There are reviews about it on youtube, it's nice. Unfortunately, it's 308mm. Just 8mm more than the limit. 300mm is when you have to deatach the front frame of the case in order to fit the gpu in and it will almost touch the card with like half a mm left. It's the utmost maximum limit in lenght...

Regarding the NANO, is there a specific reason to have the mobo and the gpu upside down compared to the Dan A4-SFX case? I mean the mobo perhaps got to normal position as it was upside down in the A4-SFX actually, but that was pretty fine - could having the CPU cooler below, M.2 on above with...

I think the 3060 is the upper ceiling that still makes sense here as the tdp tends to be a bit too high from here onward and with 12GB VRAM, I kinda even find it more future proof than the 3060 Ti in the long run with more and more games already using 8GB. I personally don't prefer the Aero...

I like the idea of the current layout and having strictly 175mm dual slot ITX gpu's (so basically up to 3060's or 6600XT's). MSI did make a 3060Ti with a single fan, but I kinda doubt that was a good idea. I just can't imagine it being cooled properly and it is (and was since launch) pretty much...

Team Nano FTW It's a lot more exciting case and pretty much the only sensible direction as Dan already have cases for the bigger hardware. And while MQ5 quality might be better, but for sure it's a LOT heavier due to the thickness which reduces portability. Also here we have case fans on top...

This is from reddit. Why such case even exist? Even with some of the biggest components out there, it's still feels unnecessarily roomy.

One of the thing that got me instantly amazed once I took it out from the box is the surface finishing. I honestly don't know how to inprove that further, but I'm looking forward to it.

I love my Velka 3 and this is the only case is what I'm looking forward to (and the new iteration of the Dan A4 SFX far-far ahead). While gpu's are getting bigger and bigger, ITX gpu's are still around and with such wonders of technology like the A2000 or how competent a Radeon 6600 still is...

I made a Dan A4 build with a 3 fanned Gigabyte 2060 Super Windforce and it ran very quiet and cool. The same idea is present on it's 3060 Ti Gaming OC cards and the rev2 and rev3 are two slot with the latter having an additional heatpipe as well. As an interesting sidenote, feel free to check...

I would go with either the Gigabyte or the Sapphire, yet if you have access to the 6750 Reference model (saw it available from Caseking in Europe as well) that's possibly the best looking (all black) highest quality card and the most powerful 2 slot. Besides, as things are going... it might as...

Thank you for the reassurement, espeically coming from pretty much the same conditions of it being in a Velka case with the same clearance to boot. 75'C is something I don't wish to go above though. Hopefully the cpu being it's T-variant will make the difference. Still, I cannot really settle...

Thanks for the prompt reply. This attachment seems surprising though. That compatibility meter shows that the i9's are more fitting than a 12400F. Wonder how that is possible. I'm most certainly a light gamer who plays more 2D titles than 3D, so would be perfectly fine with an APU build, yet I...

Geezus, that midnight black 6800 XT is just the best looking card ever. Seems robust and high quality as well. They make 2 slot 6750 XT's as well with the same dark aesthetic which is really tempting for Ghost S1 or Dan A4 users. Probably one of the last of the 2 slot gpu's, especially packing...

To get bit of context, I never used Intel so far, so I don't have the slightest idea on how they work. It is a bit confusing to me, since their higher tdp doesn't necessarily mean higher temps, but all the comparisons I've seen was done using huge towering coolers or 240mm aio's. I'm fascianted...

Anyone tried populating the rear M.2 slot on a mobo inside the Velka 3? Does it hurt the riser cable and cause high M.2 and possibly gpu temps or... is it ok?
