Even though the top version does look a lot cleaner...

Posted December 8, 2017 The new side I/O option is much more appealing now. I have a cue light I can use to show you when I’m joking, if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 9, 2017 I'm not a small case fan but i do like the 3rd io option best with the top in 2nd.The old side the thick band of cooler looks kinda off to me some how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 10, 2017 Author Survey three reloaded! Hi there, this is the third survey for the C4-SFX again. I restarted the old one, because I included a new option and a new voting mechanism. In this survey you will be able to give every design a score. 3 points will be the highest score while 1 is the lowest. The advantage of this mechanism is, that I will also respect your opinion about the other options. Link to survey: Google Forms Survey Thank you for your help!

Posted December 10, 2017 They all look amazing, but if newegg or amazon had all three for sale and I had my choice I would buy the case with the top IO for easiest access. But I'd still buy any of the three if only one was available when I go mini ITX on my next full build (probably not for 2-3 years though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 11, 2017 I'm definitely a fan of the right/left I/O with the larger uni-body panel that covers more of the frame.

Posted February 20, 2018 I know I already commented on the sff net site, but hot diggity damn am I glad this is a thing. Can't wait to get rid of this Node 202. It was a nice stepping stone, but I'm ready for something much nicer. When are you expecting first units to go out? I have cravings to upgrade my CAD box.

Posted February 25, 2018 Author 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.

Posted March 10, 2018 Is it possible to shift the GPU placement to the back of the mobo? This way it would allow taller waterblocks like the Kraken X52 to fit in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 12, 2018 Will it be possible to fit at least one 3.5" HDD? I kinda want to have a 10TB HDD just for mass storage and don't want to rely on external drives. (i'm too lazy to do a nas) Looking forward for that case since i want to down size and thinking on making a custom loop inside of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there will be one version without fans and a second version with fans.Do you have a prefered fan that I should consider? Maglevs from corsair. Worth the $$$.

If you have used a maglev (and that is all I use since they came out) you know the much better performance and acoustics that it delivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can fit 3 x 2.5" drives + M.2 SSD on board. So you can fit 3x 4TB = 12TB & 2TB M.2 = 14TB. On 13.3.2018 at 9:41 AM, THE_maverick said: Maglevs from corsair. Worth the $$$.
