DAN A4-SFX: The smallest gaming case in the world

Zurec said:
Got my A4 delivered yesterday. Its really impressive to see that even the box it came in is smaller than the majority of cases out there. Here it is in comparison to the already really small Ncase M1:

Sadly i won't be able to start my build directly, as i will need to gather additional parts. It will be an X99 build however (again :whistle:) , a 12 core Xeon Workstation in a shoebox sized case would be really cool...

Dan really delivered a great case here, hope he isn't too exhausted now.

Man I've really been on the edge about getting one of these to downsize my NCase build. Pricing has me second guessing myself right now but these pictures are like the devil on my shoulder saying "it's only money" lol.
 
Hi Dondan,

I have a black A4 ordered, is it possible to go for a Silver one instead?

Thx

That is the worst photo upload site I've ever seen! It shows a popup directly in front of the image. Just use imgur, man!

I’m so jealous :banghead: :cry:
it’s not easy after getting married but I’ll try to get the next version
 
It would be cool if the LED's could change color based on the temperature. Blue when started to red if temps are getting to high. I assume that with the audrino you can get a tempurature sensor and do this.

+1.. yeah that would be cool

The case isn't available yet on overclockers.co.uk. It'll likely show up on the 1st, right?

Yeah im hoping its the first anyway
You can subscribe on dans website and youll get an email when its on sale
 
Ehy thanks already did:) I'm just a little impatient I guess..!

It's incredible though, I had a big change of heart. I'm guess I'm going to sell my Ncase M1 which I have yet to receive lol!

Just a little too impatient. He's posted a countdown on his site.
 
Does anybody have any idea if the MSI r9 390 will fit in the a4 because the gpu is a 2.5slot thick card

MSI specifies that card is 51mm thick and the dan-cases website specs max graphics card width as 45mm. So, the card is about half a cm too thick.
 
lol did you miss the neon years? :)
the pc shop I work at for years and years in the early '00s were the only official dealer in our area for street glow car kits because we got so many requests for neon in PCs. you could/can modify any 12v car product to pc with a simple molex cable. its like the fast and furious for you computer!
edit: we even had rgb led kits in 2006-7
 
Well, you cant use it that way. Hardforum automatically implements it in a weird way.

Link to spreadsheet

I hadn't realized there's no way to open the embedded sheet in a new tab.

You can resize the embed but it's a pain.

Maybe put the link to the sheet in the sheet itself just to be safe?
 
Thats true. Sadly hardforum.com is one of these places where it's necessary :(
 
Select/mark the text in the editor, hit the Link button, paste link.

Are the NA kickstarters going to get their shipments before people who buy from overclockers? Because at this rate they wont.

On one hand, the idea of this happening perturbs me. On the other hand, if it was cheaper or saved time because of the shipping allocations he set up, I can understand.

I still want my case asap.

Think of it this way; If you have a Kickstarter spot, you are sure to get your case...
If you wait for overclockers, you can get it sooner or miss it and wait another few months

The potential downside as well is overclockers may not ship with dhl, dhl import ancillary fees are among the highest of all express couriers.

Dan said on many occasions that the kickstarter backers would get their cases first, and the remainder will go then to the resellers. So I'm guessing it would be impossible to get your case thru a reseller first. However, I've been wrong before :D.

Guys, this project is up since 2015. Does it really matter if we get our pc case a weak oder two later? I mean, we funded this project to make this possible and that's what matters, right?
