Could very well be the lighting that makes it look worse than it actually is. Likewise, the mesh is the only thing that's keeping me away from the M2. Otherwise I think it's the best 'new' design so far in this niche of the SFF market (besides the C4 V1). The Louqe Ghost R1 comes in a close...

I'm not doubting C4 v1 has a nice finish, I never had a chance to see for myself due to the botched US release. It did look great in pictures and videos, besides the front and side panel variance. Ali does quote the M2 for having "the nicest finish that I have seen in any PC case," and he's not...

Speaking of the M2, it would be great if Dan could incorporate the same premium anodization finish that Ncase is using: Finally, a super premium silver finish that seems to be on par with Apple computers. I wonder what factory they're using to accomplish this because they even managed to hit...

All of this sounds great. People seem to be split between front panel vs. top panel I/O, so offering an optional kit should make everyone happy. Keeping the I/O on the top strikes a perfect balance of offering easy port accessibility while still maintaining that super clean look. Also happy to...

Interesting...I don't recall this being the case with V1, IIRC? I also preferred the ventilation design of the original C4 side panels, but the change didn't seem too drastic aesthetically. I'm just happy it didn't go full-blown boombox speaker fine mesh like the M1 Evo or the new budget A3...

All aboard the R1 ever since it was announced, it definitely looks nicer than the C4 v2. The I/O moving to the front of the C4 killed the clean look of the case IMO. But if the C4 V2 ends up supporting mATX, that would be the only feature that would tempt me. Also, the C4 being available in a...

I/O on the top looks much better, but a hard decision if it sacrifices GPU compatibility. I personally wouldn't mind a slightly larger case to get a cleaner front panel, but I know some would disagree. Also, the I/O moved to the front + the revised perforation on the side panels make it look...

Agreed! I've been pushing for a mono silver C4 (and also Louqe's Ghost S1) since the beginning. We know all black looks great...all silver would also look beautiful. Also, perforated metal > fine mesh.

IMO, option B is better but i'm not a fan of that corrugated top. Also, moving the I/O to the front instead of top would be a downgrade aesthetically, it kills the clean look. Adding mATX compatibility is a big enough improvement on it's own to warrant the "V2" label. V1 aesthetics were already...

I can only speak for myself but it's not my intention to rile up or join an angry pitchfork mob against Dan. I don't think he's done anything particularly egregious. It was just a half-assed launch that had very poor communication, which left people feeling strung-along. But I don't agree with...

That's what I thought, but maybe I'm wrong. I haven't been following too closely the nitty gritty details of this launch, mainly because of how long it's taken to come to fruition. Just a shame it was a fart in the wind.

And on top of all of the that...saying that we had the opportunity to buy the case from a few vendors during that short window, so it's our fault that we didn't, and now too late and too bad. And then drawing parallels to an Nvidia GPU launch, whom of course everyone loathes and despises now. It...

Not sure if this is even a viable solution, but maybe we can find some middle ground for those who aren't partial to the V2's aesthetics by offering 2 different "shells." Similar to how Ncase is offering different panels for the M1EVO. 2 different external configs for V2, where the second...

With all due respect, I also think V1 looks way better than V2. Everyone is doing fine mesh nowadays, and I personally think it looks cheap and tacky. No thanks. I haven't really kept up with this thread in the past couple months, but I really hope US buyers have a chance to purchase a V1 from...

LTT video should certainly rake in more sales, though I'm sure the C4 doesn't exactly cater towards their core audience. Already seeing lots of comments about being too expensive, or SFF isn't worth it, or might as well buy the NR200P/Meshlicious, etc...Not everyone can appreciate the quality...
