Definately function over form.
Wood panels are 8mm thick.
If you wanted to go down the slightly more aesthetically pleasing route. Then a hole drill and router (not the network type.......) would be best deployed.
Up to 2 x 60mm fans could be fitted if centered.
I don't have a 60mm fan on hand, but if a 60mm Noctua is losely similar to a 40mm. You'd be wanting a 58mm through hole.
Then perhaps use a router to to take out 4-5mm in the shape of the square fan on the rear side of the front panel so it locates some of its depth into the wooden panel, plus 4 corner holes for fan screws (probably 5mm) as you'll need a slightly larger hole than the fan hole size to get self tapping screws in. A little chamfer can be added to the front of each screw hole so you can have counter sunk fan screws sitting flush with the front panel. Fan finger guards, like the above could be included on the inboard side as well, so they appear recessed and not protruding.
You'll be wanting a front panel available next will all the above won't you.....
Or instead of a finger guard these mesh fillters look nice: Stainless steel and aluminium alloy. Perhaps finished in black or left as is?
Im partial to this one that Kaji did. I believe it was destroyed by customs though.
That was a different Densium (I have owned three). This one was shipped via EMS to Germany and completely trashed by German customs and then denied entry into the country without reason. Returned to sender, I feel really bad because it was Japan Post who came to my door to apologize and reimburse me for the trouble (it was insured).
Also, dual 80s fit with a fully custom front panel (printed this one for a co-worker who wrapped it in the carbon)

Both of those front panels (the dual 40 and the dual 80) are here if any future viewer wants them.. They were both for v1 of the case.
It definitely ain't everyone's cup of tea but it certainly assisted with thermals.
Any hope of nabbing an original Densium 4 from anyone? I put together a build for the express purpose of fitting the smaller dimensions, and see no reason to waste empty space with a 4+. Especially since I'm running my build on an Xworks X32, occupying about 4.3L atm...
I do have a D4 v1 available, the side panels were originally modded by Kaji to take external fans and mounted under the table. Let me know if you're interested. https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/jp-heavily-modded-densium-4-sold.18274/
I have a v1 Densium plus if interested and in eu. Black with walnut front
Well, I uh, I too have an original desium from when I upgraded to V2.
That's awesome, I'd want to look into that for a V2. The link isn't working for me though, just takes me to Discord with no server, channel, message or anything.
Here's a link to the dual 80s, it's super basic but the dimensions should be correct should you want to copy/edit it for v2
Awesome! Did you decom your Neon Rocket build for a newer GPU?
PM'd

Anyone put a zotac Rtx 4070 in here yet? I know you can by either deshroud or modifying the wooden panel but wanted to see if people have actually done it
here, it was posted on another thread.

Sometimes things aren't simple or straight forward and decisions have to be taken one way or another. Like many of you we were taken by the design and quality of the Densium cases. With its origins of being designed to be strong for portability, of high quality and with a clean design look...
