Collaborative Small PC Cases

The A3-mATX Wooden Edition with DAN Cases is Compact and Premium

— September 6, 2024 — Art & Design
The newly released Wooden Edition of the A3-mATX, a collaboration between Lian Li and DAN Cases, introduces a refined aesthetic to the original design. This version features a minimalist wood front panel, enhancing the visual appeal while maintaining the compact and functional design of the case. The wooden panel complements the steel mesh panels, which ensure optimal airflow and cooling efficiency. This edition supports M-ATX and ITX motherboards, large GPUs, and up to 360mm radiators, making it suitable for high-performance builds.

Despite the aesthetic changes, the Wooden Edition retains the modular design and flexible PSU installation options of the original A3-mATX. The relocatable PSU bracket and ample space for multiple radiator mounting options remain, allowing users to customize their builds according to their preferences. The combination of wood and steel not only provides a unique look but also ensures the case’s structural integrity and cooling performance. This makes the Wooden Edition a compelling choice for users seeking a stylish yet powerful PC case.
