I plan on building a custom loop. Dual 360mm rad'll give me a peace of mind for future builds. If you want 280mm support, there's the C4, only ITX tho.I personally think that they can make it a bit more optimize. maybe change the 360mm rad support to 280mm (from what I know most 360 AIO perform about the same as 280mm) and maybe have the max GPU support shrink down from 395mm to sth like 350mm? 395mm is a bit overkill IMO. The case might be a bit fatter and taller but way shorter and shrink down a bit.
Again I am not saying the case is bad, its great actually and seeing what Dan did with his products I have no doubt that he think of everything when designing this case and still do to further improve it. But from my experience with doing some one off PC case design, I think the case can be further shrunk down without sacrificing too much performances.
Beautiful case. When will it be available in Australia or deliverable to Australia and also price?
Introduction
The A3-ATX is the new collaboration project between Lian Li Ltd. and DAN Cases.
The result is a sub 20L case with support for dual 360 radiators, 4.5 Slot GPUs, ATX and SFX power supplies and mATX motherboard.
- One day Lian Li asked me if am interested in designing a mATX Case - and I agreed. -
Possibilities
The traditional hardware layouts allows for tower heatsinks with up to 155mm in height. With the radiator bracket it is possible to install 120, 140, 240 or 280mm or 360 radiators with 25mm thick fans for the best cooling results. For both the traditional and sandwich layout you can install 4.5 slot GPUs with a length up to 395mm. Three 120mm fan mount points at the top of the case allows for indirect GPU cooling. In sandwich mode you will be able to install a 360 AIO at the top of the case.
Specification
Case Dimensions (H x W x D): 275 x 178 x 410mm, 20L
Overall Dimensions: 300 x 175 x 410mm (including case feets)
Graphic cards support: 4.5 Slot GPU up to 395mm length
Motherboard support: mATX, Mini-ITX, DTX
Power Supply support: SFX, SFX-L, ATX
CPU Heatsink support: Up to 158mm in height.
Case Fans: 3x120 at the top and 3x120 or 2x 140mm at radiator bracket
Water cooling support: up to dual 360mm radiator with 120x120x25mm fans
Drives: up to 4 x 2.5" HDD/SSD
Power button: Premium-grade button
Top IO: USB-A, Audio, Mic, USB-C
Material: 1,5mm aluminum (outer panels), 1.2mm steel (inner parts)
Side panels: Easily clipp able with LianLi Push Pin technology

I second your opinion. As @dondan said on one of the posts:I was reading through the thread and noticed some discussion on the feet design, and I would like to say that I prefer the original design choice more than the rounded feet that was proposed as the change. I feel the flow of the case looks better with the original design choice that was first proposed and after watching the digital expo video, it looks like it can be raised 10mm as well.
The only 2 things I personally think that can be improved, in otherwise exceptionally looking case, are 1) single combo jack for audio and 2) if possible to optimise and reduce the volume to ~19L.The front and the stand are the only two design Elements that differ this case from a generic box
Questions like " is my GPU with its block at 160mm Wide fit in there ? " is ok ? ^^'I will not answer release and design questions because the case is still in development. I made a complete new drawing for LianLi so the case could be look different at the end.
You only need around 330mm to 340mm to fit both a MATX Mobo (244mm) and a ATX psu (86mm thickness) with the configuration option shown in the render. Unless you place the PSU with its fans facing either of the side panel, then yes the 400mm is needed. But I'm yet to see that in the render so I'm not convinced. I understand the appeal of fitting a 360mm rad into the case and so far I think for the amount of hardware support, the size is good. I just wish that It can be a bit smaller and you can fit both MATX board and ATX psu without considering the 360 rad.The length needed for a matx motherboard + atx power supply means it supports a 360 by default. They didn't make the case larger just for the rad.
The c4 is a good case, but I don't think it can fit a 4090.I plan on building a custom loop. Dual 360mm rad'll give me a peace of mind for future builds. If you want 280mm support, there's the C4, only ITX tho.
you can refer to the renders in the 1st post - PSU is next to the motherboard like most sandwich layout, or rotate 90 degrees towards the frontLian Li/DAN A3-mATX. I am curious about the power supply placement ,
Is it like the cereburus x case with the power supply over the cpu.
I assume he's focused primarily on the C4 since that's closer to launch than thisSo did this die? I really hope not..
