Stalled DICE CASES - FLOW : expandable SFF case for watercooling enthusiast (built in distroplate)
- Thread starter diceboii13
- Start date
So I try to take some pictures from all the colors in the workshop. Because some countersunks arent deep enough, there are some tolerance issues, so I cant screw down the top/bottom panels everywhere, but these issues are already fixed. The metal parts are in making, but I dont know how much time it takes, sorry for that this is my first project, so I cant say a proper date. When it arrives, I will ship. Probably 1-2 weeks.
That's ok! I'm sure everyone here would rather wait a little while longer than have defective cases. Looking great and I'm sure we'll have v1 shipped to our doors soon!
Considering how short a time you first came up with the concept for this case and how close you are already to shipping I have to say it is pretty amazing.
you are doing awesome given how far you've come so quickly and everything going on in the world you are killing it. And seriously I might have to DM you about changing my orders paint color from black to blue because that blue just looks SOOOO GOOD
Looks really good that blue color, i prefer it to be a bit darker, for me it is the perfect color that it should be. Probably not what you expect but i think you should keep it.So, the lagune is arrived, its a bit different than I expected, but looks really cool IRL. I try to post some side by side pictures about it today later, or tomorrow with the other 2 colors.
(Its actually darker irl)
Thanks lot diceboii13
Can't wait to order that Case
Finish work looks great, such a clever case with a unique aesthetic. Love the blue, though not as good as what was originally intended, it's still a cool color.
Some update: I tested the distros that Andy sent, and they are dead silent at 100% pump pressure, and really well machined so Im really proud. They will come with protective foil.
One bad thing tho: I stuggled a lot with finding black screws for the distro, that are actually stainless. Its harder than it sounds. I run through a lot of it, and none of them worked really well, somehow all of them got rusted after a couple of days. Tried Chinese ones, but the black color of the screws looked washed out and very unevenly spread in the surface. There are a couple anodized ones for 0.5euro/piece, that are way too expensive, considering more than 20 needed for one distro. So we gonna use regular stainless steel screws to prevent rusting. Sorry about that, but currently that the only safest way. It can be easily swapped out in the future, if needed, while the pump running. I tested it, and one by one, I can change all of the screws without leaking

I'm more than happy with the stainless steel ones. As the distro is clear the black screws would have just been much more visible. Keep up the good work! ??
Yes, but a bit out of budget still. Maybe in the next batch. ?
When will be next batch? Or may be some cases now is free and can be ordered by another person.
Also hyped for the next round! This case is a unicorn!
@diceboii13
Can we have the measurements of the screws just in case we want to swap them?
I know a guy that can provide me with some white ones that I would like to try

M4x20 countersunk metric screws, but in the front Mx25 can also work.
Would be down to get some from your guy as well, if possible.
