Just incase anyone is interested in a cheaper a4 styled case. Geeek said there will be one available to the global market in Spetember with slight differences. I think it looks good.


More info and pics.

it is wider to accommodate 66mm CPU Cooler. I emailed them about it and got exactly the same response, the one in taobao is Chinese market only. Global release will be September. The global version will have some revisions. With that, I replied back asking if it possible to have 70mm clearance instead of 66mm to accommodate a Noctua L12S.

I'm really glad that this is finally hitting the global market. I love SFF, I just don't love the price tag. I went so far as to contact the maker at Taobao but a month wait and ~$180 is a bit steep for me.

Here in Brazil we are starting a "crowndfunding" thingy, and some folks at our sff community already ordered a 10-unit batch, in simple folded aluminum and rough finishing, from a local metal worker company, "back to back" case design. Hope we can at least feed the inner community And get a polished product from factory already, but it's a start... Import stuff is madness with our current situation and import rates...

Would be great if they offered a non-branded side panel instead of the giant Geeek one. What CPU cooler options do you get with that extra 18mm clearance compared to the A4? (48 vs 66mm)

Also there have been some quality control concerns with Geeek in the past. This looks good but I would wait for reviews to roll in first.

You could hypothetically make a rough copy of the panel using calipers and a LOT of patience. Or, seal that area in using Sugru/Flex tape/clay.

Scythe Big Shuriken 2 @ 58mm or Noctua NH-L12 @ 66mm using just he 92mm fan.

I really like it, but the side panel with the really loud logo is really off putting for me. If it was available with a perforated metal side instead, I'd strongly consider it instead of a Dan Case or a Louqe.

Hello all, I preordered the A50 white. This is my first go around on this.

1. I will be using i5 4670K
2. Should I be looking for a blower style GPU?
3. What will be the best CPU Cooler?
4. 92mm case fans - Arctic F9 92MM PWMs x 3?

Thanks!
