DAN C4-SFX

[Arboreal]

Many of these chinese 15L mATX cases have many limitations for CPU cooling or GPU support. The only way to do mATX in 15L and support RTX 4080/4090 is a sandwich based layout.

The smallest possible mATX case including the following features:
- classic hardware layout
- 280 AIO support
- tower heatsinks up to 145mm in height
- SFX and SFX-L support
- GPU with an height up to 145mm (like RTX 4080/4090)

would be 166 x 271 x 390 (WxHxL) = 17.5 L

I think the right way to do mATX is with ATX PSU and 360 AIO support. With the A3-mATX i have a case with these features in the pipeline.

The C4-SFX will go in production next week so the time for feature requests is over.

Dan, thank you for this valuable insight into mATX design.
I genuinely have been wondering for a while what the minimum volume of a properly practical classical layout would be.
17.5L it is!

@dondan Thank you so much for your Hard work! Im really looking forward to buy this case as soon as its available. Do you think it will be in shops at the beginning of March? I’m planning my build right now and would be thankful for an approximate time frame

Wohoo - great news - congrats, can't wait to start my build, the old A4 build needs to be replaced :-)

Do you know, will there be preorders taken by Caseking/OC.uk?

 

[dondan]

Dan, could you pls answer me atleast one time?

 

[dondan]

I think it will be available at the end of March or early April. It depends on container shipping.

You already have the case and components you want yet you are in this thread complaining about a design you're not even interested in.

Go troll somewhere else.

You've earned yourself a warning, well done Sir ! There's a difference between constructive criticism and being a twat.

Will the arctic liquid freezer 280mm fit this case dan?

 

[dondan]

Yes

 

[powerstapler]

Does the 4090 windforce fit in this case OOB or does it require taking apart the card?

 

[dondan]

Because of its height it will not fit

 

[jesustakesthewheel]

Hey Dan, I have a few questions about this gorgeous case:
1. Is the silver color actually close to white like the pics seem to show ?
2. Could you provide us with the approximate cable size needed for custom cables ?
3. Can you have a 92mm fan installed in the back while having a 280mm AIO ?

Thanks for all your work, I am going to pre-order on caseking as soon as it is available.

Because of its height it will not fit

So the Gigabyte 4090 Windforce will not fit in the C4-SFX? It is one of the smaller 4090s at 331mm length and its 3.5 slot (unless I am mistaken)

 

[dondan]

On the first page in this thread you find all compatible RTX 4090/4080

 

[xil22]

Hey Dan, on the colorful 4090 battle Ax.

Colorful website says it's 327x151.2x67.1mm (COLORFUL-Colorful GeForce RTX 4090 NB EX-VV)

But in your compatibility list says it's 326x140.

So I'm wondering will 327x151.2x67 still fit?

Will this have an pre order in the USsimilar to the A4 H20?
