It'll be more than 2kg, the GPU alone can nearly weigh that much, but yeah, it'll be light and small, modding g it to have an external 240 rad and fans and watercooling it all would be pretty badass actually and instantly solve the issue of thermals hehe.
I mean have you seen how bad even the new cooler master h500p thermals are at stock? Components need space to breathe and not have fans choked off (in the case of the h500p).

That's an issue with the h500p being poorly designed.

Dan Case (and many other cases) have plenty of space for air to enter. The issue with some cases is that they put glass/cover in the front panel and on the side of the front panel they leave like a 1mm gap for air to enter, so the fans you put there are rendered useless

Then you have glass side panels with absolutely no air to enter

Deepcool Tesseract blue for about $40. It does what I need it to. ie hold tons of hard drives while having enough clearance for ultra long gpu. I use the 5.25 slots mostly to hold extra hdd using a converter. There isn't really any other case around that matches it. They all either require the additional drive cage to be removed to accomodate a long card or just doesn't have the slots. The obsession with ricers/rgb and watercooling are pretty much ruining the purpose of cases. The only downside with the case is the tight fit in the back which is horrible for lazy cable management. On the bright side it has mounts for side fans so just stuffing the cables in the middle isn't a big deal.

Riser cables have a very good use. It allows the creation of smaller cases. RGB is useless, but watercooling is useful and necessary for some of the highest end CPUs.

Antec GX 200 Blue LED - arround 50€. Got when I built my Ryzen system some months ago. I had chosen some Coolermaster but unfortunately it was too wide. I have a desk which has a slot for PC cases and only a certain width fits.
My previous CM Elite was a bit cheap, the power button on the end went regularly onto strike and has a upper PSU mount with no SSD support.

This case is extremly good for its price, kudos to Antec for that. Great design, buttom PSU mount, enough bays, SSD support, 2x USB 3.0 (for my flash drives and external HDD)1x USB 2.0 (for my XBox gamepad) blue LED, great airflow and a durable metal power button. The cherry on the cake is a transporting handle on the top which also serves as a additional airflow hole.

My only matter is that the SSD mount is located in a style that 90 grade SATA cable doesnt fits, you need use a straight one.

The Dan case looks great but expensive for sure. I was interested in finding a SFF case that didn't resemble a microwave oven at one time. Ended up building a couple of systems with the Silverstone Grandia GD09 and Milo ML03 cases. Both cost about £80-100 each at the time.

I have a Corsair 200R for my main rig. I like the minimalistic look but regret not going larger so I'll be replacing it. Have the NZXT Phantom 530/630 in mind for £130.

No.

The Dan Case is very unique. There is no other consumer case in the world like it. It is the smallest case in the world that supports full length, dual slot video cards and watercooling.

Still a complete waste of money.

That's your opinion and you're entitled to it. I say that you are wrong.

I require, not want -- require a small computer case and there is no other case in the world that has as much compatibility as the Dan case.

If you're going to continue claiming I waste my $$, just leave and never come back. You are derailing this thread.

LOL, typical moron who cant handle someone elses opinion. If the case is WORTH 300+ to you than its a good investment. For the average person they're not going to spend 300+ on 20$ worth of aluminum. We can agree to disagree on the worth of the case, dependiing on someones needs.

What are you a paid spokesperson.

[Monk]

To be fair, what is a waste and what isn't is a very personal question of ones own means and needs.
