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...

The Lowepro Event Messenger 250 is also a tight AF fit. It is like they made the offical messurments before they added the padding. The A4-SFX does fit the bag, but it takes a little push. It has an exterior pocket that is enough for everything but a keyboard. The internal 13" laptop/tablet...

Fantastic news! (Pictures please) What motherboard are you using? I have the Asus Maximus Impact VIiI. Am am using the C7 cooler now, as I need to cut 5 mm off the top of the (excessively-huge) VRM heatsink to get the Nexus Low 7000 R2 to fit. Now I am concerned about the mounting hardware...

How do you plan on mounting the AXP-100 to the AM4 socket? I doubt that they are making an updated mount and selling it boxed.

It is looking like the case can hold coolers that can cool 95 watt chips. If you demand silence and 95+ watts, you may need to look for lesser-known and more-expensive cooling. There is a link posted many times in the above thread to a Google Doc that has a few tests, but it lacks columns for...

This item is a M.2 slot to U.2 drive end of cable. This is a render of a ribbon cable version of what Intel and others produce. It is cool that it is a ribbon cable for any SFF Intel 750 SSD users...

It sounds like you have a couple of the suggested coolers already. Looking carefully at the construction and mounting system of the Arctic Freezer 11 LP, I think you should not buy the cooler. The fan frame also holds the screws for mounting the cooler to the plastic push-pin feet. Once you...

It looks like the Arctic Freezer 11 LP has a similar design to the Noctua L9i. They both have a copper block that contacts the CPU top that has a pyramidal cross-section. They both use two heat pipes that touch the side of the copper block and move the heat to higher outside fins. The fins are...

It is too tall for the case, at 52 mm.

I think that it would be good to just include the clips with all the new retail-boxed fans produced. The Noctua fans are already known for including everything that you might need to use the fan. I think that all come with screws and rubber mounts. They come with a couple of inline resistors to...

You would need the details of the exact PSU and motherboard combination. The PSUs have connectors across the 100 mm center of the back. The motherboards have the 24-pin power connectors on the top or the back edge. The CPU power can be next to it, or anywhere around the middle of the board.

He does not want to be post 1670 when he gets his case.

Could the delay-causing parts be drop-shipped to the customer for them to assemble? The end users of this product are already experts with a screwdriver and could probably add the switch, USB port(s), and PCIe extension cable. Good to see an expert weighting into the thread. I love the...

I hope that it is good. The only review of a recent GeChic did not look promising as a PC gaming monitor. I think they are coloring the 1101F like the Super Famicom because it is for console gaming.

The problem with the SF600 cables is that the mid-wire SATA power uses a T-shaped connector. This means that the cable will run into the case wall or floor and put pressure on the drive's connector. Cablemod uses a straight-in-and-out connector that works better in tight spaces.

We need dust filter sides to put into our new beautiful builds. They could either magnetic with adhesive steel bars or ones that snap-in to the hole pattern on the sides. Glass can come any day. I am not sure the glass is going to be a big seller with the current Dancase A4 buyers as it makes...
