Fair enough, if you're spending the money for these small production run cases you've got to be okay with the looks. It'd be nice to have an update on the c4 but I'm sure Dan has his hands full these days (saw a comment he had a kid recently) so it's understandable. The sidearm and Thor seem well on track though. The chimera looks interesting too. Wahaha seems to be pretty busy haha.

I agree that the C4 designs were very beautiful. I was personally fond of the original gap which offset the front panel before that got voted off the island. But what really made this design gorgeous was the seamless, single-piece wraparound top+side panel – though I don't recall what led to its demise.
100% agree on your choices. That really is the prettiest iteration for sure.
Here is a tiny update to break the silence from my side. I am still working on the case. I am nearly done with the CAD work and after this i will show what i have. It will be possible to add some tiny wishes or make some tiny changes based on user feedback. Then i will order the prototype.
I learned from the last month that i can't pleased everyone and that it is important that i make a product that i am happy with. I will not rush therefor i will not offer a release date or make promises that i can't keep. So if you need a case now don't wait for this project.
Thank you for your support

PC case Design is one of those things where there is always going to be people using it for different things - some people want a clean case with maximum cooling for a gaming PC without any IO clutter and some people want heaps of connectivity and something without any flashiness for a productivity PC.
I think whatever design you settle on will have the people who wish it was different, but in the long run if you stick to the core principle of this case it will be very popular and well received.
Looking forward to see the near-final CAD designs!

I only hope this doesn't turn out like so many cool ideas and just fall out, never to see the light of day. Please for the love of god, don't let this project die.
Well, i am looking at a lot of ITX DanA4 clones. Most of them are just a little bit different.
What i am looking for? My current project is a 8700k + 2070 watercooled in itx size. There is no real cooling problem for one of them. But both parts go for 300w and then you need more than 240mm radiators. I went for the XSPC TX240. Is only 20,2mm in height. So you can add some ID-Cooling Slim Fans with 15mm height and you get a silent cooling system.
Adding two of them in a DANA4 clone, one under the top and one on the bottom, might be working very well and not silent, but close to silent. Maybee there will be some space behind the graphicscard for another 120mm radiator or pump.

Awesome to hear, by far the sleekest solution to a 240mm radiator SFF case.
Sadly industry seems to be leaving SFF behind, again - please can you look at a 2.2 slot clearance for GPUs (like in the Ncase rev 6).
Also, you probably will go through SFF Lab again, would be awesome if you broke up the components (Chassis, Riser, panels, etc) so that there is an element of customisation, and to save on shipping etc.
Additionally, if you can notch the top of the MB tray to allow for a slim exhaust, just to establish the airflow across the MB VRMs that would be amazing
My wallet is ready.
what makes you believe that? Given the lack of updates, I am not counting on its release.
This thread reads like the Kickstarter comments of a scam project.
Last I checked no one has pledged so why bother being negative in general.

Anyone that's been around since the kickstarter days knows that - for a Dan Case, it's always worth the wait.
Not to derail the thread, but what's your problem with SFFLab? I haven't heard any I issues.
