Newegg has the
Lian Li Lancool 2 (black) case [newegg.com] for
$99.99 shipped. Or $5 more for the White version.
LIAN LI on Facebook says it WON'T come with bonus optional accessories.
I reached out to confirm. They and newegg should have marked this "Backorder", not "Preorder" because it doesn't meet the preorder bonus item expectations. This means it's a fair price, and it's available, but not slick or a steal.
AWESOME case. It has been out for a few months
but because it's marked as a "Pre-order" per Newegg, it means you should get the usually optional items for free ymmv. This includes:
- LAN2-1X Vertical Graphics Card Holder with Riser Cable [microcenter.com] usually $54.99
- LAN2-2X Side Diffused Led Strip [microcenter.com] usually $11.99
- LAN2-3X Hot Swap back plate [microcenter.com] usually $14.99
- LAN2-4X Type C Cable [microcenter.com] usually $11.99
Prices above based on Microcenter pages. Debatable if they are worth that much ( but that's what it costs you if you don't get them included.)
Here is a 30 minute full review [youtube.com] by GamersNexus.
They also confirm that a Preorder on Newegg means the optionals come with it. This is the only source of truth, besides history and public statements about Newegg lian li case preorders. It's not explicit on the product page. Don't blame me if Newegg does a 180 turn here.
(re) Release Date: 5/22/2020, per the product page.
Features: dual glass windows, 3 hot swappable HDD trays (adjustable to give more length for PSU), front LED on intakes (not on fans), controllable RGB buttons on the top port panel. USB-C port, back cable routing plates to hide them, back 2.5" SSD caddies, 3 fans, and more.

Good feedback. Hopefully they had a small delay and re-assessed the delivery date properly for one change only.
Their margins on the base price are probably small, hence the over priced optional additions, but if they come free with this preorder, and doesn't delay again, then it's probably a steal and worth diving in. If the optional items don't come, then it's a fair price and value case given how hard it is to get good cases at reasonable prices right now.
I'm hesitating to buy because my next full build probably comes a year from now, and I don't need it, but I'm itching to buy it hahaha.
Make sure your MOBO has 3 pin 5 V ARGB header they are not compatible to 4 pin 12V RGB header.
