#lianli #pcbuild #asuspcdiy - It's time for the A3 to step aside... it's time for a new player to enter! Compact size, oozing with style... it's time for the B4!
Timecodes, though I don't recommend skipping for visual narrative reasons! (Quality headphones or speakers recommended throughout)

If there's one thing we can count on Lian Li for it's producing a quality case. The A3 has stood the test of time over the last few years with many build features on the channel, and the B4 already promises to follow suit.
Coming in at 5 litres smaller than the A3, the new B4 certainly feels much more compact that's for sure. With a smaller size comes a more challenging build process, but we enjoyed this aspect. Trying to keep the B4 as small as possible, the all-mesh approach retained the primary footprint whilst keeping the system well ventillated.
If vertical is your preference, the Lian Li B4 makes the process easy, though I'd recommend this orientation more for those seeking liquid cooling as the airflow path would be better!

What it means for a case to be 'Small Form Factor' is a category to be taken with a pinch of salt in 2026. However, for Micro ATX, the Lian Li B4 truly does feel like a proper small form factor case. With that comes a few compromises, but working within the build limitations opens the door for a very fun assembly process for sure!
Lian Li x Dan Cases B4 has been a real treat to build with. Could you see yourself with the B4 on your desk? Would you go horizontal or vertical? Let's chat in the comments!
