Direct-touch heatpipes do save z-height and weight over a large metal block on all sides. I would think they would still be a good choice if they have good conduction across the top and sides. The processors glued-on heatspreader can be thought of as the bottom block but more mass would always...

I think it would be good if he made it able to hold more storage, or have ducted airflow for air-cooling users. The video card is able to breath outside air in the C4-H2O, but the processor cooler could be obstructed when using air cooling. The obstructed cooler is also deep inside the case...

It looks like you can get single 240 radiator support, with 25 mm fan clearance, in a case from Lian Li already. It is about 19 liters, but It could be cut down by a couple liters by a skilled CAD user like DAN. http://www.lian-li.com/en/dt_portfolio/pc-q38/...

Asus will release AM4 Mitx, unless the past can not predict the future. Mitx is close to a laptop with huge expansion possibility, and we always see a lot of work on the motherboards compared to the almost cookie-cutter Micro-ATX boards. You want all your parts to be bought so that the return...

While it shipped on the motherboard side, I thought the pictures of the case had the PCIe ribbon on the GPU side. I thought this was an important detail due to backside M.2 card slots on most Mini-ITX motherboards. Even if the ribbon would still fit past an installed M.2 drive, it could...

The Wallye Duffle is much larger then the Dan A4-SFX. The Tenba BYOB 13 is the right size, and is about half the volume of the Wallye. https://www.amazon.com/Tenba-636-224-BYOB-13-Camera/dp/B00KT7G9UY The Lowepro Event Messanger 250 is also the right size if you cut out the tablet pocket. This...

It looks like you ruptured the central vapor chamber of the AMD Ryzen spire processor cooler. Have you looked at your temperatures since you made this modification?

This pushes the next Dancase A4-SFX order/kickstarter into the late summer, or will the two be seperate?

I have been loving the case since I got it a week ago. Having full desktop power in a camera bag (Tenba BYOB 13) is fantastic on the go. A photo shoot always already has nice IPS monitors. I bet the "pro" photographer would love to have a full-speed Photoshop computer, with 3+ drives, that fit...

If the bar between the two expansion slots is not needed structurally, then it should be eliminated. This small piece of metal blocks a lot of vent area on the Nvidia reference cards. Edit: The removal of this bar would give the GTX 1080 Founders Edition 46% more vent area. (17 of 54 triangular...

The important point was that he can get a box while he waits for the next A4-SFX case funding and manufacturing run. Perhaps the Raijintech Metis would be a better cheap placeholder case ($35-70). https://hardforum.com/threads/raijintek-metis-itx-build-log.1841126/

It is really difficult for you that you did not get what you want. You can not blame the artist for the concert selling out. Many people who have not been able to get hot cases get a cheap placeholder case, or DIY something to avoid wasting money. If you get a case that uses a full ATX power...

How could the same Noctua a9x14 fan make less noise on the Thermolab LP53 then it makes on the Nexus Low 7000 R2? I would think that the Nexus would make less noise at the same fan RPM, as the fan would be further from the side panel. I would also think that the Low 7000 would need a lower fan...

Have you ever tried Plasti Dip?

Please let us know how A4-SFX fits in the Lowepro Event Messenger 250 after the tablet pouch is removed. It may give the needed few millimeters so that I do not have to push or shake to get the computer to fit each time. I do not want to cut out my tablet pouch as I had hoped to use it for a...
