The build quality is top notch, yubikey. I also don't think any of the alternatives currently being prototyped would make me regret buying into a Dan A4 SFX now. It has the most elegant design of anything here, IMHO. I kickstarted the case in June of last year, and I think the timing for the...

Hey, I have a question. I'm pretty new to fan profiles and stuff. My cooler is a Noctua NH-L9i. I have a fan profile for my CPU that goes as follows: 0-40C = no fan 40-55C = 30% 55-65C = 60% 65-70C = rapid ramp from 60% to 100% I'm using my computer with an ambient temperature of about 25C and...

Truly an amazing small form factor build there, Cerulean. Living room PC?

Hey Dan, If you're thinking about options for V2 of the case, a fan mounting option on the GPU side panel near the power supply would be great. It doesn't have to be much -- just screw holes. Reason being that with shorter video cards, there's empty space there. The fan could be used as...

Lucky you! I'm the guy who shared his tracking information. I'm in Melbourne too. Hasn't arrived yet, but I'm confident it'll be here this afternoon or tomorrow. Edit: Just got my case as I posted this. It's beautiful! To the other backers waiting, it'll be worth the wait!

Wow, fantastic use of space, and ingenious in the way a heatsink occupies the space left between the fan and the case edge. By the way, powerful only has a single L in it. You might want to fix the thread title.

I think pretty slim. From what I gather, the July batch would need to be in production about now and Dan hasn't shown us any V2 stuff. More likely, stuff like dealing with the gap above the PCI-E slot (something mentioned by Linus).

Yes, good point. It's really not worth getting excited over.

Don't forget about H270. Gigabyte's H270N is a nice upgrade over the H170N (support for 2400 MHz RAM profiles).

While I appreciate that CAS latency is important to some, I think the benefits of increased RAM speed with DDR4 (both clock rate and access time) are negligible. I would only do it if there were some compatibility issue. I'm using this setup: Intel released an M.2 version of the 750 series...

Thanks for the great advice, repentsinner. Where I live, a 2400MHz 32GB Corsair kit is strangely cheaper than a 2133MHz one ($249 v/s $280). That's the only reason I chose it. I don't mind leaving performance on the table if I'm not paying for it. Do I need to bother with timings? AFAIK, the...

I am not a graphic artist or a 3D modeller. I'm a software developer and expect to run multiple virtual machines. It used to be Windows VMs for IE, but nowadays just Linux VMs (for different purposes). Regarding the 1070 thing, I was strongly considering it, but a 1060 is fine for my purposes...

Thank you, everyone for the great hardware advice in this thread. This is the parts list for my build: Case: Dan A4 SFX Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H170N-WIFI Processor: Intel Core i7-6700 Cooler: Noctua NH-L9i Memory: Corsair Vengeance Red 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4-2400 Storage: Intel 750 Series 400GB...

Hello, Brand new forum member here. I want to upgrade my current PC. I've had it for a fair while now. It's still working and does everything I need it to, but I want something smaller, snappier and quieter. I'm going for a small form factor build with off-the-shelf parts. 1. What will you be...
