Lian Li/DAN A3-mATX

I dont think they will change their mind since requirements are ATX + 360 AIO support + very long GPUs. With SFX only sub 20L would be possible.

Oh, didn't knew they are targeting ATX compatibility. This completely changes the target audience. Sad 🫤

Sry ATX psu

So does the revision in post 148 support nine 120mm x 25mm fans or still just six?

 

[dondan]

3x top
3x bottom
3x side
1x rear

So, ATX PSU, m-ATX and mini-iTX mobo support…

single or dual 360 rads?

4000 series gpu support?

 

[Tramere]

3x top
3x bottom
3x side
1x rear

3x 360 rad possible, potentially external res/pump instead of the 120mm on the back. Will buy one when available.

You can take my money now, i trust Dan/Lian-Li!

This one can be an end came case!!!

4000 series gpu support?

Based on the original specs and since new version is larger I think it should fit all RTX 4000 and RX 7000 series.

Thank you for the update.

What is the maximum fan/radiator support at each of the fan locations?

Top:
Bottom:
Side:
Rear:

Many thanks for considering my request.

My goal with this case would be a complete water cooling loop.

Best guess so far:
Side: 60mm + 25/30mm fans for sure
Bottom: 60mm + 25mm ( 30 mm should work)
Top: at least 20.5mm + 15mm (here is the big question)

Thank you so much! I appreciate this! I am going to do my best to wait for this one. Right now, it is the only M-ATX case in the smaller format to allow this kind of cooling and fitment. I can actually start purchasing some items to have them ready for a Christmas Swap Now I need to sell off a few items.

Right now, I see the following.

Side: 1-EK-Quantum Surface X360M + 3-Phanteks 120-T30
Bottom: 1- EK-Quantum Surface X360M + 3-Phanteks 120-T30
Top: 3-Phanteks 120-T30

I am looking forward to the development of this one.

great case. just wonder if it is enough place for a 3.5HDD aside the sfx power?

When SSF cases are designed, preservation of space is needed.

What I have never understood. Why is the PSU always placed right under the top RAD? In my mind, if I am really doing some serious work, my PSU is working away. The fresh air pulled in - cool. But the air is hot when that fresh air goes across the PSU and comes out the top. Why is the hot air always dumped right into the top radiator??? Now the top radiator works almost twice as hard as needed to keep the components cool.

Why not take that PSU and flush mount in line with the top fans? So when the heat comes out, it goes right out of the case. Why not make the case just long enough to pass by the top radiator and still accept a 360 radiator? It is always puzzling when I see this.

It’s as simple as having multiple pcie slots available. The top slot on nearly every board is the one used for the gpu because it’s the fastest one (shortest lane length to cpu). But when I have a 2.5 or larger slot gpu (which are … all of them, at least the modern ones) there are no slots left on an mATX board making it essentially an itx one. I have the use case for populating multiple or all slots so it would be really beneficial to have all of them available without obstructing 80% of them by the gpu.

Exactly what I was thinking after seeing the current progress-
