Hi Daniel,

i really appreciate your work and I’m looking forward to get your case ?.

One question are your considering to provide in- and outlets holes in the back to add compatibility for the IceMancooler DDC? Would make custom waterloop before starting drilling the missing holes.

many thanks in advance.

Dan, I am closely watching this thread and would love one of these. I’m looking to top mount a 280mm radiator, and put a 3080 in there.

Alternatively, I would like to use a Noctua C14 and still have exhaust flow.

Seems like the Video cards are getting bigger and the standard is 3 slots and > 300mm. It maybe quite late to ask this question,but here we go! will you consider making some changes to this case or release a new one that will accommodate the upcoming new generations 3 slots and > 300mm length?

I think the main limiter for Video cards is the height, with max. 131 mm including Power Cable. I would also like to see some changes extending the height of the Case to make space for something like 144 mm tall cards like Asus Tuf/ROG incl. Power Cable or both MSI-models .This should not increase the Volume too much but more or less every card will Fit. 320mm length is enought for all cards. I also wonder if a slim 120mm fan will fit in the top of the case so that theres some more exhaust flow, because just one 92mm isnt enought, and from the pictures it looks like that 2x80mm wont fit with a gpu with backplate. Otherwise Im really looking forward to buying the Case and i think appx. 13l volume with full size gpu is perfect for a Gaming system.

As there are plenty of 3080 models to choose from that will already fit. I would prefer the case not be expanded to fit giant cards. This is a mini itx case after all.

RTX 3080 compatibility list:

here is the Nvidia RTX 3080 compatibility list. Some cards may fit (!) if you use a low profile 180° power socket adapter.
Furthermore some cards that are too long may be also fit if they are deshrouded, because the heatsink and pcb may shorter than the fan shroud.

Is there a more detailed datasheet or CAD to get dimensions?

Would you consider these holes for the fittings? Looking forward for a custom loop inside the C4 SFX with 2x280 rads.

Yes I will. Keep in mind a dual 280 rad is only possible if you use the new RTX 3080 FE PCB because you need a waterblock with fittings to the back of the card. A classic heatsink with fittings facing to the side mount radiator will collide with a 280 rad because it comes very close to the GPU. You can solve this with a 280 at the bottom and a 240 at the side.

On the sandwhich layout, can you flip it so that the 240mm AIO is on the top of the case as exhaust?
