I like the designs and am looking forward to purchasing the new C4-SFX when it comes out. But I don't think I could use it if the I/O panel is on the left. My computer sits on the left side of my desk, so the cables would be dangling over the side of the desk. Not a very good look.

I agree with you, a front set of port is preferable over a side I/O
Unless the ports can be flipped to either left or right.
Well, it's, unfortunately, official that I will not be getting the C4-SFXv1 case I ordered through Amazon. Over a month later and it never even shipped. It really sucks, but now I get to be 100% on board the hype train for the v2 case, so I have that going for me!! Looking forward to seeing more renders, hopefully more colors, and actually getting involved while the official sale is going on through approved vendors!!
Hi folks!
I need help with my build using this awesome case. For my build I am using the following components
With this routing, the side panel does not fit without a bit of pression bc of the cable. I am worried that if I leave this presion over the cable and connector, I could break/fire my GPU.
How could I route the cable? should I buy other cable?

Is there an updated timeline for US availability for the C4-SFX?
I thought it was going to be available late May, but I'm still not able to find it for sale anywhere.

Either get a 90 degree adapter cable, or get a custom one (sillicon) from Cablester, Rays, pslate (Etsy), moddiy.Hi folks!

Or if you want, change your PSU to Loki SFX-L (750W-850W-1000W). Their stock cables are very flexible.
The version 1 has EOL without release in US due to various reasons mentioned in the earlier threads.
You can check out my post from a couple pages ago if you are willing to get a custom cable...it mostly fits

@dondan Can you use an SFX-L PSU and the 4090FE airflow bracket at the same time? From my dry-build you can, but not if you use the PSU mounting cage. There isn't sufficient room to attach cables. You have to mount the PSU to the case directly. I'm hoping to continue my build planning today...

I snagged one of these as well as some other custom unsleeved cables from Cablemod. Arrived at my house in 4 days. Hoping to be able to make it all work with the tape method you shared!You can check out my post from a couple pages ago if you are willing to get a custom cable...it mostly fits

Hi, I've tried to find a topic on this here and on reddit and haven't seen it yet but please redirect me if necessary...
One of my C4 side panel pins broke. I considered the pin breaking while in 'normal use' especially since I've put way more wear and tear on my A4 without problem. I know that the V1 is discontinued but was wondering if there is a common fix for this or replacements available etc etc...
thanks

Hi, I think you should change your side fan orientation, it's not doing anything for your current GPU/CPU airflow.Hi folks!

Thinking through my build for when v2 is released, and as I'm going through the list of available ITX motherboards, I keep noticing that most of them have 1 M2 slot on the front of the board, usually with a built-in heatsink of some kind, and an available M2 slot on the back of the board with no heatsink. If I wanted to add a second M2 storage on the back of the board, is there enough room between the board and the case to use one with a built-in heatsink? If not, does it matter over much or should I not be looking to utilize that second M2 slot?
On v1 the back of the board area is open, you can use a heatsink, but honestly you usually don't need one unless you're buying a Gen5 drive.
Inappropriate question: I actually wanted to buy the case, but will not get it this year. What cheap alternative case could you recommend that will fit all the components? Then next year I plan to buy the V2 case. In doing so, I want to make sure all the parts fit in the C4 and not spend too much.
Measure your components first, and then probably look for something cheap & on the bigger side. Cooler Master NR200 can be the starting point of your search.
Also, if youd don't mind pre-owned case, maybe do check our forum's buy & sell section.
a stupid future question:
I want to put together a system that I am using now with another case and then move to the Dan C4 v2. Already using a microATX motherboard in the build.

Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE or Noctua NH-D12L The Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE will not fit in the Dan c4 v2 with its 155mm height ? Because then I have to bite the expensive apple and stay with the Noctua NH-D12L even if the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE would fit in my transitional case.

I highly doubt that 155mm will fit. The Noctua only "just" fits in the v1 case and it is 145mm
Case width of the v2 appears to remain the same at 166mm, thus rejecting the possibility of fitting 155mm TR PA 120 SE.
But you do not have to bite the expensive apple.
Behold! TR has the Silver Soul 135 (in white or black) which fits nicely into v2.
Its performance is on par with the NH-D12L (max temp difference is about 1-3C when cooling an i9-12900k, according to this review https://www.chiphell.com/article-28082-6.html) but the cost of the SS 135 is much more wallet-friendly. Similarly delicious but much cheaper.
If you do choose to bite this TR apple, a great fan comparison test is done here.
