Its standout feature is the elegant wooden slat front panel, layered over a high-airflow steel mesh for superior cooling and timeless style. Despite its compact 26.3L size, this case supports modern gaming hardware, including GPUs up to 430mm long, CPU coolers up to 165mm tall, and up to ten 120mm fans. Highly adaptable, the A3-mATX allows customizable configurations for PSUs, storage solutions, and cooling systems, ensuring compatibility with ATX, SFX, SFX-L, and Lian Li Edge PSUs. Multiple radiator placements, including triple 360mm options, cater to both air and water-cooling setups. Perfect for gamers seeking performance in limited spaces, this case balances aesthetics and functionality. The A3-mATX features minimalist mesh panels on three sides and a sleek front panel for a blend of functionality and style. Its front panel is crafted from sophisticated black walnut trim, offering a perfect balance of style and function. Toolless removal of all exterior panels and modular brackets simplifies installation and cable management. A removable bottom dust filter helps maintain system cleanliness and efficiency. The A3-mATX case supports a maximum CPU cooler height of 165mm and a 4-slot GPU with a maximum length of 415mm. Note that with a 25mm thick fan installed at the bottom, the GPU thickness is limited to 61mm (3-slot). Installing a radiator and fan combo leaves no space for the GPU. The included anti-sag GPU bracket ensures perfect graphics card alignment. This 26.3-liter case maximizes cooling capacity, with 360mm AIO mounting options for efficient high-end component cooling. It offers multiple PSU mounting slots for ATX/SFX/SFX-L or LIAN LI Edge PSUs up to 220mm, allowing ideal placement for your build. The wooden edition's open-space front panel design ensures optimal airflow for PSU intake when front-mounted with the fan facing outward, enhancing cooling efficiency. It provides 3 drive bays for storage needs. The front IO includes essential ports and buttons, seamlessly integrating connectivity with a stylish front panel design. This A3-mATX is a collaboration between Daniel Hansen of DAN Cases and LIAN Li, merging design expertise with manufacturing prowess.
