Stalled [New Video Assembly] Densium 4 & 4+ - Tiny cases with real hardwood frontpanel!

You will definitely want the custom mods for the wiring, and I would suggest the Noctua fan for the power supply to keep it cool and quiet. I went with the Noctua
Nh-L9a-AM4 in chromax black for my 5700x as I've used it in a few builds and found it to keep things cool and quiet.

I too would recommend ordering the 7660 with your case and add one or two centimeters to the recommended cable lenght suggested on the densium website. Don't forget overteks powersupply comes without basic c13 power cord to plug into your wall outlets, so order your own. You can opt for a fan swap in the psu and Overtek does a killer job at it (check his youtube), but i'd only go for it if you reckon you'll be using a full 3 to 400 watts for long stretches of time. To be honest my system with ryzen 3600 and rx 6600xt doesn't even use enough watts on full blast to trigger the flexatx fan to start, so it's quiet as can be stock.

I bought the z-39 but it works better with a noctua 92mm fan.. So I also bought the l9a cooler. Since I prefer mounting with a backplate (z-39 doesn't have any) I installed the noctua l9a and very happy with performance. Another cooler you could try (but also wants a noctua 92x14 mm fan to be quiet) is the axp-90 x36

Also, buy the riser through Densium to be sure you get the right angles.

That's not that long of a wait. Hang in there.

That's a week and a day. It'll be fine

I'd recommend the same. As for the 600 Watts. Honestly you will never be able to use more then 400 Watts without running into thermal Issues first, since the maximum GPU-Size you can fit currently is a 220Watt RTX 3070, if you make a specific cooler mod. As for the CPU...try running a >150 Watts Intel with a 40mm Cooler...it will reach the thermal limit almost instantly. So I don't see a power Problem there. Even in the future the thermal limits won't ever disappear.
For 1080p->1440p the Size is enough for now. Maybe in a few Generations we then have a 4k gaming Pc in that size ^^.

I am so glad that @Densium.net went the extra rout and made the front USB-C Port on USB 3.2 GEN 2X2 as all the new Boards, like Intels Z690 and AMDs new X670 and B650 do advertise the external and internal 20G capabilities. As I am all the time running external drives between my ITX, Main Desktop and Laptop, that is really a big deal! <3 Thank you for making that case even greater then it already is! Can't wait to start building in my V2! Anybody has tested the SilverStone MS12 with the new ASMedia ASM2364 already? I think that would be a great usecase for that extra Port and some extra storage!

 

[Bakaban]

If there happens to be excess stock of the usb-c cable in the V2, would you consider selling it in your accessories?

Even better, could you offer a usb-c faceplate and cable for the V1 in the future?

Yes, but there is no excess. I could purchase some extras though, however you could also order them directly from ADT-Link in their webshop!

 

[Densium.net]

I wouldn’t know how to implement that, would require some modding ETC. Also there is less than 100people with the V1, considering how many got damaged in shipping, haha. Let’s say 10% of those wanted and were able to do the mod, that’s only 10 people, and would cost close to prototype price per unit, and would probably end up costing way too much (guesstimate $50). It’s a little difficult to justify from a business perspective.

 

[Irish Os1r1s]

Pity. Oh well.

 

[Bakaban]

Ha, understandable. No worries, just daydreaming here. Will have look at adt-line up

For anyone interested in using non-Flex PSUs with these cases, I've now updated my PSU cover plate thingy design (read: fixed my mistakes) and added it to the Resources subsection of the forums:

.SKP & .STEP - Flexatx PSU cutout cover with C14 and 40mm fan mounts (for MW RPS PSUs etc.)

This is a PSU cutout cover plate for cases meant for FlexATX PSUs, for folks wanting to use an internal AC-DC PSU of some kind (like MeanWell's RPS series). It has a cutout designed for snap-in panel mount C14 sockets, which partially relies on...

My shipping agent had delayed fulfilling orders for unknown reason, but they started fulfilling all orders today!

Just got tracking!!! Really excited to build and play with this one.

in the email?

Yup, came in an e-mail from Densium.

 

[Aklamb]

Awesome thanks. Hopefully I’ll get mine too. I already got my overtek psu, shipping was great on it
