Xikii Shows Off Unofficial ASUS "ProArt" GPU Compatible Compact Chassis
Chinese custom chassis specialist, Xikii, has opened pre-orders for a new FF04 model—this classy ¥3599 (~$500) box has been designed to match the aesthetic theme of ASUS ProArt graphics cards. 3DCenter.org was impressed with the company's premium-priced work, following a discovery by Western readers (on Reddit). The site's social media account expressed some appreciation—the Xikii FF04 chassis set is a "9.8 liter case built around a single GPU; ASUS ProArt RTX 4070 Ti. Even the contour of the case matches the curve of the GPU shroud."
Xikii's product page includes a bunch of slick marketing shots and a promo video—all showing off a sample unit. Redditors noticed that the first batch of FF04 cases has already sold out—the company anticipates a shipping out date somewhere within an April 15 to 30 window. VideoCardz has eyeballed all available data, and surmised that several "RTX 40 ProArt models (4080, 4070 and 4060 series)" are suitably proportioned to fit in Xikii's purpose-built chassis—these: "have the same dimensions of 300x120x50 mm. This may explain why this design made any sense, you can certainly fit more than one model into this case, just keep in mind that a suitable power supply is needed for higher-end models." Xikii will offer an "external split water-cooling adapter module" as an optional item in the near future—they predict a price of 180 yuan (~$25).

I wonder if it could be built upon by adding some spacer panels on the top and the sides to accommodate a larger graphics card (to ensure the case still has a nice squared off look).
It's a hazard in a house with kids.
The colour- and material matching must have been a p.i.t.a..
Guess children/ cats/ dogs are less curious and more unlikely to put fingers/.. in uncovered fans blades in China hehe
IDK hehe
But I'm also going to guess this item will make a pretty good air purifier to
Only trick will be cleaning rats nest out of the gpu :fear:
