Ha! You noticed the black heads. Mistakes were made with the 12pin length, and it could use a trim. But, I did use Dream Big Ray as well. They do good work and quick with the orders. I'm still waiting for the silicone molex cable but I'll prob wait until next year's maintenance. I forgot how...

Can't believe it's been a year already. I did the annual flush and upgraded some parts. Copied a few ideas from you fellas so thanks for the ideas! Still loving the case. Replaced the DC-LTs with an EK DDC pump/res. Upgraded from 5600x to 5800x3d Switched to silicone wiring for better cable...

Harsh! Wait...aren't you the scalper guy from a few pages back? Sorry. I meant, reseller. So how does this affect your business model knowing that Dan can be fickle with production runs? Are you planning on buying 10 units of v2 just in case and be the hero that makes meager profits to help...

It means you’ve reached the level of

Man, I was so off the mark from my original opinion. Dan's pretty much the wet dream of most, maybe not all, of what boutique builders want to be. He's designed yet another banger of a case with v1, one which received rave reviews and promos of 3+ popular Youtubers who have 500K+...

So, for all this, there's no other reason other than you can? That's strangely simple but appreciate the flex.

@dondan so is this a new direction you're going in? Freed from the chains of corporate greed, bottom lines, and TPS reports and just limited runs moving forward? asking for a friend...

eh maybe I'm wrong. It does look like Lian Li handed manufacturing according to his website. Collab? Not-collab? Agree it's all very confusing and sad.

Oh, did Lian Li handle production for this too? I noticed he didn't tie their name with the title of this forum so I just assumed it was a boutique run handled and funded by himself. It looks like he partnered up with Lian Li again for the A3 but the A4/B4 looks to be on his own too. That's why...

I thought the whole idea of being boutique is to be small and limited? I can only imagine if he did open up another V1 run, just to appease the masses, there would be so many angry purchases involved. Like screw this guy...but also, here's my money. That says something. I do agree, comms could...

No worries. Just giving you a hard time and apologies ☺️. He mentioned July for me but I'm pretty sure this was Jake's reaction as soon as he heard that everything sold out from a successful product launch until next year.

so dramatic...anyways, Jake's shop posted the top panels for the C4...

Noise will be the X factor and it's up to you to decide on what you're comfortable with as far as the level. I'd still go with option 2 since the case was made for air cooling so the ventilation should be okay,

Math is a little off there. Good news is it looks like that Alphacool GPU block is 24mm thick so about 79mm to play with. Personally, I'd go with the thinner rad and thicker fan for noise but that's just me.
