Thanks for clarifying that, I think I was fooled by the perspective of the photos and not reading Dan’s text carefully enough ?

That said, I don’t recall seeing the double fan option mentioned before.

it's in the 1st post hahaha

Update:

Some reshots with the Noctua U9S + 2x80mm Noctua Redux at the back panel. So far my favorite build. Very clean cable management with default length cables, and super clean look with the U9S. BTW you see the alternative routing for the power cord to fit 2x 80mm fans.

Also this is the premiere for the third design with power button and USB-C at the front.

At the end the A4-SFX joined in for some shots with the C4-SFX.















Thank you, stay safe

Dear god that looks stunning. :eek:

Just came from the reddit post. Nothing but a Ncase circlejerk. I'm also glad to read Dan doesn't take into consideration people's complaint about their cats turning off their computer. My sister's birds chew the hell out of her headphone wires, but I don't see people requesting to make wires out of chainmail to prevent this. First world problems...

I'm definitely going to try and cop this case. If there will be an option to add a TG side panel, I'll be all over this. Great job.

Ahem. Not chain mail cable, but yes, there are other alternatives to solve this problem, namely detachable cable or wireless headphones. And naah it's not a first world problem. Broken cable is quite a headache for many.

Anyway, let's take a chill pill & relax. Difference in opinion doesn't have to be something tense. Light hearted opinion & candid suggestions are also effective feedback, for example:

"Hey @dondan , just want to say this is the reason why I prefer the USB-C jack to be somewhere at the side"



And yes I'm going to hell for this ?

I can't wait till I stick a C14S in there.

Dan, why do you prefer U9S over C14S? It has worse cooling.

Really looking forward to the release of this.

Really not keen on the logo being on the front though. Maybe the back if at all.

Hi, Dan.
I just wanted to repeat my ask to add mountings for 3 slot motherboards. This Boards will fit with power supply in front position


Also there is magnificent Z390 maximus XI gene. It may conflict with power supply, it will be great to add mounting holes for psu bracket on the left side of the C4.

What's the reason behind the lack of support for slim fans at the top? it looks like it's should be enough space.
The impact on cooling would be significant, especially in the case of air-cooling.

Just rotate the case. Case supports this.
But i do not think that 3mm round holes works good as a grill - too much resistance should be generated against fan air flow.

Hello dondan,

love the progress you have made here, could you demo the case in the upside down/reversed orientation? I'm just curious of what that looks like because I think your intention was that the bottom of the case would end up being open in the bottom.

Thank you for your consideration.
