Thank you LIAN LI for sending this case over! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I like the look and size of the Lian Li Dan Cases A3-mATX. It is 26.3 liters in volume, so not quite Small Form Factor (SFF), but it's a good medium size that will fit on most people's desks. The dimensions are: (D) 443mm x (W) 194mm x (H) 321.5mm, so it is slimmer than most of the popular ATX cases while also fitting a lot of hardware. The A3-mATX is very versatile with respect to its mounting options. You can mount your fans, radiators, PSU, and SSD's in the perfect configuration to fit all of your hardware, although it will take some planning. I opted for a 360mm radiator on top with 3x 120mm fans. This meant I had to mount the PSU on a lower mount. This created some headaches with regard to cable management, which I mention at the bottom of this write-up. I mounted the PSU at the front of the case which allowed me to fit the MSI GPU (up to 334mm of GPU clearance). I like the low price of the A3-mATX! It is a great value at it's MSRP of $69.99. It feels well made for its price, besides the plastic front panel. It comes with a mesh side panel as standard, but a vertical GPU mount kit and a glass side panel will be available to purchase separately. Overall this case is an excellent value for a small Micro ATX enclosure. My only critique is that there is not much room for cable management. I had a difficult time managing the PSU cables in a clean manner for this build. Overall, this case performed well in benchmark tests and kept everything moderately cool at low volumes. You can run your components at low fan RPMs in this case and maintain good gaming temperatures. I am impressed with how much thought went into the design of this case with all of its different mounting points/options. You can fit so much Gaming PC inside this case. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Specs: CPU: Intel Core i9 12900K GPU: MSI Gaming X Slim White GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Motherboard: MSI MPG B760M Edge TI WIFI RAM: 32GB G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5 6000 C36 PSU: Asus ROG Strix 850W White CPU Cooler: NZXT Z73 Kraken Fans: 5x Lian Li SL120 V1 Storage: 2TB Crucial P5 Plus NVME SSD Case: Lian Li Dan Cases A3-mATX -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *ALL BENCHMARKS TESTED WITH MESH SIDE PANELS* -Temperatures & Benchmarks: GPU fans set to auto, all case panels installed.
