Or make it a cylindrical radiator!

This makes me want to custom make a single cooler system. Your biggest limitation here is that you're having to stuff two D15's next to each other. What if you could put the heat pipes and fins in a perfectly maximizing way?

No specific knowledge on compatibility but be careful - the daughter cards for audio/vrm/m.2 drive have made life tricky in the past with low profile coolers on Impacts.

Wish I could afford a $250+ case in college.

If you custom made it for a specific mobo, sure. Otherwise you'll run into a nightmare of compatibility issues.

From my experience with ti, just fine. Also, in this case the body of the case would still be your normal alu, only the outer panels (the actually visible part) would be ti rendering it moot anyways.

Yes, hence my stipulation about using it largely in sheet form. I want to anodize it. Anodized ti looks very different than anodized alu. Even raw it's a very different, distinct look (when finished properly).

Really? I can get sheet pretty darn cheap - https://www.ebay.com/itm/153045208587 (https://i.imgur.com/5hfpN9m.png backup) for example with 30 seconds of searching. Drilling holes in it and cleaning it isn't that hard. Obviously you'd still need alu for the internals but that could easily do...

My understanding of titanium is that the material is not that much more expensive than aluminum but is much harder to work with, especially for complex bends and folds. I can understand not making some of the more complex cases or parts. But things like side panels or other simple aspects...

Kolink is Dan A4 clone with an extra 35% volume. (side note: Why didn't they clone it more closely? They could have easily matched the Dan's dimensions/volume. Would be a much more appealing option, then you're only sacrificing QC/build quality vs the "name brand" Dan) The Louqe has the same...
