S4 MINI Classic (S4M-C)

Youre right. And I didnt mind that. My zotac 1070 mini fit in just fine and it holds strong so I just left it like that. I only used longer screws cause the ones that came with it didnt fit with the 2mm gap.
Yes true, i had it tilted like that for over a month now but thought the jack would be more stable if it contacted the whole surface so i had cut the case
These are good questions that I don't have scientific answers to.
The thickness is 2.32mm and all the bezels I produced seem to be rigid and secure to the touch. I wouldn't want to sell them if I felt that they were too brittle or delicate. I haven't tried to break any as they take hours to make and I fall in love with them afterwards and it seems unreasonable to break them for a test when polite care they should be fine.
So is the 3d bezel then 9.32mm thick total, 7mm + 2.32mm ?
Or is it 7mm thick total with 4.68mm + 2.32mm ?
Mine i believe is actually mounted like that from Josh himself, its at a slight angle... if that's what you're showing here. IDK exactly.Nah, didnt work, you can see it in my 1070 gpus comparsions thread

What do you mean? I use it right now
See the pictures in my 1070 thread, its all explained
You have to clip a really small piece of the side of the dc jack to make it fit with the msi 1070 plastic shroud.
If thats true, then the dc jack isnt lying flat. You can see it on the imgur picture set on the site before.
I just can accept in such a perfect case an unperfectly mounted dc jack, therefor i have cut it to fit. Maybe its just me

Yeah here's what mine looks like, i havent TOUCHED the Dc jack and it cam from josh installed in the flipped position, its not PERFECTLY aligned but its a sacrifice I'm willing to take.If thats true, then the dc jack isnt lying flat. You can see it on the imgur picture set on the site before.

Im just saying that this one long cut-out in the case near the dc jack would make things easier for future s4 owners and future cards,
as a flipped dc jack clearly makes more room for the gpu's pcb-> More compatibility with different gpu cards.

Hey everyone!
Just thought I'd update with a bit of progress I made with the Mockup Template I've been working on.
Here are the screenshots:
Just a couple minor tweaks and then that view is done and I can work on a view for the other side

Its 9.3 and change total. The material thickness varies.
As for "DC Jack Gate" I have been flipping the jacks since the ASUS 970 DCu came out and haven't had a problem with screws or anything so I need more info there on improving the S4 MINI. Certainly I want to make every good, easy, change especially in terms of GPU compatibility.
In other news I'm going to build a 1080ti MINI this week so I'll have some info there.

OMG IT ARRIVED! I didn't expect my S4 Mini this soon. I ordered it on June 13th, and 6 weeks later its in my hands. Thanks Josh!
Did you happen to get a tracking notification email or did it just arrive? I ordered a day before you.
Regarding screws I had to change mine since with the case gap, only one side would reach the screw mounts. I used 10-12 mm m2 screws to fasten mine and while it is a little tilted, it holds strong and doesnt touch the gpu. If the metal gap werent present I believe a change of screws from the ones HDPlex brings wouldnt be necessary.
A little cut would be ok.
Secondary question, I know you hate me by now but should we expect news soon about bezels? My s4 feels naked
Just a FYI if you ordered a bezel remember it may be delayed a little since Josh stated on his site it would take more time to ship these. So don't expect to receive your S4 mini in order as it highly depends on the accessories you purchased with your S4 mini. I ordered i think back in April or May and haven't received mine yet.
I already have an s4 mini since february mate. Im only in queue for a bezel and a long switch, which is why Im just a bit curious about when these might be in circulation. Not in a hurry (maybe), just hungry for news
