Lian LiA3-26.3L Micro Form Factor Chassis - Wood Front & Side Tempered Glass Panel - Supports 360mm AIO-Modularity Design for M-ATX, ITX Motherboard-DAN Cases Collaboration - White (A3W-WDG)

I’ve been shopping around for a good ITX case for months and have been having a serious problem finding something that can fit a large enough cooler to allow my 9700x to stay cool while encoding at 100% usage. This case finally did it with a liquid cooler master atmos 240aio. Even with overclocking im not getting CPU temps above 75°C! on other cases with air coolers they were becoming heat soaked and reaching temps upwards of 95°C. I also fit a full SF750L PSU in this thing that’s way better than the low efficiency unreliable mini itx flex PSU. Lian Li did a great job with this case. So many cards are applicable with it and it’s small enough to carry in a pelican case. It’s not what I was originally going for with my build but ended up being necessary with the amount of load I run through my PC. The hardest part was routing the AIO cooler lines. I definitely would recommend for the price!

TL;DRI really like it. It's small, and still has more space than I thought. Easy to build in, even as a first-timer. Very much recommend it. The one I received was missing the PCIe riser cable and the power switch cable, but that may have been a reseller issue, not a manufacturing one.Components I Used:AMD Ryzen 7 7700 CPUROG Strix B650Ei Gaming Wi-Fi MotherboardRipjaws S5 DDR5-6000 32GB RAM (x2)WD_Black SN770 1TB NVMe SSD Drives (x2)ASUS Dual Radeon RX 6600 GPUCorsair H100i Hydro-Cooling FanCorsair SF750 Power SupplyCooler Master PCIe 4.0 x16 riser cable*The PositivesI love the design and model. It's even smaller than I expected, but it still holds a lot more space. For a case that's the size of a shoebox, the internal layout makes it easy to work with if you have the right parts. I still have room left over to add SATA SSD drives, or maybe even drop in a small figurine for fun.The ventilation is exceptional. There are vents on almost every side, and the panels are easy to pop off when needed, which helps with airflow and access. I have decent cooling components, and since this is a development machine and not a gaming rig, the system has stayed cool to the touch since I started using it.The case is very straightforward to work with. This was my first PC build, and the process went smoothly. I’d recommend this to anyone who wants a clean, sleek, utilitarian setup.The NegativesMy unit was missing several components that were supposed to be included. There was no screw bag, and some of the screws for the top and bottom inner panels were missing. Most importantly, the PCIe riser cable wasn’t included, even though it’s shown in both the manual and the product listing. I had to buy a replacement for $40, though I did receive a partial refund.The power switch cable for the case's power button was also missing. Only a reset switch cable was included, so I had to short the power pins on the motherboard with a screwdriver to turn the system on. That's pretty bad. I eventually repurposed the reset switch cable to act as the power switch. It works, but that’s clearly a hack and not how it was intended to be used.

Pros-looks great with the wood panel.-airflow is great for the size. I like that they give you that extra length for larger GPUs and 3 top exhausts if you need it. (I'd recommend air-cooling unless you hate air coolers from an aesthetic viewpoint.)-Toolless panels. You also have options for rear thumbscrews, but the panels snap in without them.-lots of PSU mounting options.-clearly marked included screw set in box-front i/o is great and no annoying blinking bright LEDs on the power button. Front i/o cable is joined (instead of the the separate i/o strands the can be difficult to plug in the first time.Cons-the perforated panels have some flex when not installed. Be careful you don't accidently put a heavy object on it. Also, make sure that all 3 brackets are aligned when snapping it in. If on is off, there could be some warping.-The only thing I wish is that they gave and option for the right side panel to be solid/rigid. With my current temps, having both perforated metal feels like overkill save if you're going for an i9, 4090/5090 build. you're all not really exhausting any air through that panel so having a more rigid option would be cool.-No case fans included. This isn't an issue for me (I usually just swap out included fans for some Noctuas or Be Quiets), but if you're a new builder and don't have your own preferred fans, be aware of this.-Manual is the standard bare-bones one you get with most cases...not great, not terrible.Conclusion: It's a great looking mATX case with plenty of functionality. As long as you're not expecting all of the premium features of the Fractal Design North, you'll be good. 80-$100 is a fair price. I wouldn't go any higher.
