    Concept SENTRY 3.0: Development and Suggestions

    We're aiming to support properly Cryorig C7, regardless of it's shortcoming, so it's a 47mm cooler that had 1mm of space to perforation. We will probably have +1.5~1.75 mm more so it'll be 2.5~2.75mm now which should be better.

    Concept SENTRY 3.0: Development and Suggestions

    2.5 slot GPU with standard 2U risers and proper support for 48mm air coolers is what we're aiming for. If we'd want to support thicker cards, then it means longer riser or lower cpu cooler and (in both cases) no 2.5" drive support. On top of that 3 slot cards would be so heavy that relying on...

    And yet, you still have the rubber o-ring outside on the power button and not on the inside... :P

    Concept SENTRY 3.0: Development and Suggestions

    It's just barely 3.5 years, I think, since we've sold last 2.0 batch post-campaign, not 6 years... And in the meantime we had covid pandemic. We're working on the design step by step when we can, but it's still not a priority project for now.

    Concept SENTRY 3.0: Development and Suggestions

    We're considering going thicker by 1~1.25mm and lowering the standoffs by 0.5mm or 1mm if possible, but the last one might be against ATX spec so we're not so keen on that. Anyway in total we might be able to be in 50mm height of coolers, but that additional ~2mm of space should be considered as...

    Concept SENTRY 3.0: Development and Suggestions

    The point was for high end card to be in reasonable size and power draw, but yeah 4070 is something that makes more sense. Also I feel like we got to a point where 4K is not really a must have for everyone, it's just some fraction of player that must have that top ultra quality performance, so...

    Concept SENTRY 3.0: Development and Suggestions

    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...

    Concept SENTRY 3.0: Development and Suggestions

    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...

    Concept SENTRY 3.0: Development and Suggestions

    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...

    Concept SENTRY 3.0: Development and Suggestions

    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...

    Concept SENTRY 3.0: Development and Suggestions

    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...

    Concept SENTRY 3.0: Development and Suggestions

    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...

    Concept SENTRY 3.0: Development and Suggestions

    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...
