    Echoing comments on here really, the lengths, passion and effort gone into making this case the work of art and engineering that it is is not lost on anyone who is actively looking for such a thing. If you've gained the trust of professionals who have entrusted the Winter One to contain the...

    It was great seeing the tear down of the case and the GPU, even if there were some especially bum twitching moments with those two connectors not wanting to come out!

    The first batches are currently awaiting final checks, packing and the shipping, but if you visit Winter Design and sign up for notifications for Batch 2 that'd be the best bet.

    This is more of a new venture for you than it is for us as consumers. The pressure resting on your shoulders under the weight of your own expectations must be immense, let alone that of trying to appease those of us who have come along for the journey with you. I know I can't speak for...

    As I mentioned on the Discord the other day, the only reason I'm now waiting for Optimus blocks is that it fits the theme you've set here with the case design. Your attention to detail continues to impress, and the fact that you're so approachable and active in the community as well is something...

    Do any of you knowledgeable folk know if there's a 3090 FE waterblock that isn't nickel plated? The EK one looks superb but the nickel plating totally kills my boner.

    I've been thinking about the PSU inlet for a few days, and think having it oriented vertically and further toward the edge of the case, on the side that the PSU resides might be a neat QOL improvement. You could possibly run the PSU lead down the side of the fans / rad that way. @Koxx5D , only...

    I've ended up spotting for rads, so just need fittings, blocks, pump, tubing, coolant and a 3090 now. Not much!. I was gonna move to AMD but have decided to err on the side of sensible and stay with my 9700k for now! That CPU block looks nice @Koxx5D I'm looking at Acetal and copper blocks...

    You really must stop posting such pornography. I'm struggling to keep a lid on my watercooling want list as it is.

    I have 2 x 2Tb 970s in my Ghost currently, so should see me though for a while!

    The 980 specs were a bit of a disappointment to me, and I'm running a 970 Evo. I'm gonna wait for some more significant advances before jumping ahead with any storage changes I think and spend the money on some nice blocks instead.

    I'm doing the same using my Ghost now. With the receiver at the back of the case it was beyond useless, and now it's mostly fine. Bluetooth connections are absolutely horrible still however.

    As soon as the DE and FR drops came in I logged into Scan to get the Captcha out of the way, and then waited for 14:30 to roll along in the hope that the links on the nVidia page went up. I've never so fervently hammered a keyboard before when putting my payment details in!

    I've just managed to snag a 3080 FE, 2 x of the 280 GTS rads and a 5900x this week, and was worried about the 3080 slightly as performance in my Ghost S1 isn't exactly stellar thermally. Excited to know it'll be ok on air in the Winter One even if there are any stock issues when trying to build...

    Although a bit of a disappointment simply as I'm extremely nervous about shipping to the UK (it's already an absolute disaster thanks to ports being completely swamped, then we have the looming prospect of actually leaving the EU without a deal thanks to years of government incompetence, now...
