Hi everyone, I've been playing with my dan A4 for quite a while, I think it's about the time to call it epic.
cooling:
4*A9x14
1*A9x25
1*A12x15 + CM B120 AIO
Spec:
i7-10700, 32g 2933, 2.5 TB SSD, 3070 FE, H470i Strix, SF 600 Gold + custom cables
Temps and noise are perfect, and the case still fits in a backpack or standard onboard suitcase.
Could be improved by switch bottom fans to exhaust to encourage side intake, but I prefer internal positive pressure to reject dust.

Please don't comment on the desk, I'm currently quarantining in a hotel.

what comes to mind here from me. . .
Dr. Ian Malcolm: "Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

otherwise, good work, whatever works for you :) looks very scifi dystopian

I think you should consider some kind of gasket around the edges og your fans. Otherwise they might just pull in lots of air from the surronding area outside, and less from the inside? Lifting the fans up is a good idea because they generally struggle more (and create more noise) when mounted closer to the mesh. +1,5-2 cm seems to be more ideal according to my experience.
