Seems also a better version than the Lancool II Performance Mesh I have here, especially in regard to larger fans (with more CFM), option to have a second rear fan, and larger top radiator (up to 360mm instead of up to 240mm). The only feature the 216 seems to be missing is the manual button for chassis fans speed, and mounting a HDD/SSD in the cage appears to not be as easy.

Not planning to do any overclocking, so the PerMesh should (hopefully) be good enough even with a new-gen GPU (I couldn't find any numbers about how much CFM is recommended though). But I would probably pick the 216 if I wouldn't have a quite new case here already.

This case is going to be a hit imo.

I've the 215 and have absolutely loved it. Easy access, great air flow for the price. I got mine for €65 euros.

The updated version seems to offer slightly better airflow, with a bit more configurability. Nice!

The rear fan in airflow mode will suit specific gpu coolers. The exhaust out the rear and front Msi 1080 Gaming X that GN used in their thermal test doesn't appear to be one of them.
The custom 160mm fans could lead to more cash spent down the road.

Other than that, 👍
