It took Dan 6 years to release v1 and apparently he's just become a father to a baby?

If so, it basically means that he was being ridiculously optimistic when he told everyone that he would release a new C4 v2 by now - or likely any time in the next two years. 🍼

That is pretty poor. US gets forgotten for the Q4 release when we were promised (only reason I did not order from Overclockers UK). I was pretty much done on this project anyway but now I am for sure. I have been following this thread all the way back since it’s original inception. Let Germany have the C4……

I think we got all forgotten, not just the US.

Thank you Dan for not giving a damn sh*t about the people on this forum who've been waiting for ages for this v2 case.

Dan hasn't posted anything here since June 4th, 2024 (Post 3927 of this thread) though I suspect he's lurking.

I regret to say that SFFN just isn't a popular spot anymore. I'm sorry about that. People have begun to move on to reddit, Discords, or YouTube comments. Forums like ours aren't surviving, and web media has been replace by videos for all but the die-hard enthusiasts.

From the few times I've direct messaged Dan, I never got the impression he doesn't care. I think he's just busy...well I hope he's just busy.

It's not just SFFN though. Dan hasn't been very active.

Dan was last spotted on SFF Hub on 8-20-2024

Dan was last spotted on SFF Gurus on 5-29-2024

The last post on the dan-cases website is 5-2023 when Optimum Tech reviewed the C4-SFX

However, he was on his sub-reddit 14 days ago. He also frequents MFF PC and SFF PC sub-reddits.

His direct e-mail contact is info@dan-cases.com per his website.

Sorry guys. I wish I could make him appear, but I can't.

He might just be waiting for RTX 5000 series size specs before deciding on a direction regarding height/slot/matx support for v2.

of course, an update would be nice. i wonder if he got a prototype with the new mesh panels and checked the qualily....

I'm hoping for the same thing, but even just him saying that he's waiting for the release before finalizing the design would be a great relief.

I got a message today from Scott at SFF Hub. Dan is ok. He's most likely waiting on the next-generation GPUs before finalizing the design.

And again, not communicating this towards his fans/followers/customers means he does not care
There is no maybe, perhaps or probably
It's a 100% affirmative of not caring

/Edit: just spotted his post on computerbase.de from this monday, stating he is indeed waiting for final specs of the RTX 5000 series - so that means he does not care about SFFN any more, not about his customers in general. For me, this is still a big no and I'm done with Dan Cases 😞

...nothing lasts forever. SFFN isn't dead but we aren't blind or naive to what's happening to us, and forums in general. I wish we could invest more time into the place, but we're all getting older now, and life starts to have a time limit. How you spend that time becomes more and more important.

A lot has changed in the six years I’ve been here. We’re a long way from the A4-SFX, S4M, M1, Cerberus, K39 and SG05/SG13.

He post an update on a german forum: https://www.computerbase.de/forum/threads/dan-c4-sfx.1923191/post-30029446
So he is waiting für the specs of the RTX 50x0 graphic cards.
At this point, I no longer care.

Finalise design > order produciton > wait for them to be manufactured > wait for them arrive at retailers (one year minimum)
Retailers sell out in 10mins > "Oh, I'm changing them again, sorry, another 2 year wait, oh wait....RTX60 is due out, I'll wait more..."

No thanks.

I might put up my DAN C4-SFX for sale, since a lot of people here missed out on it I figured it would offer it here first. I'm located in EU / Netherlands so you might want to consider shipping costs.

I have the silver version with no mods made to it. Shoot me a DM if you are interested.

You are not allowed to do trades outside of the "trade" section of the forums, I think:

Not reporting you or anything, just wanted to let you know :)
