Either that or I'll just import the backers (if I can) into the general KI mailing list so everyone's on the same page going forward.
Maybe bits of it, I can't publish the whole thing because I found in some of the earlier surveys that people would put their email address or name in some of the text fields.
Also, some people will be upset if they see that a option/color/feature/etc. they want got plenty of votes but we did not implement. So rather than expending time explaining why this color or that feature was dropped even though it was popular due to manufacturability/cost/schedule/etc. it's better to just not publish that data.
Maybe some statistics would be nice, I'd like to see how many purcent choose aluminium panels over schteel.
Suggestion --> Front-mounted SFX/SFX-L (limits front fan/rad to single 140mm/120mm)
Otherwise people might confuse this with dual 120mm or 120mm thick rads or whatever kids use these days.

If this 20% weight reduction would lead to noticeably lower international shipping cost, than I think this should be also mentioned in the survey on the "Design optimization" page, the "Panel material?" question.
If scratch resistance is the same, I personally would prefer aluminum panels and more affordable shipping (being EU-based).
Good idea
It doesn't, international shipping cost takes into account both the weight and the box dimensions. Since a case (even one with relatively thick steel panels) is mostly air, the dimensions are more important for determining shipping cost.

This is the final version, the responses to the draft surveys will be deleted so please fill this out if you want to leave feedback.
And Kung Fury is on my list of things to watch, just haven't gotten to it yet

Just to be clear, this is NOT a guarantee it'll be available for purchase, but grey is doing well in the survey so I figured I'd post a pic I had taken a while ago of it:
Also, only about 7% of respondents so far need the rear water tubing cutouts. The cost of the grommets to cover them are non-trivial, so I was thinking of reducing them to partial cutouts. That way the few who need them can use a dremel and finish cutting them out. Thoughts?

Out of curiosity, how will bare metal be achieved? Clear coat? If not, what sort of corrosion resistance can we expect?
As I probably will be, but be it automotive or model paint, they're not quite as good at keeping out nastiness as powder coats.
Ah well, I'll do some additional coats if need be for color adjustment.
I hope everybody got that when picking bare metal.
I can see some people expecting some kind of brushed look or something.
If the side panels were made from aluminium, you could actually do that yourself. That would also solve the problem of corrosion during shipping.
Bare metal --> chrome plating
Bring the bling !
I would guess an automotive coating would suffice, although the information on non-stainless steel isn't abundant about that.
Honestly, I'm not sure what I'd do, I primarily want a matte red one, a black one is also acceptable, but a bare metal one would allow me to go to my car dealer and having an automotive quality paint applied for 100€ or so.

Correct. Plus it's more expensive.
Having worked on a few of those mirror edition Antec P180s I don't know why anyone would want that, talk about a fingerprint magnet
