No.

It's got separate airflow zones for your GPU and CPU+PSU, it will fit a Noctua C14 or a Radeon 6990 (so basically any top-down cooler and any dual-slot video card), and it's the size of a shoebox.

I still can't really decide between silence and performance for the radiator.

>>60443334

>>60442991
The two cases make look similar externally but are very different. First off the M1 was released first and uses a traditional tower layout with no pci-e extender gimmick. The M1 has much better cooling options and more room for storage. It even has an ODD slot if you need it. The Dan case is a novel idea, but the execution is extremely flawed. The upcoming Ghost looks promising though.

>>60443577
The Dan has roughly half the volume of the M1, so theres that. I'm currently leaning towards a Dan v2 via the Kickstarter.

M1 is certainly an option, though shipping + customs might work out quite expensive for me.

Cooling limitations mostly. But also only 1 usb port, no audio ports, and limited storage. With an SFX-L PSU you can only fit 1-2 drives, if you are using the bottom fan in the proposed v2 that brings your total of drives down to 1. MAYBE 2 if your motherboard has m.2 on the underside.

>>60442487
depends on the fan.
depends on the CPU.

any cooler is going to cause turbulence, since the viscosity of air is so low, you'll always have a pretty high reynolds number. also why would turbulence cause sound more than laminar flow?

>But you won't because gaming machines are loud if you're that close to them.
I literally have a random all-in-one water cooler and my temps never go above 55*C. If I'm not running prime95, it's generally in the ~45*C range, and it's really not loud at all. I also set the fans to be pretty aggressive all around, I could probably make all the case fans permanently quiet and change the CPU settings to say quiet until much higher temperatures and I'd likely have it quiet enough while gaming to use behind the monitor. The only exception probably being the GPU, that thing can be pretty loud at times.

If you really wanted a build like that though, you'd probably use a custom water block on the GPU, and also high-quality fans as opposed to the stock BS that came with the case.

So sound really isn't a problem if you want it not to be.

>>60445213
I want to upgrade my case now. Why must you cause me such pain?

>>60447623
... is irrelevant with any modern ITX case. They draw air directly through a meshed side panel from outside the case.

>>60447919
Wouldn't the close proximity of all components prevent air flow?

>>60447661
eATX or GTFO

>>60447945
What do you mean close proximity? The physical location of the processor and the GPU are exactly the same as with every other motherboard, the only difference is the lack of further PCI-E expansion slots.

>>60447976
In particular, the distance of the CPU heatsink to the gpu, ram, etc.

Wouldn't the tighter layout make heat dissipation a problem since there is less open air for the fans to move?

>>60448019
Yes it does but mATX an ITX fanboys will never admit that to you

>>60448019
Like I said they are paced exactly the same. These components are not closer to each other on smaller boards.

Less volume is no problem either, on the contrary. The more volume you have, the more chaotic your airflow gets, the more places you have for turbulence, and hot air pockets to form.

The ITX case I have is the coolest PC case I ever had.

>>60429847
I will always have this case. I see no reason to upgrade to anything else.

>>60448050
Technically as long as the air flow is good that's not a problem. Like >>60448059 says, you can have perfectly good airflow in a small space. For instance, compute server racks have a lot of stuff jammed tightly together, and they use tiny fans spinning at like 5000RPM to force air through tiny spaces between components at very high speeds, thus achieving effective cooling.

The problem with this "server rack" cooling model is that, well, your case will also sound like a server rack - which means that you will soon go deaf.

It's not quite as bad when you just go from ATX to mATX but the principle is the same. You'll end up with a vacuum cleaner for a PC.

>>60429980
Anything like this with handles for easy carry?

>>60448122
>You'll end up with a vacuum cleaner for a PC.
Nope. In my case:

Graphics card draws air from the meshed side panel, it goes out the back, since the heatsink has horizontal fins. There is a front fan directly pulling air from outside the case in a straight line to the processor heatsink, the processor heatsink blows it at the back, where it is directly exhausted by the rear fan. No bullshit turns from bottom to top like in ATX cases.

32 decibels in total.

>Cases still don't have front panel type c and thunderbolt

>>60448171
>Most motherboards still don't support type C or thunderbolt

>>60448171
Wrong. There are several cases with Type C, Silverstone KL07 for example,, which is ass cheap.

And Thunderbolt is for Mactoddlers, not PC builders.

>>60448171
Do you really expect them to get ahead of new technology? Not many people have devices that need USB-C. Give it a year or two and they will probably be a thing
>>60448197
Also what this anon said. Motherboards barely support it either.

>>60448197
>>60448171
Thunderbolt will never become a thing in non-aplel PCs, because there is a fucking license fee to pay for the implementation. Nobody is willing to pay the license fee to put thunderboard on motherboards.

Far more customization and cooling options. No need to limit yourself to reference cards and SFF coolers. No need for an expensive PCI-e extender. You can also stuff multiple 3.5" HDDs in there if you wanted.

I feel like the Dan makes too many compromises for the size. The M1 can almost make no compromises compared to an ATX build if done right.

You are wrong, the point of SFF is to have a powerful gaming machine in a small form factor for portability. If you just want the smallest computer possible for browsing facebook then get something like an intel NUC. The Dan is legitimately a flawed design as using any cpu cooler larger other than the stock cooler will result in turbulence leading it to being loud as fuck. This isn't because the Dan case can't fit larger coolers, but its ventilation is poorly designed, which is what causes the turbulence in the first place. Imitators like the Ghost fix this problem though.

>USB-C is common on new motherboards
On the rear, sure, but not as an on-board header, which is what you want for front panel type C on a case. Only a handful of boards have that so far (mostly ASUS).

You could route the cable out the back of the case and to the rear I/O like you had to with early USB 3.0, but that's a pretty inelegant solution. Things that use type C are pretty far and few between right now anyway, so we might as well wait for the proper way with the motherboard header.

In terms of happiness per dollar, this is the best case I've ever bought. It wasn't very easy getting the cables right where I wanted them, but I think that's the price you pay when you get a small case and don't have stacks of cables to be able to choose exactly the right length.
I don't think I'll ever go back to a full size tower, this form factor is just too nice.
Obviously I got the model without the window though, I don't want to have to stare at those cables whenever I turn it on.

Their a bunch of idiots though. They make their nationality a huge part of their pitch as if anyone gives a fuck that theyre swedish and its a swedish design. Then they thoroughkly botch their kickstarter campaign by not sending any prototypes to reviewers like linus et al AND by making poor estimations regarding regional demand for their product resulting in exorbitant shippingrl rates. Zero chance of success for those idiots.

I mean, you're case looks nice and all, and I'm sure you love all that extra heat, but personally I don't like lugging around half pound heat sinks that cause my hardware to overheat.

>>60456181
Climate control is a primary function of any case. If your case doesn't offer that, then you've wasted money.

God I fucking hate my spaghetti.

I fucking hate these things.
They are like training wheels.

You don't know a good workout into you've spent half an hour wrestling with you're harddrive when you see what you've been doing wrong and suddenly its like pulling back the slide on a glock, slides right in.

What you need is a case mounting, not a case. Open air, latest Crossfire board, 4 GTX 1080s in SLI With A Dual Power Supply to handle the load. You're also going to need an power inverter energy storage unit cause drawing more than a kw off your house current will cause the breaker to trip.

I saw the mounting at fries, they use them to build prototypes.

>>60456539
Second, You're going to need a Mass Storage solution. 5 harddrives mounted in RAID 5 should do the trick, if one pops you'll still have your data and you'll never have to upload to offline storage.

They sell cases for these things but you are going to want an eSATA port connecter or minimum USB 3.0 so when it daisy chains it doesn't take forever.

You'll also need memory for a runtime environment, so I suggest you crosssection two SSD's and use drive mirroring so you won't lose any speed and can back up your data.

You'll also need to use 8 GB sticks for 32 gigs of RAM, with 8GB DDR 5 on each video card. Processor is going to be the new one, the Rizen, you want the 8 core. Normally I shy away from liquid cooling, but for this build I might actually recommend it.

>>60456671
don't forget to use DDR 4 to conform with the new standard.

If you use it for networking, you're going to have to shell out some dough for a t-1 connection, and you're going to have to register it, so no shaky business.

>>60457048

>Do you have the process documented?
I don't have a build log, since I'm still in the process of figuring out things with the front.

>What kind of cost are you at?
Hard to tell, I cannibalized some things off older cases like the rubber feet, and side panels for material, and I'm nowhere near done, because it's the front panel where it gets tricky. The front "fins" will have recessed RGB strips for example. There are also things I've spent money on, but discarded as an idea later. I will make an estimate of the actual cost once I'm done.

>Is that just a random LCD that you are going too hook up with HDMI
Basically, yes, but I also want to hook it up to electronic sensors, because I don't trust software readouts.

This thing is just perfect but my mainboard doesn't fit. I'm planning it as a HTPC for always-on use (browsing, movies / videos, 24/7 download) alon with 2-3 HDDs.

what form factor is that case?

A guy offered me to trade my Silverstone for a Fractal Define Mini without fans. I have a spare 140mm fan for it.

I'm currently using this HP 2007 shitbox. It weights 10 KGs alone and becomes hot as fuck. It exists in a dimension without airflow. The only opening and fan exhaust is a small 80mm.

Mini-ATX. It was confusing for me, my mainboard is 2 cm too large.

People who actually did a good job of cable management. But I wouldn't want to see them either, due to the current trend of using black liquorice-like cables everywhere. The old colour coded ones looks a lot nicer I think, + they're convenient.

Sleeved cables looks great, but too expensive for what they are.

Mini-ITX. It's the Silverstone SG05.

>that usb placement
Sure hope you weren't planning on using anything besides keys.

Which one is the least worst:
NZXT Phantom 410 Black/White
DeepCool Dukase WHV3 ATX
Corsair Carbide SPEC-03 Black Blue LEd
DeepCool Dukase V3 ATX
Thermaltake Versa N23 Mid-Tower Black

Feels bad being a third worlder

Your opinion is garbage, faggot.

Wew lad, the retardation hurts, doesn't it?

>>60464227
And all of you naysayers conveniently leave out the last piece of option, that completely negates your necessity of a bigger tower... replacing your HDDs with bigger ones.

Cherry picking your arguments won't make your retardation go away, it will just bring it that much closer to the surface.

>replacing HDDs with bigger ones
Yeah, thats TOTALLY how it works you fucking faggot.
>what is value
>what is size caps
>what is raid
I left it out because its pretty fucking obvious why people generally don't buy the top of the line 10TB helium filled garbage drives, and even if they did there is a thing called raid.

At this point you should consider suicide.

Oh, forgot to mention
>reliability

If you have no clue about HDDs, better look some shit up before pretending to be informed about the topic.
