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

dondan
So between these low profile 120mm PWM fans:

1-Prolimatech ultra sleek vortex 12
2-Akasa ak-fn078
3-Scythe SY1212SL12H-P 4-pin

Which on is recomended for the Nexus/cooljag mod or for the HSLP-48 ?

Looks great! Two question though:

- Is it worth it to change the fan of the Cryorig to the TY-100?
- Do you still have the 450W power supply and its enough to power the TI?

edit: Found your comment about the fan :)

Definitely worth it, but I have not tried any other fans.
I am still using the 450W other people are using a similar config and have had no problems and I cannot OC this card unless I find another way to deal with the heat and noise. It's like a jet engine...
 
People should size their fan to fit the heatsink, and not be bigger, because most of the air pressure comes from the tips of the fan blades, not the center!

Not good i tested the fan in the past on an axp 100. The fan is too slow, has a bad air pressure and is too big for the c7. Too much air will move not through the heatsink.

hopefully he will be able to offer one to non german speakers elsewhere in the world. with the current side panels though, they don't see wide enough to accomodate 3 slot gpus? and for CPU coolers, maybe another 5mm at the most?

I am one of those who participated in this order. Duke00 said he'll maybe offer a second opportunity for collective order. But I don't know if he will then also offer international shipping...

RePost! Big Update:

Today I got some preview shots of the DAN Cases A4-SFX v2 with Window Kit installed. I will make a poll where you can decide between dan cutout or slot cutout for the final design:


(Lian Li forgott so screw the panels so the panels sack)

Here you can see the new cutout for Asetec 92mm AIO or a 92mm fan. Also the new screwed rubber feets are attached:

Here you can see the slot cover:

And some pictures of the new cartons:

Lian Li will ship the sample with DHL express tomorrow, so I will have it next week. Today I got my Asetec 92mm AIO for testing and shooting with V2.

With best regards
Daniel

P.S.: 1080ti strix ;)

I'd like to have those too. Even without rising frame. I like them look much more and I think they give you better cooling efficiency due to increased vent area. Actually, I'd prefer to just get files so I could print them somewhere by myself. Would not he may be like to share those files pretty please?
 
Hey Guys,
cause of i dont do this for an profit, i dont plan a international shipping. if there will be a second order is not sure. Sry for that ^^

I switched mine out for a LiHeat riser (300mm D.type).

3M on the left, LiHeat on the right:

Same mounting dimensions:

Fits fine and doesn't show through top of case:

Is the quality as good as the 3M? Probably not. But it works for me.

It's 2.5 slots, so too thick to fit in the Dan A4 without hitting the side panel.

Only a few aftermarket cards fit. The top-top end are all 2.5 or 3 slots.

I got the Gigabyte Gaming OC 1080 Ti but it has really bad coil whine. Paired with a 7700K and SF600 if anyone was looking at the same sorta power usage that might produce the same whine.

Sorry to hear about your GPU coil whine issues. Gigabyte from what I have read and experienced myself, has a pretty bad record when it comes to coil whine compared to the other aftermarket GPU manufacturers.
 
About the wobbling power button. I think I have found a way to fix it. I've noticed that the switch itself is not that wobbly. The bare power switch actually gives you a really good confident pushing clicking sensation. Just like any other PC case in the world. But you loose this sensation with the front cover on. Its getting all wobbly. Why? Some thing must blocking it. What's that? And I guess I've found the answer. It's the spring. Yes. You have to get rid of the spring in order to get that confident pushing clicking sensation back. Screw out the power button (the outer button, not the inner switch!). Toss out the spring. Screw in the power button back. Check if the button tends to fall out without a spring. If so, just a little bit bend that little thingie that holds the button in place. Put your whole cover back on the case. Enjoy your power button giving you that really confident pushing clicking sensation.
 
What is THE CPU cooler to get at the moment? Won't be getting my case till whenever the second batch comes in (is the July 1 date on overclockers.uk placeholder or is that the earliest they'll be back?). Any cheap cases/setups people recommend that I can use temporarily until the Dan case shows up (hope to fit a 1080ti FTW3 if it fits at all)?

Thermolab, correct? Anything specific I should know about mounting/etc.?

Check out the review thread on that cooler in the cooling Sub forum. There is a lot of info in this cooler and mounting it, orientation, etc. over there and in this thread.
