Lian Li Unveils Its Latest Case Collaboration, the A3 Micro-ATX

Lian Li, a leading manufacturer of chassis and PC accessories, has partnered with DAN Cases to produce the A3-mATX. Featuring high-performance mesh panels at the top and both sides, the A3-mATX ensures optimal airflow and cooling for your compact system. The PSU mounting bracket that supports ATX and SFX power supplies is adjustable at 5 different heights, creating different clearance scenarios that allow this micro-ATX chassis to house larger components, enhancing flexibility. The case supports a wide range of hardware, including 4.5 slots GPUs up to 415 mm in length, up to 360 mm AIOs, and up to 10 x 120 mm fans in total. A glass side panel and vertical GPU mounting kit are available as optional accessories, providing users with great levels of aesthetic customization. The LIAN LI A3-mATX comes in both black and white color options and is priced at $69.99 MSRP.

Even with its micro-ATX footprint, the A3-mATX does not slack on what components it can fit. The possibility of accommodating 4.5 slots GPUs up to 415 mm in length promises the option of going for high-end GPUs. AIOs up to 360 mm can be installed on both the top and the left side for sufficient cooling, and the maximum capacity of 10 x 120 mm fans for rigorous gaming sessions. The PSU mounting bracket of the A3-mATX offers unparalleled versatility with its multiple mounting locations. Both the front and the right side of the case can house the PSU in five different height settings. Compatible PSU sizes include ATX, SFX, and SFX-L with a maximum length of 220 mm. The hard drive mounting tray is also highly versatile with a total of 4 different settings on the front and the right side. Depending on the different configurations of the PSU, the compatibility of the GPU, radiator, and cooling fans changes accordingly, allowing users to express true freedom when building.
High-Performance Mesh Panels
The A3-mATX even with the volume being just over 26L, boasts 3 high-performance mesh panels on the top and both sides of the case, providing ample airflow for this compact chassis. The top panel is secured by 2 easy to remove thumb screws, while the side panels can be quickly removed with their toolless mounting mechanism. The reinforced plastic front panel goes for a modern, minimalist look, also detachable thanks to toolless mounting. A magnetic dust filter is provided at the bottom of the case, covering the entire bottom opening to keep your build nice and tidy.

Additional Aesthetic Upgrade
Two additional accessories are available for the A3-mATX, starting with a tempered glass left-side panel to provide users with an unrestricted view of their PC build, and a vertical GPU kit that allows users to opt for direct air intake for their graphics card from the left-side panel. Both accessories are available in black and in white, at an MSRP of $12.99 and $49.99 respectively.

Availability
The LIAN LI A3-mATX will be available on May 22nd, 2024, at an MSRP of $69.99 for both the black and the white versions.

Looks like a solid NR200 with metal top panel and more room for µATX and a big 4090.

Oh sweet.

Lian-Li were the original manufacturer for the NCase M1 too.

I may have to pick up a dozen of these and store them. What annoys me about these collabs is that they're short production runs and perpetually scalped/out of stock/lonnnnnnng preorder delays.

Can you fit a 120 up front with a SFX PSU / sliding that bracket up?

Trudat, but the question is what corners did they cut to get to the price point ?

Too late, cause I already had my AI-buyer bot thingy snatch them all up, everywhere all the time all at once....

But you can buzz me in a few months, I MIGHT be willing to let some go, for a reasonable price, of course, and zero delays, since I'll use my AI drone thingy to drop one right at your front door....heeheehee :D

You shouldn't have to worry about limited availability with this case. This is a Lian Li case codesigned by Dan (like the A4-H20), not a Dan case manufactured by Lian Li (like the A4-SFX and C4-SFX). It should be available through Lian Li's regular distributors.

I think it’s closer to an Asus AP201 which is one of the most popular m-atx case I think

AP201 is the most popular once mATX case. I got mine for $30 (using the TikTok code back in late 2023) and it really is easy to build in. It even supports standard size ATX PSUs.

I wish ASUS made a AP201 that accepted a standard ATX/E-ATX motherboard though. I would be sold on that.

Let’s hope the case doesn’t sell that well, but well enough to be around…. If motherboard makers see matx boards flying off the shelves prices are gonna rise….

This looks like it could have been the perfect replacement case for my home server if it allowed mounting four 2,5" drives :(

There are slots for 3. You could just glue the last one down. :D
