Thanks man, depending on if dondan RMA process works or not I might have to try those 3d printed onesmcheddadi There are some 3d printable models available here, which include replacement clips https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2204133

Although I agree of the RMA being a bit overkill, dondan linked him the rma page of his website in response to his question about the clips.It's just fastening clips, RMA seems a very overkill process. Let alone bothering to reach Dan for this.
I broke one of these clips trying to pry it out of my Ncase because of space needed for a tall Gfx card.
5 clip sets in stock at overclockers (female side should fit).

www.Caseking.de also has them.
Does the v2 not support 15mm drives in the drive bay? Or is that only an issue with v3? When I backed the v2 Kickstarter, it said that it did, and that is a pretty big deal to me as internal storage options are limited otherwise with the biggest standard 2.5" drives being 2TB.Hi guys here are all changes for A4-SFX v4
- ADT 185mm PCIe x16 gen 3 riser
- USB 3.0 Typ-C to 20pin intrnal header (90% confirmed)
- changed to the drive bay so it will support 15mm thick drives
- added thread for easy installation of custom window kits
- adding 92mm fan support under the motherboard
- lifting up motherboard for better bottom fan clearance
- the 120mm AIO bracket will not be included and an optional part on SFFLab

I have some concerns regarding compatibility, thought you guys would know better than anyone how to answer them.
I have an A4-SFX v2 I got from Kickstarter but have yet to build anything in.
Also, what are the exact dimensions of the Cooltek LP53 including the heatpipes?
As you might be able to tell, this is my first SFF build, and I want to make sure I don't order the wrong parts and end up having to return them because they won't fit together..
This is cute and all, but I just don't understand why everyone is freaking out about tiny cases. Just put the Full Tower on the floor where it belongs, and it doesn't take up any deks space. Size is suddenly not an issue, you haven't given up any of the expansion options you do with a tiny case, and you can use massive quiet cooling, if you so please.
But. But... Small form factor is a way of life!This is cute and all, but I just don't understand why everyone is freaking out about tiny cases.

And when you want to go to a LAN or take it on a trip and throw it in a backpack, oh wait you can't do that with full tower.
Why would I ever want to do that?![]()
This should help. All measurements are eyeballed in-case, and may be off by a mm or two.

I didn't think heat pipes would work properly in this orientation (bend at the top vs at the bottom or sides).
Care to explain why?
See the last item in the Noctua FAQ for NH-L12S. It has to do with gravity working against the wicking action in the heat pipes.
It will not fit because it is more than 2 Slots.

Though really, it's portability. Maybe we can't fit big ass coolers or such to push high spec components to the limit but we can still use i7s and the best GPUs, just in a pretty metal shoebox that we can take just about anywhere. I backpacked my A4-SFX, keyboard and mouse, keyboard wrist rest, a 15 inch HDMI monitor, a PS4 controller, my wireless headset and all of the required cables just the other week on foot and was set up again at my destination in about 10 minutes tops. And I didn't break my back doing so
.
So - while this may not be the best place for this question - I am still curious. What do you do that results in a need for portability?
Not bait. I was genuinely curious, and did not understand the appeal. I asked the question, and you answered it.
I have never once in my life wished that my PC build were more portable. I have never had the desire to go anywhere with it. At least not since the days of null-modem cable multiplayer gaming in the early to mid 90's. and I didn't realize people did this. The need for portability in a desktop had never even crossed my mind.
My builds plunk down under my desk and apart from when I move every 5 years or so on average, it never moves.

IMO the M1 is perfect for a 3 slot cardI think an extra-THICC A4 would be great, now that high end video cards are 3 slots. But it's not a priority because it's easy to get 2 slot cards.
Dan makes such a good product because he believes in limits. He could make a bigger case that fits more stuff... but that would be a different case than this one![]()
I understand that and some of us like having both a big ass rig and a portable power house for lan gaming.Not bait. I was genuinely curious, and did not understand the appeal. I asked the question, and you answered it.

xpatriatedtexan Should fit.
Thanks. Based on that picture it looks like the heaetpipes would not clear the RAM, so that ASUS motherboard likely wouldn't fit it. The heatsinks on the ASUS are pretty chunky and close up to the CPU area. The Cooltek is really utilizing all the available space, which is good for cooling, but kind of makes putting a build together a hassle, which I hadn't considered. I think the Gigabyte is probably my best bet, but I heard their BIOS is awful. The Z370 motherboards seem like they are more compatible overall, with smaller/fewer heatsinks, but I don't have a CPU to put in it should it require a firmware update for the 9xxx series CPUs to work.This should help. All measurements are eyeballed in-case, and may be off by a mm or two.
