dondan got a reaction from GanGan23 in DAN C4-SFX: A water & air cooled SFF case
Introduction
DAN Cases is back and this is our next tribute to the SFF community.
I am proud to introduce you the C4-SFX. The name comes from the German envelope norm for A4 papers and the possibility to mount a SFX power supply inside. With this new product I like to address three disadvantages of the A4-SFX – limited cooling, limited front I/O ports, long production time and price tag. With the C4-SFX I like to expanse my product portfolio so it will be available next to the A4-SFX.
The result is a 9.85L SFF gaming case with the possibility to use with high-end standardized components while keep them cool and quiet.
How it works
The new design used a sandwich based hardware layout and offers space for full-size graphics cards, mITX motherboard and SFX power supply. Instead of mounting a flexible riser cable the new design comes with a hard riser. Therefore the graphics card will be above the motherboard.
To provide enough air for the CPU heatsink the case has two mount points for 120mm fan in the “bottom” area. In this area it is possible to mount a 240mm AIO. The fans sucking air from the inside and push hot airt out on the bottom side. Fresh air comes in through the topside. This creates a continuous airflow in the inside between the components.
The case allows for easy mounting of either SFX or SFX-L power supplies. The PSU is located in the front of the chassis. Depending on the size of the PSU, up to two 2.5” HDDs or SSDs can be mounted in the drive bay. This drive bay could potentially be mounted with rubber spacers to reduce vibration. A third drive can be mounted behind the front cover.
To increase the count of accessible front I/O ports, it features USB3.0 Type-C, USB3.0-Type-A, Line-Out and Microphone jacks.
Just Flip it
It is possible to flip the case 180°. Rotate the front, mount the case feets on the opposit side and flip the side cover. Now the fan area is on the top side. The allows for switching the front I/O from the right to left side.

Here are the preview results of the first test with the C4-SFX.
Testsetup:
Ryzen 7 1700 @ default clock Asus Strix B350-I Nvidia Titan X (Pascal) 32GB DDR4 Corsair 450 SFX Asetek 120mm AIO (27mm Radiator) 2x Noctua NF-A12x25
I used Prime95 (26.6) 8K run for max CPU load and Valley Benchmark 2.5K simultaneous. The case fans spin at 100%.

Here are some more pictures of the C4-SFX. Yes you look right there is no type-c port on the i/o. I tried everything to keep it but the port itself requires a very long part behind the port that will collide with the front hdd. The supplier make some tests to make it shorter but failed.

dondan got a reaction from enome in DAN C4-SFX: A water & air cooled SFF case
@enome
Q1: The maximum supported length is 303mm, but I specified it for 295mm for easy installation.
Q2: - 10mm
Q3: Prototypes are in production. I will have the first samples in the next 2-3 weeks. Kickstarter will start end of May or early June.
Q4: Same procedure as for the A4-SFX I will talk with Demcifilter.com
Q5: The case will have a logo at the front. I think without it the front looks very boring.
Q6: Wallye TACTIK DUFFLE V2 should fit. I will talk with Wallye about this topic.

I like to introduce an easy way to install a watercooling solution for both CPU and GPU inside the C4:
Alphacool Eibaer LT
Alphacool Eiswolf GPX
-available for nearly every GPU.
-if you have a last generate GPU and it isn't on the list send them your card and get a free GPU block.
