Yeah and he said he has around 4k people subscribed on his website.That makes a lot of sense, thanks! Wow, so that means $230 x 1500 = $345,000 for it to go forward.

Minimum Order Quantity is 500 pcs, so 230€*500=115000€ min. In one of the latest updates he said there are already like 7K people on the waiting list...
Agreed!I think you may be underestimating the interest in it.
Is the case limited to 1 per person?Agreed!
"I don't think that all 1500 will be sold."
Why do u think this dondan? I know not all 7k people will actually fork out the money to buy one once it becomes available but i could certainly see more than 1500 willing to put up the cash. If the overall number is 1800 (for arguments sake) what option will the 300 who missed out on the kickstarter campaign have?
The goal is 80000€.
The MSI GTX 980 Ti Gaming fits very well. Computerbase.de used it in their Review of the A4-SFX.
I don't think that all 1500 will be sold.
What are the options if all 1500 will be sold? Is there room at Lian Li for a second or extended run?
I'd hate to come to Kickstarter 3 days in and out of luck.
I'm more concerned about those 1500 units being sold a lot faster than expected. And even then, people willing to buy this case two weeks in are still buyers. What i'm asking is if that 1500 really is the limit.I think it's more like two week or even more. Perhaps Necere would know a good estimate from the first run of his Ncase.
Then again it filters out those who don't really want the case, even if I sound elitist. "I missed the campaign! It's not my fault that I forgot or fail to check the website every week. Too busy to log on for 30 seconds. You know what I'm saying?"
If you are one of die-hard fans of this case and really want it so bad, set the alarm/reminder to get to the kickstarter page at very first minutes. 1500 units are not that hard to get for people who need one. Just make a good plan and be ready on time. For people who are late to the party, well you don't try hard enough.I'm more concerned about those 1500 units being sold a lot faster than expected.

I think it has been brought up a few times in serveral forums as to whether the A4-SFX is even smaller than the Razer Core external GPU dock. Well now that the specs for the Razer Core are listed, we can confirm the A4-SFX is in fact smaller, even when factoring in the feet and rear protrusions
A4-SFX (including feet and rear protrusions): 205 x 112 x 327mm = approx. 7.51L
Razer Core (Razer Core External Graphics Dock): 104.9 x 339.9 x 218.4mm = approx. 7.79L
At 500USD for the Razer Core (which comes with a 500 watt psu) you could easily get a A4-SFX and a higher end SFX PSU (such as a Corsair SF600) for less. I am not sure whether it is worth mentioning in the Kickstarter campaign that this case, which houses an entire setup is even smaller than some external GPU docks that fit similar size GPUs, but it is definitely an interesting fact that can be brought up when discussing SFF and external GPU docks.
I guess that fully depends on the implementation of said motherboard. To my knowledge, there aren't any available with that feature.With a thunderbolt3 motherboard in the A4-SFX, can it be connected to a laptop like the Razer core?

Yes with the right parts and creativity you can make an egpu work with pretty much any system. Be it TB3 or via pcie extension.With a thunderbolt3 motherboard in the A4-SFX, can it be connected to a laptop like the Razer core?
Motherboards don't work that way. You'd pretty much have to make you're own pcb with a pcie x16 slot and the necessary thunderbolt and pcie chipsets. You'd also need a power supply. Unless you've messed around with circuit designs before it's not possible and when you add up the cost of an A4 case, power supply, and thunderbolt adapter board the Razer Core won't cost much more. It wouldn't be too much work if you know what you're doing but sourcing tb3 chipsets might be hard because it's pretty new.With a thunderbolt3 motherboard in the A4-SFX, can it be connected to a laptop like the Razer core?
I've been watching this case for months. I'm torn on choosing either Dan A4 SFX or NCase M1.
I like how compact and stylish A4 is. It's so rare to have a case so small, it's very special. But it takes forever for Dan to launch the Kickstarter.
NCase, on the other hand, is readily available on the market. I can buy it right now and have it shipped by the end of the month.
I'm getting sick of waiting for A4. If the Kickstarter doesn't start within this month, I'm going to get NCase M1 instead.
So I guess GTX 1080 will fit into the case?

The reason for the limit quantities is shipping in time. Shipment must be handable for me. If I sell more than 1000 cases in the campaign the case will be also available in future on my site or a reseller. If I sell less then 1000 I will focus on my next project.

Don't get me wrong, I love his case design and work. That's why I've been waiting to get one myself. I've contacted him a few times on his email but received no reply. Maybe it went through or not, that's why I reg here so I can get myself heard.
Anyway, the problem he overlooks is the concept of "missed opportunities". Dan wants 1500 cases sold, yet he's waiting and waiting to launch the Kickstarter for who knows how long.
The thing is, there are "market" / potential customers out there who are on the fence on getting either this A4 case or NCase M1 and are leaning on getting A4. Myself included.
He needs to strike while the iron is still hot. He's making the same mistake as OnePlus phone campaign, using the reservation system and takes forever to get one. So instead of getting OnePlus, lots of people decided to quit waiting and get different phones instead.
You can only hold people's interest for so long. If he wants that 1500 case sold he needs to consider people are 50-50 on getting his case, too not just the hardcore fans.
Remember, unless you're an enthusiast, usually a person can only afford 1 rig (aka. 1 case). Once he chooses something else, you lose "a lead". This is marketing 101.
With the release of GTX 1080, 1070 and soon Polaris, there should be a good time to capitalize on A4 release.
God you sound retardet.. Buy a Ncase then!
Please don't insult him because from consumer point of view he has a valid point and has right to keep his 50/50 decision. I'm in a similar (kinda) situation. When I started to follow the project things were straight - I want one. But now a year later I became a father and lost an opportunity to use my desktop PC that often so the idea of investing in my PC rig doesn't sound that reasonable as it was before. It's not Dan's fault by any mean - I'm saying that from consumer point of view this long run project has some disadvantages.God you sound retardet.. Buy a Ncase then!

Graphics Card Dimensions:
4.376"Height
10.5"Length
2-SlotWidth
That's going to be sweet.
Do you HONESTLY think Dan is just sitting back, laughing as he reads postings about folks wanting & waiting for his chassis, sipping on a stein of beer…?
