Lian Li Adds New Wooden Edition to the DAN Case A3 Range
Designed by Dan Hansen and engineered by Lian Li, the new DAN Case Wooden Edition takes everything great about the DAN Case A3 series, including the minimalist design and small form factor, and adds elegant wooden features to elevate any gaming set up.
Minimalist Exterior
The standout feature for the Lian Li DAN Case A3 is the front panel. While the current range hosts a solid plastic panel with a sleek geometric design, the new Wooden Edition swaps out the plastic for wooden slats over the fine mesh. This creates a touch of warmth to the minimalist case whilst keeping an optimized design for cooling.
It's bigger on the inside
The Lian Li DAN Case A3 is renowned for being a small form factor case with plenty of space to build in, including its ability to fit the latest 40 series GPUs alongside both Mini-ITX and Micro-ITX motherboards. The case can also be configured to support ATX, SFX-L and Lian Li Edge PSUs up to 220 mm long.
Never compromise on cooling
Cooling is always a priority for Lian Li and the DAN Case A3 is no different. The case has 10 x 120 mm fan mounting points, combined with mesh panels on the top and side, and three locations for radiators up to 360 mm. The top and side can accommodate a push-pull configuration, with the bottom supporting a push layout with fans mounted on the underside of the radiator.

All my computer desks (3) as well as my 2x garage workbenches are 10yr old solid Oak, with a Marine-grade Epoxy/Urethane finish, and weigh a ton, but are damn near indestructible :)
This, is just cost engineered, influencer marketed, scrap metal (and a little wood/veneer).
I have one of these A3's in flat black, built a machine in August using it. I have the GPU horizontally mounted with 2 120mm fans blowing up from the bottom (1 directly below the GPU) and 2 140mm fans on top. All of the fans are Be Quiet! brand and are spinning at less than 1000 rpm by default. I don't have a super high powered GPU or CPU in the machine (it was built to replace a very old Dell workstation, primarily used for online school use.) It's nearly whisper quiet when running and stays quite cool, even in an upstairs loft area that regularly gets up to over 80 degrees F right now.
I'm wondering if it will be possible to purchase just the wooden front panel by itself. The front of the case along with both sides and the top easily snap on and off. Changing those parts out for different ones only takes a few seconds to do.
