Lian Li A3-mATX-26.3L Micro Form Factor Chassis-Flexible Power Supply Installation-No Fans Included-Supports 360mm AIO-Modularity Design-For M-ATX and ITX Motherboard-DAN Collaboration-White (‎A3W.US)

*new design*affordable*good mesh sides for cooling***optional glass panel pictured. does not come with the base case.This case was just released this year 2024. It is all mesh on the sides which provides for good cooling. I also purchased the optional glass side panel since I was going to be using water cooling. I would not recommend this in hind site. The case is a great design at 26 liters I fit a 360mm AIO 7x120mm fans total, a very larger super flower PSU, and a RX 6800 that is 340mm (13.4in). That's a lot of big equipment for a small case. However there's not a lot of room left over to store cables. I am going to clean up my case better, wiring wise, but if you don't have patience the glass panel is just going to show a lot of wiring. The mesh will stay cooler anyways.Side note my 340mm GPU fit but it was very tricky I'm glad I was able to prove what all could fit but I would not recommend this. Either a 240mm AIO would allow you to mount the PSU higher for a long GPU, or get a SFX psu for clearance or just buy a shorter GPU any of these 3 combos would save a lot of heartache. You can see in the picks my GPU is toughing my PSU it required me to remove the shroud slightly and reinstall once the card was in place.

Plan didn’t go to as planned. Thought my 4090 Aero was a 3 slot card but it’s a 4 slot. It fits perfectly but you can’t put 3 fans at the bottom. Even as is the 3 fans on the GPU are practically its own intake at the bottom and don’t really need extra fans. I tested a couple games in 4k ultra like cyberpunk which hovered around 61c/64, Ark between 58/60c, and full load benchmark but it still stayed under 65c. The fans on the GPU reached a peak of almost 1600RPM. The 4 fans serve as exhaust like they recommend.In one of the pictures you can technically add the 3 fans on the side as intake with the provided bracket but I don’t think it would do much if they’re on top of the GPU. You could possibly mount the AIO on the side as exhaust and set the top 3 fans as intake. Not a fan of the layout since I want the optional glass panel look.The motherboard used ASRock B650M Pro RS WiFi AM5. Mostly due to having some white and 3 M.2 slots. I did go with the new Corsair Icue system with qx120 fans so I’d have less wires.So far I really like the thermals and how compact I got it to be. So if you have a 4090 aero (4 slots) I’d say go for it. I do wish the front of the case did have like a tiny meshed holes to experiment or even trying to add a fan in the front. And I wish there was a way to mount an SFX without the huge bracket. Feel like it takes to much space if I don’t have the max size.

The main gimmick of this case is the ability to mount psu at different heights depending on your needs, if you want watercooling you'll need to place it lower for more room at top, want a long gpu place it higher to increase clearance upto over 400mm, want both you'll need a sfx psu which is easier to cable manage anyway, want a thick gpu, upto 4 slots but anything thicker than 2 you won't be able to have bottom fans or drivesPros.Compatible with fullsize componentsLooks nice(imo)Easy front panel connectorRelatively compactOutstanding build qualityAffordableCons.Horrible cable management optionsScrews come mixed in bagLimited compatibility(may not match the maximum listed dimensions)Parts used in my buildGPU: 7900gre hellhoundPSU: Toughpower gf3 1000wCPU: ryzen 7 7800x3dMotherboard: mag b650m mortar wifiCpu cooler: deepcool assasin IV(may be unavailable due to recent ban, I bought it a while before I learned of the Russia issue)Fans: artic 120mm 5 pack, I could only fit 3 with my gpu blocking the bottom 2Would definetly reccomend to experienced builders or anyone willing to do the research on each components compatibility(or want to take the gamble)Edit: it's also important to mention that come cpu coolers like mine will prevent you from installing the side fan bar, whcih means even tho there is room between my cpu cooler and psu for a fan I can't put one there since the part the fan attaches to is blocked, because of that I could only fit 3 fans, 2 on the top and 1 in back, all exhaust unfortunately whcih means it's a negative pressure system, air can get in through the sides but this will lead to some dust build up
