If you have low profile ddr4 handy, it would be awesome to know the height of the fan if attached to the ram side

neat looking case. I'm curious what the thermal impact would be with a 3080/3090 fe or blower card, and if it's significant if it could be mitigated by putting something between the gpu bracket and fan. I know you're already looking at a different venting pattern for the top--are you also...

Re: case vs features for panel types, what’s your opinion on how this worked for meshlicious? Unless I missed it, it looks like there’s the full mesh or the one mesh as separate SKU’s (plus the ones for the riser gen) but no separate panel packs if someone wanted to swap. Given the goal price...

I’m curious about real-world data for a “solid” panel version (perhaps accomplished via some cardboard and tape) with bottom-to-top airflow. It’s quite understandable if you’re not interested in fashioning that, but boy do I not like the visual aspect of those side vent holes.

Toss in ATX psu support (even if it requires a liquid cpu cooler like the Cerberus) and I think the case will attract a lot more of the “main stream” audience. mostly I’m pleased to see a creator with your brand/reputation embrace sff cases as a space-optimization focused challenge rather than...

does the 142.9mm cpu cooler clearance figure account for the side bracket (without fans)? that is, can a c14s be installed with both a top and a bottom fan at the same time as a second 140mm on the side bracket?

I’ve kept up with this case’s development since the thread first started, and came close to (but ultimately passed on) backing the Kickstarter. The SPK is a big draw for me but I know that’s a ways away if it happens, and I wasn’t comfortable being an early adopter for a case at that price...

bumping my own question since I think it's an even more attractive feature with a 'dual c14' style cooler. to rephrase, the "normal" psu position is adjacent to the motherboard and allows the psu fan fresh air access from the right panel. in a "rotated" psu position (so that the psu sits near...

I’m not sure if I’ve seen a picture/render with the psu oriented so that its fan faces the back or front of the case, but I thought I saw a reference to that as a feature. In that position, is there room on the side of the case (next to the motherboard) for a 120mm fan? Since exhausting hot air...

it would be interesting to see the results of 1 rad vs 2 rads with the solid panels, especially with 280s. I’m sure the second one is contributing something toward cooling performance, but I also assume the extra radiator reduces the overall airflow to some degree so maybe fan speed could be...

how much does case fan speed really impact thermals? 4x 1200-1500rpm a14's are going to be the major contributor of the overall noise profile. if you were to re-run e.g. the stock settings with fixed gpu and cpu fan speeds and step through the case fan speeds from 20%->25%->30% etc., when would...

where does the cx2 sit in the pecking order of t1 classic/t1 evo/free flow/edc/whatever else is simmering? is it wishful thinking that you'll have extra bandwidth for design iterations during chinese new year?

Scythe kaze flex slim fans also come in rgb now, fyi

3080 fe is 285mm, 3090 fe is 313mm per nvidia's site

Would it add too much logistics complexity to offer a “both” sku? I.e. there would be no option to buy only the plate/screws, but one could buy the block + both plates/screw sets as a single transaction? I’m guessing a lot of people might be willing to pay an extra $10 to have both “just in...
