    Prototype Project Orthrus - Smallest SLI mATX case (V2)

    One of my favorite stories is the part where you're casting something in plastic, and when you go to a production cast, the plastic for the end product may have enough variation in it's composition so as to change the amount of shrinkage you get when cooling the part. And then of course the part...

    Hope my tempering of your expectations helped, here we are in late April without THE announcement. @LukeD keep us updated, there's a bunch of peeps here who want to give you our money! Hopefully you've kept count so you can have an idea of what to charge to recover development costs while not...

    Fair enough, if you've funded anything on Kickstarter for instance, you'll know they ALWAYS run late, manufacturing is actually a surprisingly difficult thing.

    This is the kind of inference that product owners hate. You make it seem like Luke has promised to deliver cases, when what he's said is that he's going to make an announcement. My first reaction to that was, he'll probably announce that he's signed a deal for a production line, or that he's...

    Sounds like a need for a mining setup, not a gaming setup, we don't currently have gaming grade displays with enough pixels to demand Quad-SLI. Even the Vive Pro probably won't demand that much video processing.

    That whole idea doesn't very well fit into a small form factor. Especially when those old boards didn't have a lot of sensors to monitor and manage thermals, so it'd be awfully difficult to stack them very tightly into a tiny space.

    I bet the benefits you get of non-scratching tempered glass aren't worth the extra cost of getting tempered glass with holes in it. I don't think you can drill holes in tempered glass, so you'd need to mold it with holes while it was still molten glass which sounds a little sketch. Caveat: I'm...

    @knarf I'm pretty sure the case will fit in your backpack anyway. It'd be cool getting to your lan party with a backpack and pulling out your Dual SLI system.

    Signed up for this forum just to let @LukeD know there's at least one more interested purchaser.
