If anyone wanted in on the A4 it's Kickstarter is going now. Won't last long.

I made this for the A4 thread on HardOCP.

The Rosewill U3 takes a full sized PSU. I wouldn't really recommend it on the merits of the GPU length limit but I did manage to squeeze a 1070 in with no real issues. Others on PC Part Picker have fit reference Nvidia GPU's (980's, Titan X's).

It's a decent hold over until the Dan A4 arrives.

Anyone received they DAN/A4 yet? Looks like the thread on OCP forums is looking at creating a new low-profile heat sink and fan.

Still waiting at the delivery pickup confirmation stage with mine.

In the meantime I'm kind of obsessed with this:

Finally got my Dan A4 today and it's a pretty slick package, definitely has the Lian Li quality. It also weighs virtually nothing so I thought the box was empty when it arrived.

This looks awesome, is there anything else in this category worth considering? Does the PCI extender run at full speed?

My old Dan A4 computer was running loud and hot for years but now it runs like a dream. The v3 case has mounts for an AIO now, but it works well too just floating around behind the graphics card on the v1.

Maybe it was the multi-year wait for the release of the first A4 that has warped my sense of time.
