Lian Li A4-H2O vs NZXT H210i

Lian Li A4 H2O gets my seal of approval 👍. Good build quality, easy to work with, not too big, good pricing (with pcie 4.0 cable included), no major flaws unlike all other ITX cases that i have used so far.

The case has a few build quality control issues. The screws for example strip easily and are made of a crummy material (they're very cheap). In trying to get the radiator panel off the screw on the back stripped completely and I was unable to remove it which would have made the build go even smoother for cable management and such. Also, screws are insanely tight when you receive the case so just be careful as you unscrew them

The media could not be loaded. Overall this case is really well made. Best part is it fits in my backpack for carry on flights. Aio fitment is a bit of a challenge but so far the NZXT x53 cracken and Corsair H100i Capellix fit when tubes are routed over ram and under power supply (in picture

I am really happy with this case. Very similar to a mid tower, just smaller. I wanted this size of case so that it would fit under my custom desk easier. ITX builds are sometimes a compromise but this one allowed me to do a 240mm AIO for CPU and a 120mm AIO on the GPU, bot in push pull

So did that, got this in the front door, everything fits, although, you know, as you can also see at the bottom of the case here, I will have some lit...

This is a small form factor case so some of these things should be expected and a lot of these would be eliminated with the use of a dual fan radiator but it might take away room need for some larger GPU cards. There is not much cooling getting to the back of the phantom itx mobo so if you use this board get your m.2 module with a low profile heatsink as there is not much room back there or buy one to add to it. Lastly the module that controls the ”i” part of this is well, just look for Gamers Nexus review of CAM ANR on YouTube

And the side panels are not a significant barrier, as you can see. On the GPU side, it is also very well controlled because of the exhaust. So no heat...

Pro number one, the H210i fits both small form factor, SFF for short, and regular ATX power supplies. The removable bracket at the rear means you can ...

99. The A4 HTO features four removable aluminium panels, the one on the top is 2mm thick, while the ones on the side and the front are 1.5mm thick. Ta...

The build quality, and fit/finish are simply excellent. If it is not abundantly clear at this point, I simply love this case!
