Agreed. I'm very excited for it, but to be honest I'm disappointed that the side panels will be black even if you choose a silver case. I would have loved a completely silver case with a wood front. I'll probably just go with a black case now with a wood front. It looks like we also got a sneak...

Big updates today! Josh posted a video to the NFC YouTube channel going over some color options and pricing. It's going to be $175 to $195 depending on picking PCIe 4 VS 5. It's not out just yet but Josh said it will be out very soon. https://ncased.com/products/s5m?variant=53426652709032 I...

I agree; Josh said the following on Discord a few days ago: "The S5M supports the 4090FE and 4080 SUPER FE, which are 3 slot GPUs 305mm in length, SFX-L power supplies, and can match 54mm of cooler height, so yes, the loadout is similar. I have no idea what the GPU length for the Tetra S is, so...

Josh just showed off some beta 3D renders (subject to change) of the case in his Discord. It's good to see some of the bones of this case in its entirety. This is based on a beta CAD preview of the Skyreach 5 MINI. Dimensions and details may change.

I want to go on record that I'm winging it by measuring pixels and with the knowledge that an IO shield is about 44.5mm. I could be 100% wrong with my estimate. But, it looks like the case could be around 80 to 85mm thick. Taking panel thickness, standoff height, etc into account the max cpu...

I completely agree. I've been trying to use the IO shield cut out to guesstimate the max cpu height.

I understand they want to pace their teasers and not reveal everything until they have things more finalized; but, I really wish they would give a case overview. It would have been interesting to know what the issues were with the prototypes.

I'm so excited to see how this turns out! Hopefully Josh shares some pictures of the prototypes.

I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir, but to put in my two cents, I don't think it makes sense to lower the CPU cooler height limit. The amount of options for CPU coolers is already pretty limited and even 'mainstream' CPUs push out a lot of heat. It makes far more sense to wait out the GPU...

I said it was A video that featured the Sentry 2.0. Not a very educational one :). I think I've started to become numb to his inability/refusal to follow directions. I was basically screaming at the livestream he did with this case. His videos are great for coverage, but not always for educating...

Linus has another video featuring the Sentry 2.0. It's nothing really new, but it's just nice that this case is still getting coverage. It also has a chance to win the PC, but that's obviously highly unlikely.

The Zaber team regularly updates this GPU compatibility list:

It's a shame that people can be turned off by realistic and honest estimates. I've seen it on other crowd funding projects as well. I think people just get used to unrealistic goals and expect a delay. Even if you lost some people over the estimate I think it will benefit you over the long run...

Hey guys, I'm also normally over at [H[ardforum, but ZomiPL and SaperPL wanted me to share my review with you as well. I'm not fancy enough to have a video, but I'll put my review below. It's in a spoiler so no one has to scroll past a wall of text every time they revisit this page...
