There are big, good cases that can fit tons of hardware like the Corsair 4000D. There are stylish cases like Lian Li O11 Dynamic. There are cases with great airflow like the Fractal Design Torrent. But it's hard to get all of those in a Small Form Factor of SFF case. DanCase has proven that you DON'T need to compromise on these features and that you can fit a high-end Intel or AMD CPU and even an Nvidia RTX 4090 in one of the best PC cases I've built in. I love this thing.

The warranty sticker thing is one of the main reasons I'll miss EVGA's GPUs. They honor their warranty even when you disassemble and install a waterblock on the card. I've had to RMA two EVGA GPUs (out of like 11 I've owned from them) after I watercooled them. I told them up front that they've been watercooled. They simply told me to put the stock heatsink back on and said the only issue would be if I didn't have the stock thermal pads anymore (which they offered to send me). RMA process was a breeze still. RIP EVGA, you will be missed.

@kylemiller2920 Год назад

No lie, EVGA is one of the easiest companies ever to work with, and their CS has always been first class when I've had to work with them.

@summushieremiasclarkson4700 Год назад

XFX are just as good, if not better. They explicitly list that they don't cover warranty on used cards, but when my $250 6800xt started acting up (shocking, I know), they agreed to provide RMA so long as I paid for shipping. This was a surprise to me, I even told them it was used.

@eagle653 Год назад

The SSD bending is because there's space for a double sided SSD, but a single sided one is thinner so it doesn't make contact with the thermal pad underneath and gets pushed in by the cooler. But ASUS have actually accounted for that and they include a rubber spacer which you can install underneath a single sided SSD to support it and stop it bending. It's not well-advertised but if you look in the accessories box it should be there, and there's a page in the manual showing where to put it. Alternatively you can just add another layer of thermal pad if you lose the spacer.

I used to build only full tower cases, but recently realized (after longer than I'll admit) most of that space is going to waste because I'm not using a full tower as intended. My latest build was going to be in a micro case with an mATX motherboard and I almost went with the Jonsbo D31 in the mesh white ($90 and would be my first white pc build), which is very similar to the one used here, but ended up doing the HYTE Y60 (a mid tower) in snow white and absolutely love the build even more. I was very concerned with the thermals of an i9-12900K in the D31 even with an AIO liquid cooling and was a bit disappointed most micro cases didn't have a glass side panel.

@Alec_Smahrt 11 месяцев назад

I'm waiting for a mass manufacturer to just bulk produce these for like $38. When a full ATX case can be sub-$40, there's no good reason (aside from small production run and "because you'll pay it") for a case with this little material to cost $200+. Heck, you don't even need to have it be pre-assembled, just ship with instructions and let the user do it. Cutting out steel panels doesn't cost that much, especially in bulk. For a small run, charge what you want I guess, but for this to be mainstream a big maker just need to make them in bulk and price accordingly. If "Bgears b-Vigor RGB Mid Tower with Front RGB Light and Side Tempered Glass (BG01879)" can be #17 on Amazon's best sellers for PC cases, for $38, and have tempered glass and lights, this SFX case can be done for $38. It doesn't even need a riser, so there's no excuse about minimum costs there.

@Sir_Tachyon Год назад

In regards to the tamper sticker, Isopropyl alcohol works as a great solvent to temporarily make the sticker no longer sticky. Then once the isopropyl alcohol evaporates you can re-apply it like a new sticker. This trick also works for the rubber feet on many devices that manufacturers love to hide screws with.

Also I cut the back panel out(right above the motherboard) so it fit a 120mm fan right above the mobo

Small is nice (even in a big house) - built a 10 liter desktop using Lian Li PC-Q03B many years ago - still alive with upgraded SSD and now a small RTX 2060 card - also the NR200 chassi is (was?) a little bigger at 18 liters and very flexible but most recently built a 33 liter machine using Asus Prime AP201 chassi (RTX 4070, Ryzen 5900X, 4 memory modules) and its so much more convenient with a little more room for everything inside - including more air 😊

@dlorp. Год назад

seriously, i've got a Ncase m1 (what the NR200P is based off of) and the temps are great! I also had to take the fans off of my 3080ti to get it to fit but theres room for some noctua fans just underneath and its my favorite PC case i've built in, and i've built more PCs than i can count. I think it will be my forever case until i can no longer fit any hardware in it. at one point i stuffed a 5tb hdd in between the radiator and CPU block. but my OC'd ram didnt like the lack of airflow so much so i had to revert. The cost to entry is the worst part IMO. The cost of the more premium cases are pretty egregious (worth it imo but there are cheaper ones in the market now). ITX MoBos are very pricey and so are the SFX PSUs compared to their ATX counter parts. Not to mention coolers that wont fit in the new case and you'd have to purchase new.

@califa213239 Год назад

Pretty straight forward honestly, most ITX cases only fit SFX PSU, ITX motherboards, and the showcase on the website will tell you what size cooling and fans will fit. Oh, and also consider the GPU won't always fit for a three-fan or higher-end GPU. There is virtually no way to make a blanketed approach to ITX as each company deals with it differently.

The NH-D12L is a good cooler, I got one and it cools the 5800X3D well. Absolutely a great option for SFF cases like this. I'm just a bit worried about the air flow since the way the D9L and D12L mount it won't be able to draw air in directly from the outside in this case (or probably any SFF case) the way a top flow cooler or liquid cooling would.

I really wish there would be a micro-ATX version of this. The motherboards are usually cheaper for the features. Provides an upgrade path for more RAM and other expandability. This would only require a small bump in height

@michaelpyle Год назад

Dan Case has the A4-mATX in development which is basically a slightly larger version of this. But who knows when/if they release it

@davidskidmore3442 Год назад

I just built a minor variation on this (7700, rx7900 xt) in a Silverstone Alta G1M. It's a micro-ATX case, but assembled vertically (the 'rear' ports are on the top) so it's got a small footprint, and average mid-tower height. GPU ends up facing the front panel, so the LED-lit fans on mine shine through the front mesh. As a bonus it supports normal dual-tower air coolers, so no need for water or radiators.

@casperunnerup Год назад

@@davidskidmore3442 I've seen the Alta too. It is so close to being great too. But I don't like the look of it and like the open top due to liquid spills. Where I could put the C4-SFX upright in the same position as the Alta to close of the top

I don't consider myself as good with building PC to do this, but since I wanted a way smaller PC i bought the NR200P Max, and I super recommend this. Lot of things including cable management are already done in the case, it was really reassuring for me, and the performance are excellent. I don't think I could appreciate the liiiittle difference in size here, but I understand the fun for some people

@oatbear8243 Год назад

Some years ago I bought the Ncase M1, which, at the time, was one of the best mini itx cases that didn’t require a riser, and didn’t compromise on performance. But current gen high end GPUs won’t fit in it. The new Dan case seems to be the only mini itx case on the market currently that can do it.

I love my hulking beast that required me to source a desk with a slot big enough to fit it (barely), but it's still really cool to see these smaller form factors being fleshed out and developed. I'm a big case for life stan, but this is great for my smaller case brethren!

@insparks782 Год назад

I'm running a small form factor system and I thought my Formd T1 was my ultimate case, but this one is just so good. I was settled for keeping my current rig for the next year or two but this is kind of lighting a fire in me to make another build now.

@xXRusheR90Xx Год назад

Same for me xD Probably it might not have the build quality of a T1, but i like the layout and I wonder if you could go watercooled with two rads, like in a NR200 but smaller…

@insparks782 Год назад

@@xXRusheR90Xx The problem with the T1 is I just didn't anticipate GPU's becoming quite as huge as they have. I mean, a 4090 is doable with a custom loop but the T1 has kind of reached its limit. Which is a shame because I like it so much.

@jamiebarber8362 Год назад

I mean, I'm so OCD that I cut & re-soldered a bunch of cables and heat shrunk them on the back of my current rig, just so as to get the cable management spot on; also heat shrunk around the motherboard headers to hide coloured wires etc so they're invisible. I LOVE this video for so many reasons though, they're having genuine fun working it out, I used to work in the games industry and would build the latest, smallest build for trade shows or press demo tours of our games etc (I learned this the first time I went to E3 and had to strip a midi tower down, including it's PSU going through customs). So this just brings back SO many happy memories.

I think that I'm going to downsize with my next build, but mini itx / sfx is quite annoying to build in and cooling is suboptimal most of the time. I think that the jonsbo d31 or asus ap201 with a micro atx board is a good compromise.

@timvanlaere9803 Год назад

Interesting, I also ended up taking off the GPU fans to fit a 6650XT in a node 202 case. And replacing it with 2 case fans. It was the only way but works perfect in my case

@opoku_ Год назад

You should check out another interesting case: Mechanic Master C28. At 17.9L it's one of the smallest cases that supports both micro-atx mobo and atx psu at the same time. Just like the dancase in this video, nearly all of its panels can be unscrewed for easier building. It supports 240mm AIO or an air cooler up to 162mm. It also supports a 335mm graphics card. I got mine from aliexpress last year and it was a very fun build, especially squeezing in my giant msi rx 6950xt gaming x trio.

@@johnuzoka6124 thanks for letting me know! i edited my comment so it just says "one of the smallest" since yours is smaller. for my purposes, i still prefer the c28 because it can fit taller air coolers and my gpu is 325mm so wouldnt fit in the zzaw c2.

@opoku_ Год назад

@@ericchen5862 unless im mistaken, m1evo is an itx case. the reason i suggested c28 is because it fits all regular micro-atx parts so you dont need to pay extra or lose functionality for itx/sfx parts

9:22 best course of action is to get IPA (isopropyl alcohol), use tweezers to get it off while adding ipa from the side and thel letting the ipa on the sticker evaporate. After a minute the glue will stick again and you can place it back. The trick is to be careful with the tweezers in the beginning not to damage the sticker at the very start
