Lian Li A3-mATX-WD-26.3L Micro Form Factor Chassis-No Fans Included-Supports 360mm AIO-Modularity Design-for M-ATX, ITX Motherboard-DAN Cases Collaboration-Wood Front Panel-Black (A3X-WD)

I bought this case after seeing many people in the Micro Form Factor Reddit rave about it. I bought a Lian Li Lancool II several years ago and found it to be the best case I had ever built in and have been following Lian Li since. This case boasts a beautiful set of wood panels on front that still allow plenty of airflow to enter. The amount of mesh all around the case meant there was plenty of airflow to dissipate heat without cranking the fans which helps keep it nearly silent. The frame of the case even without the side fan mount is extremely sturdy with absolutely no flex. Building in it was very straightforward, directions show how to mount an ATX or SFF power supply and it was simple. Size was perfect for an ATX motherboard but there’s no room for cable management so it took me as a very seasoned PC builder quite a while to get my cable runs situated which isn’t something I’d recommend for someone who’s new to PC building, but is easy for anyone who’s worked in any SFF case and wants the expandability of a Micro-ATX motherboard. Overall for the price I think this is a case I can recommend to everyone, it’s got beautiful aesthetics, high performance cooling, and a build quality that feels like it should cost a lot more.

I recently built a system using the Lian Li A3 and I’m genuinely impressed. As someone who wanted a true m-ATX build without sacrificing looks or quality, this case hit all the marks. The compact footprint is one of my favorite aspects—it fits perfectly on my desk without feeling cramped, yet still offers excellent airflow and clearance for components. Lian Li clearly optimized the space well: there’s room for a full-sized GPU, multiple storage drives, and tidy cable routing despite the smaller form factor. I was worried about space restrictions, but assembly was intuitive and comfortable even for a first-time builder. Build quality feels premium, with solid panels and clean finishes that elevate the overall look. The case stays cool under load, and the included fan support is great for keeping thermals in check. If you’re building a high-performance m-ATX rig and want something that looks great and performs as well as it looks, the A3 is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend for m-ATX enthusiasts who want a balance of size, performance, and aesthetics!

Got this case and was excited to put together my own small form factor build. It is super easy to work with. Just keep in mind it is a small case so it is definitely going to give you a bit of a brain puzzle for managing cables and getting everything to fit. If you are going for an ITX board with a AIO on top, I would recommend sticking with a slim variant as I ran into ram clearance issues; I opted to pit it on the side and add 3 exhaust fans on the top to help promote the original airflow design. I currently have a 360mm AIO a 9070 XT GPU an SFX PSU, and managed to still add 6 additional fans inside the case. I use this for my entertainment/VR build and it is doing perfectly fine without issues. Easy to work with, great build quality, love the air flow and room for fans and ease of access with the side panels popping off so easily, but staying locked into place securely at the same time. It also looks great in my living room with the black finish and wood accents. I'd also highly recommend looking at GamerNexus' review of the case to get an idea of how to get the cooling solution right if you are seriously considering this case; they helped a lot with my design choices. *Update* In case anyone is wondering, YES. It DOES fit an Astral 5090. I pulled my 9070 XT out of the case just to fit test and it 100% fits and has room for the 12VHPWR connector adapter.

If you are not familiar with Amazon Vine, it is basically Amazon trading free* products for honest reviews. You see a lot of Vine reviews that are cookie cutter and based on templates. I aim to make my reviews honest and non-cookie cutter (other than this intro and disclaimer). * These items are not actually free as Vine members pay income tax on the items they receive. Therefore, I will never order something from Vine unless I actually intend to use it. I think this is important for readers to understand because it means I will never order an item just to provide a fake five star review to a company. If I review something as good, it means I actually enjoyed using it or it fills its intended purpose correctly. Items that don't meet my expectations will be reviewed accordingly. Why I ordered this item: I recently built a new audio production computer and wanted it to be a little smaller than my normal builds. I ordered this case because I liked the wooden slats on the front. Likes: * The case looks awesome when loaded with lighting and PC components. The wood adds a very nice touch. * Fan options are super customizable. I have it loaded with eight case fans, which has gone a long way to keeping my build cool. The fan noise level can get loud, but that's more to my choice in fans than this case. * The smaller footprint is awesome. I appreciate that this does not take up a ton of room on my desk. * There are a lot of great internal features. I like how the PS is mounted toward the front. No likes: * The cable management options are awful. I didn't realize it was this bad when I ordered it, or I might not have chosen this case. I was able to make it work and it still looks great, but it took a lot more effort than it should have. Would I pay full price for this product: Yes, even with the poor cable management system I would order this again. I really like this case. Final thoughts: This got the aesthetic I wanted along with the cooling options I needed for under $100. That's a win to me, even if cable management is bad.

Wünsch ein absolut tolles und kompaktes Gehäuse.

Quite a good case with good ventilation and mounting options, managed to put in two 360 radiators.

I cannot tell how good The case is. Looks premium and can fit large 3080ti perfectly. I have build it with low profile air cooler as I didn’t want to use AIO. The temps are really good and u am having no issues at all. Most importantly you can fit it in a backpack. Portability is awesome.

Me agrada mucho, no fue difícil armar en el espacio reducido, tiene muy buena apariencia, le caben muchas cosas, estoy incluso usando un Noctua NH-D15, un PSU ATX y una GPU de 300mm

Looks good and spacious for an matx case. Still pending build. Fits perfectly on my TV table. Using it for couch gaming...
