For the C14S you can install two 140 fans on the radiator bracket in a row above it. For Founders cards you will get massive air moved out the case.

DAN C4-SFX & C4-MATX

I was asking the design choice to make the max gpu length 320mm instead of a few mm longer.
It just meant that msi amd aib cards won't fit.
I guess it's first unspoken/de-facto "standard" length after official pci-e maximum of 312mm. Just like 10.5inch/267mm is not stated anywhere, yet there's a lot of cards just under/right at that length.
SFF should be designed in that way to fit many product while beeing as small as possible. 320mm was the sweet spot for GPUs and 280 radiators.
After I got the new sample of the C4-SFX with a max cooler height of 145mm I will test some air coolers that will now fit:

Yes. Very interested in Noctua C14s and Silver Soul 135 and comparisons in general.
Should c14s be better than the silver soul 135, because of more heatpipes, heavier heatsink, and bigger fan?
And how do you even buy a silver soul 135 to begin with? I can not find a site that sells one in Canada.

@dondan Wow! 165mm? Thats a size were the Noctua U12A gets interesting! Are you also comparing TR Silver Arrow 130 vs Silver Soul 135?

I mixed case width and cpu cooler height. So max is 145mm
Oh, I am so stoked about these new limitations, together with the 2 x 140mm fan bottom AND side panel possibilities, this will turn out the best silent SFF (air-cooled) case!
Maybe not the most pressing thing for most people, but are you planning to offer a fully black version at some point after the silver one is out?
I will release full black and silver at the same time.
Excellent! Thanks a lot!
Another design-related thing: does the logo on the front double as power indicator (i.e. is there an LED behind it)?

The powerbutton has a indicator it is a tiny tiny hole in the middle of the button.
No ETAs. For what we know Dan didn't got prototype of last design rework, so design isn't even finalized -- I'd say that even in a good timeline you can chill out till spring.
