DAN C4-SFX & C4-MATX

[hrh_ginsterbusch]

@Covuk can you remember how much the were originally?

Part of me is interested in having one, as l loved the quality of my Dan A4 and NCase M1.
Otherwise, my Sliger S610 is similarly sized and still a great case

acc. to geizhals they were originally sold, at least here in Germany, at 200ish Euro.

cu, w0lf.

Vielen Dank w0lf, it has keptbits value unsurprisingly

 

[Covuk]

Yes, about £200 delivered if I recall.

If they'd been available, I'd have bought one for my son too by now as in the time since v1, he's turned old enough for his own PC. The combination of quality and size was perfect in my view.

Thanks for that too @Covuk, time seems to slip by quicker & quicker.

@dondan - Any info on a release date at this time...? Will there be a larger number produced than the V1, will there be more than one run...? I really want to get one to move my ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Impact mDTX (with a 5800X3D CPU) build out of my Lian Li TU150 chassis, but I worry that the V2 may come and go before I can secure one...

Thanks...!

And now the big question(s), do we have any idea of pricing, an estimation of the numbers to be produced, and if there will be more than a single run...?

 

[Covuk]

I may be wrong, but my feeling is that for the cases he releases himself under the Dan brand, it's self financed. He has to pay for the run, and the shipping to suppliers. Then obviously wait to be paid by the suppliers and also deal with any faulty returns etc.
I can excuse him in this sense only having the confidence for one container-load at a time, but I suspect that even Dan himself might admit in hindsight that not ordering another run of v1 given the time its taken to produce v2 was a mistake. Will he do more this time? Only Dan knows that one and I suspect that demand for v2 when its on sale will inform that decision.

As for pricing, I'd expect a considerable bump. Production and international shipping costs have risen a lot in this time, just accounting for inflation would add over £50 on its own. I'd expect over £300, with £349 being my rough guess but it could hit higher

BIG OOF...! That high a price might just push me back towards considering a new (old) mobo and the Lian Li x Dan Cases A4-H2O (in silver) to transplant my current build into...

New (old) mobo because my current mobo is the ASUS C8I, which is mDTX...

I would augment the chassis with:

• be quiet! Pure Loop 3 240 AIO (refillable)
• Noctua NF-A12x25 G2 PWM Sx2-PP fans (in black)
• Custom cables from Dreambigbyray (24-pin mobo, 8-pin EPS, 8-pin PCI x2)
