Micro-ATX PC case releases

Overview

In late July 2026, Cooler Master introduced the Q300L V3, a $45 micro‑ATX chassis aimed at budget builders. The case features a 15.2‑inch square footprint, dual‑orientation mounting, a modular front panel with USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type‑C, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type‑A ports, and a headset combo jack, plus a rear 140 mm exhaust fan and a power‑supply mount designed for low‑profile installation.

A week later, Lian Li partnered with German designer DAN Cases to launch the B4-mATX, priced at $69.99. This chassis also supports horizontal or vertical placement but adds premium touches such as a reversible 120 mm fan basket, a semi‑concealed power‑cable connector, a single four‑pole headset combo jack, USB 3.2 Type‑A (Gen 1) and USB‑C (Gen 2×2) ports, removable filters, and optional wood‑accented trim kits. Reviewers note the case’s flexibility comes with a need for careful component planning, positioning it as a higher‑priced, more feature‑rich alternative to the earlier Cooler Master offering.
