DAN C4-SFX

Than the powerbutton and pcb has to be part of the top panel. This would but stress on the pw_on and pw_led wires everytime you removed it and cables can be broken. Happend here on my last sample.
I like this, especially with the outside mounted Iceman res/pump combo. Case feet. hm. I nearly always change them anyway.C4-SFX POWER WEEK - last chance to add changes
Here is the current drawing of the C4-SFX.
You will have one week giving me fire. In this week you can tell me what you are missing what is bad or great and needs to be changed or should be kept. There will be no poll just exchange here in the forum. I will think about your suggestions and decide by myself to add or drop them.
After that week the CAD work is done and I will rest it for another week. Making rederings think about it from all angles and then i will send them to LianLi and start with the manual.
Final specs:
Case Dimensions (H x W x D): 241 x 166 x 329mm, 13.15L
Overall Dimensions: 261 x 166 x 332 (including case feets)
Weight: ~1,7 Kg
Graphic cards support: 3 Slot GPU up to 320mm length and 145mm in height including power connectors (Yes the STRIX will fit)
Motherboard support: Mini-ITX, DTX, deep ITX
Power Supply support: SFX, SFX-L
CPU Heatsink support: Up to 145mm in height.
Water cooling support: up to 280mm radiator with 140x140x25mm fans
Watercooling
Max configuration: 320x140x45 + 140x140x25 fans
Max Pump height: 80mm
Drives: up to 2 x 2.5" HDD/SSD
Now please let me know what you think.
Hey, your work is amazing! I've been waiting for this case since Optimum Tech tested it. I currently have a Ghost S1 with the Tophat L, a 5950X (water cooled) and a 2080 TI. Gets pretty hot in there ^^ That's why I'm looking forward to your case, since I also want to upgrade to a RTX 3080 or RTX 3090 
Since the last wishes can be made here I would also like to speak out for the old feet and for the finish I like the matte silver of the Ghost S1 or the aluminum from your sample. The Dan A4-H20 looks a bit too shiny and sprinkled to me in Optimums Techs video. But all of this are no deal breakers. Looking forward to the case and hope I can buy it soon

How about making top panel cutout smaller, so power button and USB port end up in it's center?
That probably would require making power button smaller, but that's better as well IMO -- there's way too little of visual padding from the edge.

145mm total heatsink height (from CPU to sidepanel) - 4mm radiator bracket = 141mm in total.
Now sub your radiator and fan and you have the pump height

I am little confused. This is the only available layout, with GPU on top? The "normal" with the GPU at the bottom is not posible anymore, as it was in original model?
I updated the first post of this thread. You can find all spects there.
yes - there is no advantage for the GPU on bottom layout.

This just makes me wish it was white like the Meshlicious instead of brushed silver.
Hey, so i just found out to use C14s cooler in this case, I need to remove the bottom plate which exposed a big opening in the bottom of the case. Is it possible to somehow not have a big hole on the case… the feeling of bare tower cooler without some kind of protect frame isn’t great. Also I can’t use C4 for traveling as carry-on in airport because there’s a big hole that is not safe. AIO cooler is not an option because it has liquid in it.
I will test Taiwan based sand blasted. As far as I know should be very smooth and more mate than glossy.
Removeable bottom plate for high C14s compatibility.
So with the C14s config, It is not designed to be portable. I can't really travel with it as the C14s just pop out of the frame. It is more stationary.Removeable bottom plate for high C14s compatibility.
