Hey guys, it has been a while! This case is now called It's now called A4-H20 and it can be already pre-ordered!
Props to dondan for this beautiful case! Glad to have given my 0.000001% contribuite on the design of this beauty with the side I/O idea haha
Newegg...
dondan I was very active on this thread (since 2017), I tried to give as many ideas as possible, spent time making illustrations, simple animations etc. but as of now I'm not interested in the case anymore because it has turned into a very different beast.
Please don't get me wrong, it's...
Flowmotion to be fair your original comment was about "mainstream" cards being triple slot, since when the RTX 2080 is considered mainstream? Anyhow, as I've told you earlier the Founder Edition cards are factory overclocked, if you check the benchmarks you will see that they perform similarly...
dondan It's a cool idea but as I've said, it's probably not for me. Pretty sure others may find it quite interesting.
Flowmotion RTX Founder Edition cards are factory overclocked they perform pretty nicely. Also, buying a 3 slot "mainstream" gpu is kinda weird I must say.
dondan I have to say that I'm not super happy to see the case getting bigger and bigger (it's getting a little too similar to the M1), at this point you might also want to support 3.5" drives (just kidding). I'm still trying to figure out what's the point of a 3-slot card in an SFF case...
dondan finally, nice to see you here again! Anyhow what happened to Side I/O? Was it completely scrapped?
In this top I/O variant is it possible to align the stuff so it can match the position of the vent holes? The fact that things aren't perfectly aligned bugs me a little bit but that's my...
I'd be happy with either layout.
kingtron you have a point, but if you are using an AIO Cooler, the case can still be used horizontally I guess. It's definitely an issue for those who plan to cool the CPU with air.
Anyhow how many will use the case in horizontal position? 2-3% maybe? I have no...
It's an interesting layout but I have to say that there are some things that does not convince me about this approach.
Why are you making this case so niche?
How effective can Indirect cooling be if the fans are (potentially) chocked?
How many people do water cool their GPU? Air cooled cards...
Hmm, I don't know, the Scyscraper-Layout looks interesting but I'm a bit concerned about cables, temps, and I/O position.
I'll wait for some realistic renders (if possible).
dondan what if you remove the Type-A port and keep the Type-C + audio jacks?
(I own a Macbook Pro so I'm used to having type-C ports only lol)
Maybe a poll could help you with the decision.
Long time no see dondan , I hope things are going well with your little girl. :)
As for your questions...
1) I think I will only use a 240mm AIO so I'm fine with dropping the support for 2 x 120mm AIOs - Question is, how many of us are planning to use 2 x 120mm AIO?
2) It's a painful one, I...
