Computex 2026 Hardware LIAN LI Cracks the Front-Glass Airflow Problem With LANCOOL 4 at Computex 2026, Alongside a Workstation Beast and Refreshed O11s Rayan Malik • at EDT Add on Google At Computex 2026, LIAN LI launched a barrage of new cases, including some that were previously teased at CES earlier this year. LANCOOL 4 Solves The Front Glass Panel Airflow Problem The LANCOOL 4 aims to solve the classic problem with cases that have a front glass panel: airflow. Usually, companies try to work around the suffocating effect that the glass panel has on the front fans by spacing out the fans and the panel. This gives the fans enough room to generate static pressure, and then adding vents or perforations on the side gives fresh air a path to enter the case.

For one, the extra spacing required to give the fans room to generate pressure adds unnecessary length to the case, which can make the proportions awkward. Additionally, this method still isn't as efficient for airflow as a typical mesh front panel.
