Lian Li Lancool II Mesh

Somnus

Does anyone know when the Lancool II Mesh is supposed to be in stock at Microcenter. The embargo date was last tuesday and I haven't seen anything on the website and even the employees do not seem like they have any clue about availability. I'm hoping that maybe someone has heard something through the grapevine because I am considering ordering it from Newegg and eat the extra $20 in cost. Any information is appreciated!

I don't have an ETA at this time. We carry a wide selection of their products and I"m sure we will carry it in the future. I will see what I can find out and we'll update this thread if we have any updates.

Somnus

Is there any update?

PowerSpec_MikeW

I have no information on it at this time. We don't currently have a product listing for it. If I find anything out or get any confirmation I will update this thread. No ETA on when we'll carry it at this time.

@TSMikeW
Hi Mike, still no updates?

TSTonyV

No updates on this one yet unfortunately.

Do you guys think you'll possibly carry the mesh version? 

TSTonyV

As far as I'm aware we should carry the mesh version, however I'm unsure of when we'll have it available.

Thanks TSTonyV! Glad to hear that.

Keep an eye on b&h, they had the performance version as well as the white rgb one a couple of days ago for $20 extra. Nobody has the black rgb one that I am waiting for!

Thanks @Somnus I noticed that they were updating but I really wanted to buy from Micro center lol. The customer support is phenomenal and it's close so in case of returns it will be very easy. 
Do you know if there is any update @TSMikeW

Unfortunately, no update from what I can see at this moment.

I agree with you. I've been holding out on buying this case because I wanted to buy it from microcenter, and now it's unavailable everywhere. I bet the demand for this puppy is outrageous right now!

@TSPhillipT
 I see that they y'all have it listed here: https://www.microcenter.com/product/623754/lian-li-lancool-ii-mesh-full-tower-computer-case---black
Will you only carry the black edition? Since I was hoping to buy white haha. 
Also @Somnus
B&H has them in stock rn here: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1577100-REG/lian_li_lan2mrw_lancool_ii_mesh_rgb.html

Thanks Zwarrior972!

It looks like they've posted it on their site but not sure if they have any in stores as of yet. I'll probably stop by this week to see if they do!

@Zwarrior972 @Alt

Just a heads up, many of our stores are showing this case in stock now.

Gonna tag @Somnus as well. Looks like several of our stores has them, though sadly we are sold out here at our Columbus store. Was looking to grab one of these for my family NAS. It's a shame I don't live in Tustin or Dallas, they seem to have plenty in stock, lol.

Somnus

Thanks guys. They are indeed selling like hot cakes!

@TSMikeW @TSMichaelB Any updates on this case availability? I am looking to buy one in two weeks. If you can give me a rough time frame, I will decide whether to wait for this case or buy another brand.

@psyspy I could have missed it in the comments above. If so, I apologize but, what location are you shopping in?

psyspy

@LandShark
Denver. 

JS_MC

Looks like we're due for another shipment soon. Typically we get these every 1-2 weeks. I'd recommend you keep an eye on the website.

If you bookmark this post, I'll link the cases below so you can quickly find them.

Check here

psyspy

Thanks a lot! Can definitely wait a week or two for this case!

@LandShark Looks like some SKUs are in stock online(Shipping is not free). However, I am looking for the performance version (SKU: 120998) Any idea on it's availability? 

JS_MC

@psyspy Yes, it would be 1-2 weeks typically. Can't promise anything, but that's what I'd expect. Have you been to the store to speak with an associate about these cases? It's possible they may know when they last received a shipment of these cases specifically and they may have a more accurate estimate for you. 😊

psyspy

Haven't been to the store yet, it's 45 mins away. I will keep waiting.

@LandShark
I had a horrible experience at the MC Denver store, today. I kept checking your website everyday and yesterday it showed two cases were available at the Denver store. Store is almost an hour away. Since that case is an in-store only item, I reserved it for in-store pickup. After 20 mins, I got a confirmation email asking me to pick it up(giving me until Tuesday). 
I went today to pick it up. The employee at the online pick up counter asked me my last name, went to look for my order and brought me a Cyber Power box. She asked me if that was my order. The order sheet on top of it literally says "Lian Li Lancool 2 mesh". Anyways, I said no and she tried searching for it and couldn't find it. A manager went searching for it (in the aisles, back warehouse?) and returned with a used box. 
   I told him I ordered a NEW case not an open box. He told me that before the employee went to pick up my order, a customer could have bought the case. I asked him then why did I get a confirmation email then? He told me the confirmation was for the open box. If I order something new, would you guys sell me a open box??? Honestly, I think the order pickup employee messed up and picked up a random case. On top of all this, he opened up the packing in front of me and many components were MISSING like the screws etc (He told me so). He asked me if I still wanted to buy it ! Who the hell would buy a case with MISSING components? 
   I asked him if he could tell me a rough time frame on new stocks. He didn't know. I asked him if he pre-order or reserve or give me priority whenever you get new stock. He said no. 
   I also wanted to buy a PSU, RAM in the store today. I didn't due to my poor experience at your store. I wasted 2 hours driving to/from your store.

I am sorry if I sound rude. @LandShark You were more helpful than the store associates. 

JS_MC

I'm sorry to hear about your experience @psyspy! Please expect an email from me, as I'd like to get a bit more information regarding this concern.

Glad I found this thread!  Any word on when some of these cases (specifically the Black Mesh RGB version) might be in stock at the St. Louis Park, Minnesota store?  I need it before Christmas and trying to decide whether I should wait for it to be in stock or pull the trigger on an online order somewhere else.
