It's like you said, we've been waiting since 2015. We originally were going to get shipping information in December 2016. It's just an amazing case and people have been very patient waiting for it. As the final weeks come to a close most people need an update that's all. No offense to Dan though, he's been pretty transparent about the process from the get go.
I'm in EU and still didn't get shippment notice. there is no reason to "panic". will get there ...
Case is 112mm wide.
Oops, sorry i meant an 80mm rad with 2 fans on the ends. https://modmymods.com/media/catalog...78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/3/5/35490_0.jpg
You also need to consider the modular cables connecting from the bottom of the psu.
Thought of that, i think it would be an interesting challenge, going watercooled does get rid of gpu heatsink and cpu heasink, there is some promising space to use granted you can stuff a decent radiator below the psu.
I've researched this for fun times. First, the Apogee pump/block combo is too tall at ~53mm unless you get the acrylic window mod. You need to use a low profile cpu block + fittings, which can be done several ways. The only possible way I've found to do a legit cpu loop is with either a short 1060 (lame) or with a Fury Nano. With a short GPU you can mount a slim 120mm rad with slim fan behind the PSU. In order to do a full loop you'd need at least a dual 80mm rad in addition or you'd overheat quickly. A small pump like the Alphacool DC-LT could be mounted where ever space could be found. This is all speculation and I won't be able to actually assess the possibility of watercooling until I have my case in front of me. But like you said, wishful thinking.
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) , 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.
Powder coating, no. Plastidip, yes.
The anodized surface is good enough for me.
My endgame is a polar white build with green LEDs and a Planck board to match.
oh for sure. However for that temporary change in color scheme, Plastidip will give you that temporary coloring with durability to match, not to mention some protection against scratches to the aluminum.
I've just never been a big fan of plastidip or vinyl wrap, just not durable enough for me... I would like a powder-coat or a hard anodized surface but that tends to be expensive unfortunately.
Thank you
but no luck for me for now. They refuse to mail me pricing because im not a corporate. "i don;t belive your application is really in line with our business. We are a mass-production company that sells our thermal ...b la bla bla"
If that cooler would perform significantly(25°C less) better than the Noctua, I would buy one. Price would not matter that much.
