Because he himself has to test the market first and see if there is enough people interested in it? Dan is a small business, if he produces too much and the actual sales doesn't reach the expectation, he will go out of business. Even Lian Li has to see if the product has high demand to even work with Dan. Dan cannot just go to Lian Li HQ and ask them "hey, lets build this together." Business does not work that way.


By giving the design to Lian Li, he has to share profit with them. This does not cover enough cost of R&D to Dan himself when he has to spend months on it.


If you want Lian Li case, go buy one from them. C4 is the one Dan designs (with help of community). You have no decision to where Dan wants to produce and sell his products on.
