Ohhhh Yes, what else is there to say
by Sean AlessiFor a long time ive been wondering why mATX cases were so big, up until now I was using a Corsair 2500X case which I thought was huge for an mATX case, and even considered just moving to ITX instead, I had been debating the Lian Li A3 for a while now, wondering if I could fit everything I wanted in it, and after watching and reading many reviews on it I decided to bite the bullet, at the price point it wouldnt of been such a hard loss if I couldnt get in it what I wanted, however, that wasnt the case. It was a bit tricky to get everything to fit and you really have to think about where (above all things) you are going to mount the PSU and how you are going to mount it, I removed the PSU and GPU from my old build to work this out before stripping everything else out of my old system, I ended up using the SSD bracket at the front of the case and using the SFX-L to ATX bracket to mount it with the supplied stand-off's to the SSD bracket, this allowed me to then mount my pump res combo to the other side of the SSD bracket, overall this was about an hour and a half of work, once I knew these 3 parts would fit, the rest was easy, you just have to remember to fit things in a certain order, so for me it was motherboard, then any wiring required at the top of the board before fitting my radiator and fans as this then blocks any access to to top ports of the board, its the same situation for the bottom end of the board, make sure you wire everything up before fitting any fans and GPU in the bottom end of the case. Overall, im over the moon with this case, such a small footprint for such a large system and half the size of anything ive owed before, thank you Lian Li and OCuk: https://imgur.com/kVt8KtH
