DAN C4-SFX - old

[AbdullahQuan]

Here are some first shots of the C4-SFX made by Lian Li. I will get more the next days. Keep in mind, that the Window panel screws are not the correct one. Currently you see a acrylic sample of the Window Kit because the tempered glass version isn't done:

Will the tempered glass version also include the aluminium side panel as backup if you later decide to revert to vent holes due to heat issues?
Thanks

Looks great! Will there be tempered glass on both sides?

@AbdullahQuan
The base case will come without windowkit. You have to buy the base case + windoekit. Then you will have both.

@Matias Petersen Yes

Panel clips......................

Looks amazing, btw I thought the aluminum panels are going to be matte instead of brushed, is that correct?

Also, is it possible to make the cutout on the panel behind the front panel larger to support longer rads? Some rads have rounded corners and are therefore longer in the center so every mm counts.

Keep up the good work!

Everythink that is different to LianLis other cases will be very expansive. So I made the decision to go with brushed.

Increasing the size of the cutout will not help because the frontclips will block larger radiators.

@galletabah I will include two extra clips.

Okay, I understand.

Sorry for the confusion, I didn't mean much larger.

The h80i, for example, is 3mm too long I think it might dodge the panel clips but not the panel.

Plus, like in the A4 some ppl may remove the panel clips.

It's just nice to have options, no worries if it's not feasible.

Acrylic is’nt better than tempered glass? I know tempered glass is much resistant than acrylic but more light.

Those are very nice photo's Dan!
One of the nicest cases I have seen so far.

What will the price of the case with the tempered glass windowed be?

edit: USD preferably

 

[Sidolin]

I would like to place the case on the right side of my desk. If I would like display my GPU, CPU etc. with the glass window, would that mean that the AIO must be on top? There doesn't seem to be any kind of panel/shroud for the AIO, it would pretty much be "open".

Well, disappointed about two things:

1.) The panel clips. Guess I'll have to stock up on replacing those. They don't last long at all if you like to tinker.

2.) Brushed aluminium... it's a seriously horrible dust and fingerprint magnet, and such a pain to keep clean. It was annoying on the M1, really hoped that we'd finally see a nice matte finish, ugh. If I have this thing on display on the desk, I want it to look nice - a pain when it looks like ass the second you touch it.

As he says, anything else than what lian li are already doing will cost more, so brushed it is. If you're really that let down and seemingly like to tinker, why don't you just paint them or sand the brushed finish off?

 

[Tephnos]

I can't be bothered to do that. The clip thing is a minor niggle, it's 2.) that really bugs me and why I probably won't bother with the case anymore. It already costs an arm and a leg so I wouldn't have minded paying for the better looks.

Ah well.

I see your point. Also, if you didn't know, you can get new panel clips from sfflab

I wonder that so many has bad experience with it since removement of the front panel will be not that often. Furthermore I only had 5 RMAs for the A4 from 5000 units for the clips.

 

[rfarmer]

I like to tinker with my Ncase and have had all the panels off many, many times and have yet to break a clip.

I think that many people just don't report it back when they break the clips... It's their fault too I guess... I've broken one of my eight, too.

Hey Dondan, curious if a custom loop could be supported if a smaller dc-dc psu was used like the hdplex 400w?

 

[emirmansouri]

Dondan is it possible to have:
1) an estimated date you will have this case on for purchase
2) sizes and dimensions for ordering the parts such as the GFX Card, Power Supply, radiators and so on
Thank you in advance for providing us with such a sought after product
