Wow, thanks for creating that so quickly! Geez Node 304 really is kind of huge! And to think that when I first got into computers I was set on getting the bitfenix prodigy
with over 1k plus backers holy crap!!!! yeah boyy!!3mins ago, the kick starter just hit over 300k
I remember some people saying "the dan a4 mini itx case is definitely not going to sellout and just sit there on kick starter like the ncase m1 did, trust me! There's a very little market for that type of pc case blah, blah. It's gonna take months before it does etc. etc."
well, well, well. Them people are wrong as hell haha
I'll be the first to admit that it's sold faster than I expected, but my point still stands that there wasn't going to be any panic to be in the first group. People were acting as if they'd miss the window if they weren't on the Kickstarter right when it opened.About 390 cases leftHas it sold out yet? I'm pretty sure there's about 600 cases left right now.
Also, with a lot of Kickstarters you see huge numbers the first couple days and then it winds down a bit until the last few days. But yes, they're selling faster than I expected.
Anyway, with the wild success of the campaign, I'm just glad that there's such a well-defined scope of the project. A lot of the big failures occur when demand far exceeds what the company is able to handle or when the scope keeps expanding to meet the increased funding, and the hard limit on the number of cases for this campaign should be a good thing to prevent that.
No, there is a total of 1700 cases.About 390 cases left
A lot of board partners are building taller PCB's.
I don't think anyone was panicking.Has it sold out yet? I'm pretty sure there's about 600 cases left right now.

Ah yes, forgot to take into the account of the extra 200.
.
The next cases you then will be interested in will be the <4L realm that allows for small-itx up to 180mm graphics cards such as Hahutzy's project. If flex-atx psus, get standardized in their dimensions and more are available, 'big' UCSFF cases will become decently popular.
Yeah, no thanks. Was looking at these two (Sentry and Dan's case) because they're the smallest cases I've seen that can still house a full size GPU. Thanks though.
I decided to go with Dan's case since the Sentry should be more easily acquired down the road, and even though the sentry is technically smaller, the shape makes it feel bigger to me.
STX might be interesting in a year or two.
Well the Sentry is only 2.5" wide ... so it can fit into things like backpacks and whatnot. But the Dan case, despite its size, appears to fit cards that are a bit bigger than reference, if that compatibility list is accurate. The Sentry can fit reference only. The Dan case also costs twice as much. But the extra room for slightly bigger cards might be worth it. I'm still undecided. >_>
The A4 is only 4.5" wide, it'll fit fine in a backpack.
I'll be using a C7, but if I'm not happy with temps I might try to get my hands on a LP53.
Interesting, I hadn't considered that.
My 3570K @ 4.1 got the hottest while I played Civ V online (aside from benchmarking/ torture testing)
