    Can you confirm it's not a GB? I was going to wait for the FormD T1 but this case satisfies a lot of my needs while being barely larger (wider for sure, but worth it for the CPU cooler clearance). Edit: Nevermind, it's a pre-order. I think I'm gonna hold out for the FormD T1 though, it's such...

    Production FormD T1 Classic (READ FIRST POST)

    I thought I had missed the T1 launch! I’m currently looking to move my build back to an all-air system and the T1 checks all the boxes now. I see test shipping is happening now, does anyone know if there is still a target date for the case to launch?

    I previously owned a Steck, its build quality was sub-par and while it does support 70mm coolers, I think the added room from small/med top hats really improve its performance by quite a bit. If I had to go back to a Steck, I wouldn't complain, but I'd like something a bit better built.

    Does anyone have any experience with the WDean Dora R1S? I’m interested in a Ghost clone that’s a bit wider (have a big Shuriken 3 I really want to use) and the Dora R1S looks like a good fit with medium and small top hat options. Does anyone have any experience with the quality? And does it...

    I definitely agree. When I initially started looking at classic style cases again, I saw the build log for the F15 and thought "oh yeah, this is the one" but then only found the F15 Pro available for purchase, which is WAY too large. I'm actually getting more comfortable with the F12 size...

    The C24/C26 are definitely unique cases. The Captain S V3 is up there as well, but I think the Deng F12 has this extra edge of polish. It would be nice if it had a 3rd slot though! I guess with the classic layout, you can't get too wacky. The layouts are good, but I'm not a fan of the...

    Well, I've dabbled with my share of Sandwich style cases and I think I'd like to give classic a try again. What're some of the top classic-layout cases on Taobao these days? I've got my eyes on the Deng F12 (F15 Pro is too large). I'm looking to stick close to the NCase in size. Any other...

    Going to smaller node will give you either better efficiency or more density. For the high-end, there's no reason not to go with more performance and deal with cooling with larger and larger coolers, as we've seen for the past decade. But even more importantly on top of that, I just think it...

    I have the Cube X1 awaiting me at my parents place in China, which can support up to 2.7 slot (I believe, it supports 55mm wide) GPU. I just wanted to be prepared for a future where full 3 slot thick (either GPU thickness or using 3 actual IO plates, hot damn) GPUs are the only way to get the...

    NCase M1 is a classic, But I’m looking to get something exotic since I have the opportunity to bring something home from China without fees/duties. I looked at the Warhead for a long time but I came to the conclusion that it’s build quality was going to disappoint me over time. There’s a few...

    Not bad at all! A little on the larger side because of mATX but that is definitely a candidate. I went back a few pages in this thread and I'm surprised I don't see anything with the Warhead Sans layout, just a little higher quality. I have the Cube X1 on order and every other sandwich case...

    Can someone recommend me a case on Taobao that supports a 3 slot GPU and 240 AIO cooling, and if possible, a handle (or at least a top panel sturdy enough for me to add a 3D printed handle)? I know this is basically an SM580 but I'm not a fan of Sliger's side panel ventilation hole shape, and I...
