@@martinmonsterbale1305absolutely agreed. It’s not a tall case by any means, but the length and GPU support etc is awesome. To be fair, with slim fans fitted to the thick radiator the Freezer III would’ve fit. The cooling wouldn’t have been quite as wholesome though
@@blatant6500 it wouldn’t, honestly. The IO shield was the smallest of any motherboard I own and it still wouldn’t clear by quite a long shot. Perhaps you had a motherboard which has a removable IO plate there could be a slim chance… or just fit slim fans to the Freezer III instead 🫡
PC part picker can really help you with some of this. They generally do the research to make sure components like coolers and other things fit inside cases. It is a good place to start, you can configure a system in a case and see if anything throws a conflict error.
@@AgentKenshin PC Part Picker wouldnt have caught this though (i know, because i have it in my build list right now). but its not big deal buying parts that dont fit. you just RMA them and get something else. Hopefully your existing PC still works though haha. because then yea, it does suck.
Hi Matt... You're excelling more and more with your videos every time. Really strong. 👍👍 I'm full of excitement and joy every time you post a new video. Love it 💯❤🙏
I just came across your channel as this was the first video on this case. Your production is insane!! I was able to fully understand this case, and loved the airflow section. Music on point as well. Only thing I'm still left curious about is if phanteks t30 fans would fit in this beauty.
Hey, I just started to watch your video and I couldn't wait to express this: How amazing was that introduction of your vide, I really loved it. Really original. Thank you for your amazing content.
Just ordered mine today with the wood front kinda excited to build it, Have to wait for the new Ultra core in Oct thats whats going to live in this one. Parts & Pieces till then. Remembering my 7 P's= Proper Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance. It was 10 yards to the outhouse by Doya Think He'll Make it Co Starring Betty Wont.
The song at the end is Nightcap - Fire (Instrumental Version). It's on Epidemic Sound, a service that licenses music for creators, and I would guess the other songs also from there.
Shhhhhh Matt. The dirty little secret is MATX is the sweet spot and since it isn't the most popular form factor you can save some bread by going with it over ATX or ITX. Soon as the manufacturers catch on they will raise the prices to match the trend. Let's keep it hush hush shall we?
Man! Love watching your videos! Love the case and the simple design. Also the Arctic P12 Max are awesome. I've a build with the Asus Prime AP201 and it is just super quiet and cool. 😎
Great vid as always ❤. So the case is a smaller AP201 with better fan support and looks more aesthetically better. Looks like I found the perfect case for the next build.
Such a clean build (as always) ! Arctic freezer 360 definitely have clearance issues in some cases (even bigger ones). But it performs great so they say.
Im glad I was wrong and it wasnt the deepcool ch160.. .The builld looks great Music was great also. I liked this one alot. And the price of the case at $69 is incredible. all around win.
Вы сделали большой рывок в качестве съемки! Мои поздравления! Раньше смотрел с удовольствием, сейчас просто ЖДУ НОВЫХ ВИДЕО! Это такой экстаз для перфекциониста. p.s. Корпус крутой но останусь верен своему ap201 🥷
your videos alway make me want to build everytime... but when I actually building a PC... I feel too tired everytime 🤣🤣🤣... Thank you again your vid complete my day 👍👍👍 EDITED - watched the end... you are not a good dancer LOL
I really hope they start making these more powerful cards in small form factor styles. I want to make an ITX build without sacrificing my GPU, and with the current sizes of the higher end GPUs that's almost impossible.
Seems like it would be a great case for air cooling. Plenty of air flow with all the panel perforations. And yeah i am a sucker for a tempered glass side panel which i think would be great as an ala carte addition if one so desires. Gotta see a little bling inside especially if its a MATX case ( and not a tiny airflow restricted SFF case).
At first, I thought that this was another Mini ITX only case. But this is exactly what I want for my next mATX build. I am a bit sad that it can't fit the sweet baby Arctic Liquid Freezer III at least the 240 or 360mm. For 280mm I was already certain that it wouldn't fit =)). I wish they made the case a little wider to fit those thick boys from Arctic‚ both the 240/360 and 280mm.
Hey Matt, I love your clean and minimalistic builds and this one is no exception. However, I noticed that this build has a -ve airflow (more air out than in) which will result in more than usual dust build up over time. This is why a +ve airflow is the ideal way to counter this issue which also allows more cool air coming inside for better cooling. Also, since there are no intake fans in the front and the bottom fans have been covered by the the gpu, there is no direct cool airflow coming towards the motherboard which I think is not ideal. Wouldn't it be better if the rear exhaust fan is flipped to act as an intake fan which will result in a +ve airflow in the case and better cooling ? Or am I missing something ?
Thanks for the amazing video! I have been looking for a very nice SFF case my old case is to big! Looks wonderful for what I want so I can finally put a case on my desk!
@@mihaibitza5021I hope you got it!! I just ordered the white version A3 Lian Li case as I’m building a budget itx pc for my wife to use for work and school !!
The video was superb quality, top-notch no doubt! and I REALLY LOVED the case but I have a burning question, what is the song or the artist you used? I feel like that was a really nice cherry on the cake
It looks excellent functionally just wish it was a bit more interesting aesthetically. They’ve done well to hit a very competitive price point and it shows in the materials (steel) but that’s fine. Maybe wish that front panel was a bit more interesting. I am being picky I know.
Man I wish this was available when I built my current rig last year. I thought having the biggest case and more upgrade options would be fantastic, but it's such a hassle to do anything with because it's so massive. A small form factor is what I'll probably do next and this case looks great, though I am concerned about GPU clearance so I'll have to double check on that when the time comes if I go with this case. I currently use a 4-slot 4090 and it definitely doesn't seem like it'd fit here.
Sent here by the Algorithm. Did not disappoint. This asthetic is pragmatic, elegant and minimalistic - love it! Great production 👌🏻 Personally I have a requirement for an additional PCIe lane with two rear panel slots (audio production card)... any case recommendations that approximate the A3 and would fit the audio card? Cheers
design is nice. m-atx also nice. price around 70€ in germany, this will rock the SFF market for sure. though, i would never use a case with these small wholes mesh designs. that will result in higher rpms because of the restricting materials. i dont like rpm and noise at all. love to see how these SFF builds are made, my thing is more like DA6 XL open Case build... with noctua NH-P1
To answer the question “Will the Arctic Freezer III 360 fit in this case?”…. 💀
Crazy how much fits but also how small they’ve made that case
@@martinmonsterbale1305absolutely agreed. It’s not a tall case by any means, but the length and GPU support etc is awesome. To be fair, with slim fans fitted to the thick radiator the Freezer III would’ve fit. The cooling wouldn’t have been quite as wholesome though
tbh, i do think it would fit. Maybe if the motherboard has an less taller io shield?

@@Mr_Matt_Lee maybe slim fans would have cleared it? Some of those 15-20mm thin ones 🤔
exactly what we need more of! budget-friendly, small mATX cases like this!!!!!
Yessss! You so know it ✌️
And psu's 😂
I think the expensive part is still the mobo!
@@Surfer42yeah I regret buying my ITX mobo for $450 just to house a 13600kf in a A4H20 lmaoo but it’s a overspecced MB at least

My favorite part of your videos is the airflow visualization. It’s so useful to see. Awesome work.
Always answers the question when you see that phat ass GPU installed
This guys editing is next level, no other tech youtuber can compare
Yes more matx!!! These builds look so good
I’m literally obsessed with mATX at this point and feel my channel is becoming solely about them 😅✌️
@@Mr_Matt_Lee matx is the way brother! Especially if you dont need the additional features of a full atx and itx mobos are expensive.
That Inception level transition 😍😍
Heck yes! It took 3 hours for somebody to drop a comment referencing the intro transition, but here you are and I’m stoked! 😄👏
brilliantly done Matt
Buying parts that end up not fitting is genuinely one of my biggest fears, lol. Another amazing build. I like this trend of small, compact PCs.
It’s a good thing that I I did it so you didn’t have to 😅💀 I agree though!

Much love From Australia Matt. Bringing a minimalist cinematic to the video is so good - Love your videos mate
Thank you 😄 Much love back at you from the UK my friend!
Yes, mATX in SFF!!!
Liking the stealth build with a sprinkle of RGB. 👍 👍
Yessss! My ideal setup too, accent RGB without overpowering 🤌
I Love Small Cases it makes the desk clean and good to look at. ❤
Damn thats a sick case, great video on this one. I love how you go over the cooling configurations in a clear and concise matter.
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoy those sections of the videos as they take quite a lot of time to film and annotate 👌
the quality of this video was superb loved all the transitions great video
such a neat build and airflow path chosen by Lian li for this very clever and very practical.. no nonsense RGBs in sight.
Yessir! 👌 The design has been really well defined that’s for sure.
Just want to say that the production value in your videos are through the roof. Great job.
Ah the weekly dose of chill pc building vids… thanks bro!
It’s a touch later than the usual upload but hopefully worth the wait 🤞
Absolutely spot on choice of components, and a very nice build. Going to buy one (even though not needed!) based entirely upon your video.
Best PC build channel on TH-cam.
Be a case worth looking at to do a build for a younger brother.
Great stuff as always 👊
The case is small, but what's inside is a beast.

Love it. I have the C4 SFX and love it so much. Its the best case in my Opinion!
Glad to see the GPU has a whole 1.6789mm clearance before rubbing against the intake fans.
Finally it's here, thanks matt .. great build.
Please make air cooled build too.
Awesome video💙
It hey had a better looking front panel with some mesh, this tower would be pretty much perfect.
Cool intro and nice build. All that was missing was you pointing at yourself when you saw yourself on screen 😎
Man! Love watching your videos!
Love the case and the simple design. Also the Arctic P12 Max are awesome. I've a build with the Asus Prime AP201 and it is just super quiet and cool. 😎
I can’t stop thinking about to put a big air cooler inside like the deepcool assassin 4, beautiful, quiet…
11:00 if after this the case has not yet broken, then it is a good case)))))
Accidental torture testing - PASS ✔️😅
Damn it's beautiful. I kinda wish the stripes on the front were made of wood, would look awesome. Great video, thank U
Nice build as always but the case it self is kinda like Asus AP201 or Jonsbo D31. 🙂
Great vid as always ❤. So the case is a smaller AP201 with better fan support and looks more aesthetically better. Looks like I found the perfect case for the next build.

@@Mr_Matt_Lee well, u r an amazing builder & creator tho! 🤩
I'm impressed you can have a 3 slot card and still fit some fans underneath it.

Custom loop?! That's the most intriguing question!

Mannnn so many strong choices and only one PC build to make 💀 I’d say all of them because… yes?
