SFF mATX is where it's at. Going ITX is typically expensive from the case, mobo and PSU. The A3 offers the best of both worlds: it offers the reduced size of ITX SFF without the financial penalty (PSU being the exception) and the compatibility and popularity of mATX.

Hey Nick what are you most excited for at computex this year? Just curious to know.

great video as always!! i would like to see a size comparison between the asus ap201 and the lian li a3matx. I own the ap201 and love it. but since the announcement of the a3matx Im interested in a new build! :) .. very clean and stylish build from you!

This is what it means to clarify and put in detail. thank you

Hey ! it's a super cool video, you did a really good job ! Do you think the Jonson D31 (without screen) his a better deal than the lian li A3 ? What are the biggest differences ?

does the GPU clearance increase if the PSU is on the side and I use the GPU vertical mounted?

Would a Corsair RMX Shift ATX PSU make things better with it's side port placement?

How does this compare to the Jonsbo D30/31? Was the only small case i could get to fit the msi suprim x 4080 near launch

Looks great

Still not sure if I should go with this or the nr200p. My main selling point on the A3 is the top AIO support. Also m-atx boards are nice. Other review videos on the A3 say that building in this case are an extreme challenge, as using one large component changes the compatibility for every other part. All in all, which if the two cases would be best for future compatibility, ease of use, water cooling potential, and overall aesthetics?

The only nit-pick I have with this case is its footprint. I went to SFF to free up desk space and the A3 appears to take up a similar amount of desk space as a Meshify 2 Compact. The only dimension it really saves space in is vertical which isn't really limited for a lot of people with a case on top of their desk. I do love the design, flexibility and price of it though, I'm sure it'll sell well. With all that said, I'd seriously consider it if I decide to go mATX for my next build - which is entirely dependant on there being decent mATX motherboard options at that point.

so with that air cooler clearance, what's the best aircooler that would fit?

this makes a lot of sense, you could build smaller system on the cheap. it might no be the smallest PC out there, but you can use cheap mATX motherboards, normal AIO or air cooler and it can even support regular ATX (albeit with some considerations), and it cost 69$. I can see low - mid budget build inside with 2 fans GPU, ATX PSU and some, mATX mobo with i5/r5 CPU and budget CPU tower, add couple of fans ram and storage and you are good to go.

@@chy.0190 yes it is long but pretty narrow and low. You measure size in 3 dimensions not just one, so volume is your general metric for size, at 26.3 it's pretty small for mATX. If you are limited by length, then yes it is not the case for you, but for other metric it's comparatively small .

I wish this was out when I made my PC. I went with an AP201 at the time but this looks like a much more refined version with way better mounting.

Do you think it is possible to fit a thicker radiator on top? Like An Srctic Liquid freezer? Especially with an ATX PSU

I have SSUPD Meshlicious and love it. its really well put together, small stylish and can fit most cards right now. But i have to say i am taken with this one! Originally i was going to buy a 011 Air Mini but eventually went the SFF route as i felt it was too big and i will eventually make it a AM4 TV PC. However! with each graphics card generation getting bigger, this case looks like (at least for me) that it might be the sweet spot / inbetweeny for a workstation future build. Subject to new cases at computex 24 / 25 ofcourse.

Good review good case 👍

will this case fit the new arctic freezer 3's with their thicker radiators? would it interfere with the memory slots?

Cool review!! thanx for that. Question: Whrere did you find the gif for the aio ?. it would suit perfectly for mine build. thank you in advance!! 😊😊

This case is a dream for us M-ATX Lovers. But maaaaaaaan, my next project is going to be a Project Zero board, sadly, it doesn't look like it's going to fit here without modifications. Great reviews as always, thank you Nick.

Sweet. I also like that you used a full 0-100c scale in temp chart!.

How did you put front panel connectors to non standard gigabyte board?

Dissapointed with the limitations of CH160 considering its volume and my current components (my psu is just 10mm short). And the unclean looking "prime" on the white TG variant lol. And there it is, this case is what i'm looking for!

Does air move through the front panel? Or it's totally solid?

This is honestly the case I was waiting for. I got an ATX PSU, a 280 AIO several 140mm fans, 2 SSD, and a 330mm GPU. When I mount the ATX PSU in the Upper front position I can fit 2 140 in the top, a 280 AIO on the side panel, my GPU and 3 slim 120mm in the bottom. And the price is just fantastic.

Can I put two 360 mm radiators in this case for custom GPU and CPU water cooling? Does the lower and upper panel support the 360 radiator?

Anyone know where the heck to get the TG panel? I have the case preordered, but can't find the TG panel listed anywhere to order it.

My graphics card is 10mm thicker than yours, do you think mine will still fit with 3 fans at the bottom?

I know the NH-D15 is 165mm on paper. But real world scenarios, do you think it will fit and all panels will close?

This might be the case that retires my Corsair Carbide Air 240. Great price and plenty of room for my parts without adding too much size (it's 2 inches longer while about 2.5 inches skinnier).

I've been looking for a different case to replace my Coolermaster NRP200Max the pump makes more noise than I was hoping and I've been wanting to upgrade to a different more efficient cooler for m,y 7950X-3d / 4090 build

I'm keeping an eye on this!! Been trying to build a compact PC like this. Now I just need 5090 to come out!

The answer to my GPU headache and saved me from upgrading to fit my tiny TU150. I had looked at this nifty little ACC X11 ITX A4 MINI Case but, it's over $250. plus $90.0 shipping. Lian Li to the rescue once again! :)

Do you know the maximum fan+rad thickness for the top position?

17:00 Really appreciate you showing an actual size comparison. Talking about units doesn't visually show how big a case is. I own an NR200 and yes, finding a cost efficient SFX mobo is a real pain. Also everything is a squeeze with larger GPUs, even with an SFX PSU.

Matx is just the right size.. Itx is good with expensive parts great case great build, thanks 👍

Staying comfortable in my Silverstone FT03 matx

Which is better this case compared to ASUS Prime AP201 MicroATX Case? Thanks.

Good idea, but I still need some case with slim design like Fractal Ridge but can also support radiators for cooling and a good does not exist yet

the all around mesh is soooo freaking lovely. I really hope they can make a mesh left side panel for the o11 air mini also

Where can I buy the accessories? I've only found the case.

Wish this case had an inverted mobo option so i could place it on my left. There are apparently very few cases that support the left side orientation where the window is on the right side of the case.

thinking to get this case, but will it affect the life span of PSU since it taking hot air inside the system? just asking

Would the asus strix 4090 fit?

That's a great case! The price is very nice. I'm tempted as I prefer smaller SFF cases. What I would love is this for a smaller NAS. I'd like one more 3.5 drive bay. Also, is there a reason why MATX cases don't adopt a sandwich style layout? In other words, I'd like the spine to move, much like what the Fractal Terra so I could potentially have the option for standard or sandwich.

I currently have a ssupd meshroom S and have trouble with my cpu thermals. I use a matx motherboard because itx boards are so expensive in Canada, so my rad barely gets air in or out. I just discovered this one and I might just get it.

Please do a video comparison of this Lian Li A3 vs Asus AP201, would love to hear your thoughts, cheers mate!

Great Remix and great case 🎉 Thanks for the video! But: My favorite Dan Case stays the A4-SFX 🥰

I'm waiting for Desktop APU's to be on par with Mid-Range dGPUs before I consider upgrading and my next system will be SFF it'll be a space saver.

I had used a similar case like A3 and its Tecware Fusion. in terms of compatibility, I'll have no problem building on this Tecware Fusion (1st version) costs around $60 and it could fit matx/itx mobos and atx/sfx psu but the only difference is A3 can fit larger gpus,165mm air coolers & a full 360mm rad I had only used matx motherboards and I planned to switch to small form factor but the choices for matx sff cases are very limited and itx is quite (sometimes very) expensive I'm looking forward to upgrading with A3. (and it's freakishly budget friendly too)

can it hold a micro atx ? i buy this because i want too upgrade from a full atx case for my streaming and change the case for my gaming one too .

Looks great, it's similar to the Asus AP201. I'm not sure I like the solid front panel, in the Asus it's perforated so the mesh let's you face the PSU fan and give it fresh air.

thx 4u vid. i have a question, i have ASUS TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WIFI with ASUS Radeon RX 7800 XT TUF-RX7800XT-O16G can i build in this case..?

This case will replace my NR200P. Much easier to work one, I love the GPU support bracket and the different options/build variations.

I'm assuming you can also use Mini Itx as well and have even more room.

Would thicker fans like the t30 fit with a regular 27mm thick aio

an AP201 from lian li basically. The Dan A4 H20 + 240mm cm atmos with a 7800x3d and 4090/7900xtx/4080S is just a better package than this imo. Its less than half the size, has insanely good temps and is surprisingly well priced with a $200 asrock b650i and $100 850W SFX PSU

Will the Artic Freezer III 360 fit in there?

Can this case accomodate an ATX AMB motherboard, like the "ASUS ROG Strix B650E-F", please?
