@ScarletStar The case is flipable so it is possible to have the radiator at the top. I tested the case many hours and the problem of reused air isn't a problem.
Have you tried with two fans installed in watercooling with a Cryorig C1 (this is an example) for the CPU?
I signed up just to get more info on this case.
Sorry if it has already been asked but has the Kickstarter started yet? tried searching but but came up empty.
I read in the earlier posts that it was going to be may/june, it's July, so hopefully I didn't miss the boat.
This is definitely going to be the case for my next rig.
So far I have an i7 8086k and an Asus ROG Z370-I board sitting for my next build.
Will purchase the 32gb (2x 16gb) Trident Z RGB Ram, a Corsair SFX 600w in the next few months.
I'm not sure which 240mm water cooler will fit so I will hold off on that till we know more.
I am hoping Nvidia will announce the GTX 1180 later this month for Aug/Sept release, I have a Zotac 1080TI Mini in my current rig I can pull if they delay it though.
The last piece of the puzzle will be this case, Loving the sexy Black w/ Tempered glass.
Hoping it will be available in the next few months either through kickstarter or somewhere.
If you guys know, please reply. thanks.

No ETA right now, things are a bit delayed due to Dondan being busy and a baby who should arrive in a few weeks. Next gen Nvidia GPUs will be on sale before the C4
I prefer that he takes his time to fine-tune his case rather than take it out now but with problems
Thanks for the reply, I am ok waiting hopefully it's gonna be before the end of the year lol, since you all know tech changes crazy fast.
We might be looking at the new i9 8 cores by then lol.

Really glad you can see the beauty of the old design again, dondan!
I might be a little late to the party, but:
- I prefer the side I/O and i don't think that breaking stuff sticking out from the side is or it should be a real concern. First of all front I/O it's an accessibility thing, so don't have to go all the way to the back of the case to stick that thumb drive you wanna use for few minutes. Second, i can't see anyone buying this beautiful case taking pleasure from seeing cables and USB stick's (or other things) sticking out of the case like a weird octopus.
- The current case feet look the best for me.
- Motherboard standoffs on the side panel does not sound like a good idea, especially if that side panel is mounted in a traditional way, like the front side panel. There is a very good chance that it will warp under the weight on the motherboard+cooler if the only points of support for that panel are 4 screws on the edges of it. I don't think you can install standoffs on the side panel without leaving some marks, if you look close at the side panels of the A4 you can see the uneven surface leveling where the push pins are mounted. Not to talk about how weird it would be to take that panel off with the motherboard and all the cables dragging it back. If the panel would be mounted on a semi-permanent fashion then it may work but then, again, will hurt the flexibility of the case, you won't be able to rotate the layout that easily.
I hope my feedback is constructive for you.

The basic design is perfect for me, just have to be able to put 4x120mm bottom and top, we would then have the ultimate case
I support this idea. But if it is not easy to integrate just leave it as is
Yes the integration will surely not be easy but after that we can use a fan in 92mm however I'm not sure it will be silent except with Noctua but we lose the opportunity to have a watercooling system
I mean any fan that we can cram into this additionally will be helpful, as long as the case doesnt increase to much in its dimensions, but I wouldn't mind additional 2-3cms to fit another set of fans
I am of the same opinion too
I know that by the time Dan starts manufacturing, I would buy his case, I decided in the afternoon by comparing all or almost all cases SFF
Edite: There is a dust filter underneath the case?

Yes it got it back a brand new tian X (pascal).My daughter Mia was born yesterday so currently I am very busy but i have very grat news for you I will stay with side I/O and found a way to make this case bettern than it is!

Dan HUGE congratulations on your new arrival, Mia. Please send my congrats to Mrs Dan who did all the hard work
.Brilliant to have a new design solution, and a Titan X Pascal to test it with!
Hope you get some paternity leave, and have been well trained with nappies and helping out...
