Yeah, the horizontal layout as-is just reminds me far too much of what I hate about the ghost: the stupid looking lines with top hats. The same kind of line that really bugs me about the front of the current T1. I'd really like that to be avoided in a case that strives to achieve the same kind...

Well, in terms of the horizontal layout I do prefer how more coherent this looks. I find the single line on the original T1 at the front completely kills it for me (similar to my opinions of the Ghost with tophats), but at least this is somewhat more integrated. I do think it'll have to grow on...

Yeah, I feel that adding a second 2.5" mounting point over side I/O is not the way to go, when tape literally solves all problems and its almost unanimous that side I/O > any other. Too bad. Was hoping I'd at least get something out of the increased size. To be perfectly honest the more this...

Must say I do find it a bit amusing how I was adamantly hard against any increases in size but I honestly don't think the addition of a single 2.5" is that big of an issue, given the above conversation. 3.5" yeah sure, I can argue against that one all day.

11/10 reply.

This is a pointless discussion because you can just stack the drives with tape and solve literally all the problems. The point of what I said was that you can stack the drives, thereby only needing a single 2.5" slot - allowing for the side I/O that most people seem to prefer. Everyone wins...

You need to stop getting your pants all twisted because people have differing opinions. I am seeing nothing that is directly insulting or disrespectful. Disagreeing with Dan on some of his decisions is not disrespectful, even if you think it so. Dan is just one man, and he's not always right. If...

Whilst my thoughts on the flex layout are pretty well known at this point, I would personally consider the return of the much nicer looking side I/O as a bonus, at the very least. One SSD mount is not a problem, people are overblowing it. We have had a single SSD mount in the front of the NCASE...

You may as well as forget this layout entirely if the compromise is the damn AIO cooling.

It's not really interesting because they have directly told you why they're arguing against it: They're sick of the constant revisions every time you seem have to cemented on a design. It's tiring, it builds up false hopes, and then they just don't care anymore. There are zero guarantees that...

I think I have made it perfectly clear that I consider the increase a complete deal breaker, yes. I and quite a few others. Of course we're not going to care too much about the business side - that doesn't do anything for me. I want a case that works for me, just as you do. I'll argue for that...

The arguments for keeping HDDs seem to keep boiling down to 'but what if I want to travel?' and I'm gonna be real honest with you - show me good data that more than a single digit % of people on here actually need to regularly transport their case for it to be an issue. It's likely even more of...

Not to be that guy, but I'm gonna be that guy. I couldn't care less about 3 slot wide cards. People should be using 2-2.5" cards as temps are never the issue they used to be given proper airflow. Anyway, back to the shadows for me. Good luck with the brawl.

You're absolutely right that I was using hyperbole to make it obvious how pointless using the IT industry to justify your point was. Nothing more, nothing less. It was unnecessary to push the point you originally wanted to make, which was purely cost. As for the A4, well, that's a different...

It'd be one of a kind! Think of all those girls you'd get from the bragging rights.
