I don't think it does make sense to partially replace screws with magnets on a single panel. If you were to replace screws on one panel with magnets, it would make sense, but for a case that's supposed to be transported making the panel magnetic could be risky. And yes, probably it would cost...

You can't optimise for too many types of devices. We wanted to address attaching hard drives in the GPU bay this way in 1.0/1.1, but barely anyone used those. The aim in 3.0 is to have improved airflow while supporting 120 mm fan mounting holes in GPU/CPU inlets/perforation on the big sides and...

I'm not sure if I'm getting this correctly. You mean something like the inverted letter "U" like it's a tractor/classic car engine cover? If that's what you mean, then It's a not go for two reasons: we want to get away from the cover panel being bent multiple times because it affects...

I think we've already said the general plan at the beginning of thread and also in few comments. We're investigating option of splitting the cover between two side pieces and simple panel with bent edges, but this requires complex stamping of those side pieces and also figuring out proper...

Someone asked us about this card before and this was the response when we were investigating that: So I think this is essentially the same size as 6800XT, just the card is measured differently. I guess kudos to AMD on sticking to what works and not going yolo with every new generation like...

Thanks for noting this one. It's 12,6 L in volume and it's effectively the same size as Falcon Northwest Tiki. Node 202 is 10,2 L so it's a significant bump in volume here as well. It looks like a significant improvement from Node 202 which IMO is terrible. This one is a lot better in terms of...

We have a concept of how Sentry 3.0 is supposed to look like and we have CAD designs at conceptual stage that are not yet finalised into actual mechanical design. There are various technical details that we are slowly investigating and taking into consideration one by one. It takes time however...

Interesting idea, but it's not just "little higher" than the 2U, it's actually more than a slot width taller, it's 24mm taller. It doesn't fit the case at all, sticks out on its own for over 8mm and I think that we'd end up with case being like 12-14mm thicker if were to use it. So it's a no-go...

It's really vague statement... In essence the problem with our case vs air filters is that we don't have case fans that are right next to those filters. Filters do have to block some airflow, the do reduce the surface through which the air flows/the cross section of the flow, there are...

The thing with mass production tooling is that we need to assume we'll keep selling those cases to get back the investment. When we'll have cases available off-shelf, we'll go through potential enthusiast/niche buyers fairly quickly and then we'll have to keep selling cases to more causal...

Two problems with this statement - one is that the support should not be about "go and tinker with the card to ensure that it's not pulling too much power". The components that are stated to be compatible and performing shouldn't be working properly only in certain scenarios. Yes, we know that...

It seems to me like the times of covid when they could sell the GPUs for astronomical prices to select lucky ones has shown nvidia that they can sell cards at such high price, and because of that they decided to double down on performance by selling those wealthy people two GPUs worth of...

We are planning to make the support for this, but in a slightly different way :) This is something a bit tricky. We can go two ways: The GPU supported is thicker than before, up to 2.5 slot. The consequence is once again a custom PCB riser, once again the size of the drives is significantly...

Here's another reason why ultra-high-end card is not always ideal choice for SFF system: And another reason for why we're reluctant to move forward with anything until we see how RTX 40xx actually looks like, because we may end up in a situation where we may have to cut off whole high-end...

We want to move to that internal type-C/type-E connector because we want to abandon the usb 3.0 20-pin plug which is terrible. I've checked with our supplier who made the usb headers and they could do these, but at the point we were asking about it, the ribbon style cables for them weren't...
