive gaming experience.

When it comes to cable management, the Glencore delivers once again. With ample space for cable routing and organization, users will have no problem keeping their build looking clean and organized. This is particularly impressive when compared to some of its competitors, which often struggle with cable management due to cramped spaces or poor design choices.

In terms of performance, we put the Glencore through a series of tests to gauge its temperature handling capabilities. The results were quite impressive, as it performed virtually identically to more expensive cases like the NZXT H 500 and Fractal Design Mesh ICC in regards to both CPU and GPU temperatures. This suggests that LAN Cooler One has managed to deliver on its promise of delivering good performance at an affordable price.

One interesting observation from our testing was that removing the front panel had a negligible impact on the case's temperature performance. This implies that the Glencore is not restricting airflow as much as some other cases might, making it more suitable for use with front-mounted radiators.

However, when using extremely tall memory modules or radiators, users may encounter issues due to clearance constraints. In our testing, we found that a 280mm radiator in the top-mounted position caused conflicts with the motherboard's VRM heat sinks, while longer graphics cards would also benefit from more clearance.

In conclusion, the LAN Cooler One Glencore Mid Tower case is an impressive offering that delivers on its promise of good performance and aesthetics at an affordable price. With its customizable RGB lighting system, radiator support options, and excellent cable management capabilities, it's a great choice for those looking to build a high-performance gaming PC without breaking the bank. While users should be aware of potential clearance constraints when using certain components, overall, the Glencore is well-suited to meet the needs of most mid-tower case enthusiasts.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enso plenty of case manufacturers have tried to bring us white cases and since white is such an unforgiving shade you know the color temperature has to be perfect between the different materials being used especially if you mixing plastic and steel a lot of them to be honest do fall short so lamely wanted to know if I would check out their white land core one mid tower case and since we never actually got to review the original land call one the black one I thought it would be a great chance to see how it stacks up against other cases like the mesh if I see from fractal design and the H 500 from NZXT it is one of the cheaper cases that we've seen from lien Lee although there does seem to be a slight premium for the white model over the black model and overall I think they've executed the white pretty well it's definitely on the cooler side in terms of color temperature and that's why in some shots it looks like it has a cool blue tinge the front panel is a brushed silver aluminium and here Linley are taking a different approach to front intake for airflow with a cutout directly in the middle of that front panel that's accompanied by some RGB LEDs that run through the middle and since this is the Glencore one digital these LEDs are fully addressable and do support motherboards sync otherwise there are a ton of effects by the switch on the front IO and also one big difference here for the white model is that the LEDs on the front panel actually shine through and illuminate the entire case meaning that you potentially don't need to throw more money at additional RGB strips and lighting controllers overall I think the look of the front panel is pulled off quite well it's daring for case companies to go outside of the norm of just the usual side cutouts which we also have here by the way and as we'll see in the thermal testing it actually performs quite well the land cool one is a bit larger than the NZXT H 500 and the fractal design mesh of IC which are both priced slightly under but the plus side for the lien lien closure is extra radiator support for top mounted 360 rads and we'll take a proper look at clearances in just a bit the tempered glass side panel has a light tint and is uninterrupted by thumb screws which is always great to see there's only two small thumb screws at the rear as well as two small pins that connect the side panel to the frame and it catches and hinges nicely on those case feet the top portion of the case includes this magnetic mesh panel although exactly call it a filter as it is quite breathable and underneath you'll get access to your top mounted Rainier and fan rails USB type-c is included for front AO and that's in addition to two USB 3.0 ports the entire interior is white as we just took a look at aside from the black cable grommets which are positioned to allow EA TX motherboards a nice consideration and on the power supply shroud you've got two brackets which you can mount two and a half inch drives to you can remove these though and that's something that I'd recommend if you're not mounting drives here revealing the perforated and breathable power supply shroud which is always nice to see something interesting here is that you can actually mount to 120 millimeter fans on the shroud which will pull air from underneath the case through the dust filter and feed cool air to your graphics card after using both the nkm won and chimera servers extensively which both can accommodate bottom mounted fans it's nice to see this come to a mid-tower case and it's definitely recommended if your card typically runs a bit hot vertical GPU mounting can also be achieved in the land called one however that will need to be purchased as an add-on as no riser cable or bracket is included to 120 millimeter fans are included one at the rear and one at the front they spin at 1000 RPM and also white although I will note it's not exactly the same white as the case these are slightly warmer taking a look at the flip side now and I'm being picky but I don't really like these bulky thumb screws especially when the rest of the case looks so clean the back of the motherboard tray is pretty bare also when it comes to cable management there's enough room to manage things along with a couple cable tie hoops and zip tie points but it's nowhere near on par with what we've seen from a fractal design or NZXT you can mount up to 225 inch drives here behind the motherboard tray and another two three and a half inch drives underneath the power supply shroud this is sufficient in this price range however mine only came with one two and a half inch drive mount included for radiator support you can accommodate up to a 360 or 280 millimeter radiator at the front or top so for custom loops and a iOS you do have some options for top mounted radiators clearance is fine for 120 240 and 360 when using the outer rails you might have issues with extremely tall memory modules though if you are exceeding a 40 millimeter thick radiator 280 millimetres was a no-go for me in the top mounted position as there was a conflict with the motherboard vrm heat sinks so be sure to check that otherwise you've got sixty five millimeters of clearance for the front mounted radiators and I did manage to squeeze in a 40 millimeter thick red along with twenty five millimeter thick fans but it's not exactly easy since there's no removable brackets to remount the radiator and fans - and then reinstall them instead everything has to be squeezed in there and sort of just screwed in also for three hundred and sixty millimeter front mounted radiators you'll need to remove this cover here as well as slide the three and a half inch drive cages to their backwards most position if you're planning on running dual radiators here I'd recommend the 360 at the front and then perhaps a 240 at the top as a top mounted 280 key is just too close to the ports on the 360 and in total you've got up to 450 millimetres of a length to play with your graphics card radiator and fans so even the longest of cards will fit even if the entire front mounted radiator portion is occupied you still have up to 350 millimeters of length for your graphics card which is plenty for air cooling CPU coolers up to 175 millimeters tall are good to go meaning that even the largest tower options from nock to and be quiet will fit with no issues the LAN cool one actually performs pretty decently in regards to system temperatures as well among other mid towers that I've tested without rising 5 test system and out of the box performs virtually identically to an NZXT th 500 or s 340 elite in regards to CPU thermals it's also great to see that when removing the front panel there's a negligible improvement for the CPU temps leading us to believe that it's not restricting air flow that much at all the same can be said for GPU temps where the LAN core one impressed again and the front panel again doesn't seem to be holding things back here much for our test system overall thermals here are slightly above average against other cases that I've tested and since that front panel doesn't seem to be holding back airflow a front mounted radiator should perform quite well so overall it looks like lien ly have done a pretty decent job with the Lanco one and it's nice to see them venturing into more affordable price ranges compared to what they're typically known for pricing seems to be right around where you would expect for this enclosure about 30 to 40 dollars less than their 11 dynamic which has received some very good reviews it also does look great with a finished build in there and you know I feel like a lot of people will buy these white cases and then try and populate as much white hardware as they can inside but in my opinion going with an all-black system complements the white enclosure of really well it's actually what I've done with my main system inside the chimera servers with all white panels except for the black top panel with all the interior components being either black or a dark gray it produces this really clean overall minimal look for the final build in this price range it is competing against the fractal design mesh fic though which is pretty much the bread-and-butter mid Tower at this point so it's really going to be up to you whether the additional radiator support and RGB and the Wankel one can win you over so guys don't forget to drop your comments down below on your thoughts on the lien Leal ankle won and also a bit of feedback for myself on what mid towers or perhaps ITX systems you like reviewed in the near future as always guys a huge thanks for watching you can check the links down below if you'd like to
