Lian Li A3-mATX Computer Case-26.3L Micro Form Factor-Black-A3X.US

I recently built my PC using the Lian Li A3, and I’m overall pleased with the case. It delivers excellent build quality, a clean aesthetic, and decent cooling, but there are a few things to consider before making your purchase. Pros: Build Quality: The Lian Li A3 has a premium feel with its aluminum construction. It’s solid and lightweight, making it easy to handle and position on your desk. Design: The minimalist design is sleek and clean. The front panel is simple, with a nice look that fits well in any setup. The side panel is a mix of mesh and aluminum, providing a nice balance of airflow and durability. Cooling: While it doesn't have a dedicated front mesh panel, the case still has adequate airflow, especially when combined with good quality fans. The mesh-aluminum side panel does a decent job of letting air flow in while maintaining the case’s clean design. Compact Size: The A3 is a compact case, perfect for users who are working with limited space but still want to fit in full-size components like a standard GPU. Cons: Limited Cable Management: The cable management space behind the motherboard tray is quite tight, which made organizing cables a bit tricky. It’s doable, but not as easy as some other cases that offer more space and options for cable routing. Overall: The Lian Li A3 is a solid choice for anyone looking for a high-quality, minimalist case. While the limited cable management space and the lack of a tempered glass side panel might be drawbacks for some, it’s still a great option for users who prioritize design and compactness over flashy features. If you're okay with a bit of effort in cable management, this case is a great value.

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 drives Pros. Compatible with fullsize components Looks nice(imo) Easy front panel connector Relatively compact Outstanding build quality Affordable Cons. Horrible cable management options Screws come mixed in bag Limited compatibility(may not match the maximum listed dimensions) Parts used in my build GPU: 7900gre hellhound PSU: Toughpower gf3 1000w CPU: ryzen 7 7800x3d Motherboard: mag b650m mortar wifi Cpu 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 2 Would 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

Absolutely love this brand it has so many modular options. Assembly is great. You can definitely get to everything. Very sturdy.

I’m really loving this Lian Li A3 case. For a micro-ATX setup, the flexibility is insane—being able to move the PSU around made cable management way easier than I expected. It feels super solid and well-built, which you’d expect from a DAN Cases collaboration. Even though it’s compact, it fits everything perfectly without feeling cramped. The modular design is a lifesaver, and it just looks sleek on my desk. If you're looking for a small form factor build that doesn't make you compromise on parts, this is definitely the one. 5 stars all day!

Decent case. Very good airflow, although it's almost impossible to cable manage in (because it doesn't have a compartment in the back). Very small. The screws came in a nicely organized box. It works well with my rig, takes up very little space on my desk (well, not as small as an itx case), and looks clean. Overall 7/10.

Awesome case, I was able to fit a full water cooler, fans, and a 3 fan 3060 into it. Very easy to assemble and compatible with many different options. Some of it is plastic, some is metal so do with that what you will. Very hard to cable manage it but I got it to fit onto my desk better anyway so it doesn’t bother me.

Aside from the Sama IM01 being the only case smaller than this one that has no sacrifices in an mATX case + ATX PSU. I prefer this one because it is easier to work in and a higher build quality. Sure if you want thick aluminum frames and nothing else then the iron oven in the SAMA is for you. But DAN did an amazing job here making the case capable of anything you want! 140mm fans can be strapped on the top side and bottom (Bottom needs zip ties but it works) GPU can be north of 320mm long and take up as many slots as it wants with there being 4. And thermals are always a huge plus here. Because of the longer design its easy to get as much air as possible through the bottom and make a makeshift wind tunnel for the GPU+CPU. And this differs from the SAMA because of the mesh sidings. I may have just got lucky but my side panels are holding up great. No warping at all and the natural air that comes through the more accessible holes makes this case more "GPU friendly". The only downside I can think of is the lack of cable organization. But in a SFF build thats kind of their MO. TLDR: Great case 4th case to build in and the best one yet if you want smaller dont bother with mATX and go get a Fractal ITX.

Great case especially for the $$$$! Build quality is solid, plenty of brackets for different PSUs. The preinstalled motherboard standoffs were all in the correct places for the MSI PRO H610M-G DDR4 LGA 1700 I would buy this case again for another build; but for cable management, I would use a modular power supply.

Me gusto mucho, logro entrar todo lo que necesitaba quedo poco espacio pero quedo perfecto 😅

Muy buena estetica pero me lo imaginaba un poco mas pequeño

Gabinete perfecto en todos sentidos. Excepto por el panel frontal de plástico barato que ni ventilación tiene. Todos los modelos Lian Li A3-mATX deberían incluir el panel frontal de madera con ventilación. O mínimo el panel de plástico barato debería tener ventilación, sobre todo que de ese lado va a ir la fuente de poder y el ventilador de la fuente de poder.

Me gusto mucho el Gabinete, pero lo devolví ya que faltaban varias piezas importantes entre ellos: 1 GPU Support Bracket 1 GPU Support Base 1 torn.Stan-Off Mount Tool 4 torn. 6-32 Power Supply Stand-Off 1 Soporte para Ventilador Lateral Falta la Bolsa Tornillos Puede haber si aduana o algo, pero no me sirve si no esta completo

Los tornillos vienen super apretados, con desarmador manual fué imposible retirarlos solo con taladro
