For the C4 v2 adding Matx support; I believe it’s an indication of Sff designers giving up to feature creep. At 14.9L, you are better off optimizing your case for the parts inside and sticking to the itx, and focus on a Matx case to keep providing that Matx compatibility. Keep projects separate and clear and running smoothly.

I found a similar case like this one. Already avaible: https://caseend.com/data/zzaw/zzaw-c3

I mean when you compress this items together you just get that size :D

They always find a way to make a case have a flaw.

Why not offer a full mesh side panel? The case looked awesome except for the mandatory glass bottom side panel. So stupid. So much silly crap out there to preserve form over function exclusively.

Hello everybody! I just joined this forum out of excitement for this amazing new case!

Are there any news on the release date? I really would like to complete my mATX build in the next weeks! 😀

hi,

i don't think it comes so fast, probably we will see something in the ces2024 next week. since a redesign was made 2 months ago, my guess of a release is this summer.
atleast what i saw it became a 26l case and not under 20l anymore.

i think a case under 20l is possible also with mini-atx, but with restricted airflow. a high end case that fits onto a piece of paper :D

FWIW I prefer the slightly larger size as a compromise with regards to better GPU and PSU compatibility.

Let’s hope the CES will bring some news…

Crickets…
If this case ever comes out it will be legendary. Please make it happen.
Alternatively, can we buy a prototype?

Both LianLi's digital expo and your opening post stated that the A3 will be under 20L
Does the new volume include feet hence it's 5L addition?
Or have the overall dimensions of the case changed?

As you can see the case has met with rather vivid reception so we can't wait to hear news about it :)

Also for a brief moment the case had front glass panel but you've later stated that we will not be able to see through.
So the question is will the design revert to solid panel or something we've seen on the expo
Or rather the glass will stay and it will just be covered from the back to obstruct the visibility of the interior of the case?
Here are two pictures of the current prototype. The front will be changed so you cant look through the glass.
