Lian-Li A4-H2O Black SPCC/Aluminum Mini-ITX Computer Case, PCI4.0 Riser Card Cable Included - A4-H2O X4 BLACK

Product Information

The tiny case has a particularly small footprint and is therefore perfect for use as a gaming PC or console alternative. An internal brace prevents the tubing from running in front of the power supply as suggested earlier, but the power supply sits low enough to allow a kink-free bend for the water block to the radiator mount up top. Also noteworthy is that the vents on the panels are of classic size and not the smaller holes we have seen on many recent enclosures, like the ssupd Meshlicious, for example. As a result, we’d recommend using a 240mm (2x120mm) radiator with the lines exiting in front of the power supply, provided that its liquid lines are lengthier. This Mini-ITX chassis has an incredibly small footprint, making it ideal for use as either a gaming PC or a console alternative.

of course, this would mean no dGPU (except in perhaps particularly unique / niche situations) and the need to use an external AC adapter as the PSU.

These provide excellent natural airflow and work perfectly with the AiO cooler to keep your gaming PC at the optimal temperature. Depending on the choice of power supply, and more importantly the length of the GPU, it may become less accessible. The A4-H2O makes a good fit to follow our Terra review then, since it’s a more ‘traditional’ ITX design.The removable bottom panel is a helpful feature in that respect, but ultimately has limits as to how much it can help. There is ample ventilation throughout the Lian Li x DAN Case A4-H2O thanks to the fine mesh featured on the side and top panels. However, given you do profesional work, performance in those applications should be your first priority over upgrades down the line. After half a year one of my ram sticks were at fault for causing blue screens, just unfortunate luck and got a replacement.

The "front panel" ports are located at the leading edge of the A4-H2O’s left side, and include both a Type-A and Type-C port connected to proper Gen 1 and Gen 2 header cables.Moving our card to the outer position had significant thermal benefit and no objective acoustic change.

Compacting the components this close together leaves the user with very limited areas to shove or tie up cables.

Removing the front panel provides a wide opening at the front to insert larger graphics card into the case with ease. What I found particularly good was that I didn't have to assemble the case from individual parts first. The main difference is in the H2O part – the ability to mount a 240mm liquid cooler radiator in the top of the case.After that, it just worked with no problems so far msi motherboard is very beginner friendly, when I was installing bios it instantly detected it and booted straight to windows without having to select a drive. Having seen the case prototype "reviewed" by outlets, one can safely say that those cannot be considered relevant reviews anymore as the chassis has changed considerably since then.
