DAN C4-SFX - old

[Jetpack_Maniac]

How does the new case design compare to the old one? It sounds like it changed a bunch since the renders were posted. I'm also really excited to see how this turns out. My next system will be SFF and I want this case to be the one I use.

The case has two possible GPU mount points horizontal or vertical.
...
Specs for horizontal (classic): Length: 300mm Width: 2.75 Slot Height: 115mm

@dondan, in classic layout do you expect the C4 to support DTX motherboards?

Currently there are no specs release for the C4-SFX I am working on. The specs in the first thread post are wrong. Furthermore you will have to wait minimum 6 month from now on before you can hold the case in your hands. But to answer your question: The case has two possible GPU mount points horizontal or vertical.

Specs for vertical (sandwich): Length: 300mm Width: 3 Slot Height: 150mm
Specs for horizontal (classic): Length: 300mm Width: 2.75 Slot Height: 115mm

*There is no guarantee for these specs.

Does this mean that you DONT plan on the C4 being compatible with the high end "ASUS STRIX" series cards which sits at 305mm in length?

You ask the wrong way, ASUS is not planning to be SSF friendly and finally adapting to 2 slot <300mm cards?

I see.... a completely different design that you start from scratch?

Read upthread — the vertical-or-horizontal GPU choice is in keep with the last iterations @dondan shared here.

Dan, thank you for this update. There are many promising SFF cases newly available or coming on line soon, but I'm willing to wait a bit in order to learn more about this refined C4.

Please share more as soon as possible – but no sooner. ;-)

Moin!

Thanks god DAN is alive... and C4 also :-)
6 Month - ok, still fine for me. I´m planning to build a new rig in late 2020. Is there a newsletter or something wich keeps me updated when C4 is ready for pre-order?

The CAD work is done Now I start creating renderings

 

[MarcParis]

Eager to see those renders..

Even though I'll probably end up going with the Sidearmd, congrats on finally "finishing" this project! I say "finishing" because who knows what tweaks you'd want to make, and that's not even getting to the production side of things. Again, congrats and good luck on the rest of your endeavors!

While I'm patiently waiting for the new renders, I wonder what @dondan could do with a CNC based C4!
As of now, I'm interested in the T1 but I'm also curious to see what the "new" C4-SFX has to offer.

still waiting for new renders

^ ... and a 'C4-SFX - NEW' thread

 

[Luvis]

Why is this taking sooooooo long

 

[schn1tt3r]

You must be new here. Go back and you'll see a post from dan say "renders next week" and 5 months passed with no news.

 

[NotAnAnimal]

I can't wait to see what he comes up with!
I must say tho, the T1 does look sweet. But it can not accommodate a 240 mm rad with 2 regular fans, as the original C4-sfx could.
