Stalled DICE CASES - FLOW : expandable SFF case for watercooling enthusiast (built in distroplate)

[diceboii13]

Also, apologies for the double post, i just got really excited about the case fite me. The gap in the seen when the case is in full extra large mode i assume will be covered by the side panels/glass upon expansion?

Sorry for the late respond, If you purchase 2 seperate size distros/backplates you can expand the case to these 2 sizes.

Because of the size of the base height of the case, when you expand it to the maximum, there will be little gaps in the sides. I can cover it, but when you close the case, there will be smaller sideventilation. If this bothers you, I will cover it.

Any other way to pay? Barion doesn't take debit cards.

The website won't complete my transaction.

I think I will send you a paypal invoice to complete these transactions soon. Pls PM me here or through the website about your config and shipping adress, and send email pls. Or you can pay with bank transfer to my business transferwise account.

Ordered, can't wait!!

I have a few questions, and I apologize if these have already been asked:

1. What all do I need to mount the D5 to the distro plate? O-ring, bracket?
2. Will any D5 work?
3. Anything special to keep in mind for 280mm rads?

Hoping to buy parts for the build soon ?

1. Mounting a D5 to the distro is a manly work, but all the orings, brackets will be included. I think D5s comes with an oring, that is needed for the mounting. Ill include a mounting manual that will help.
2. In my knowledge, every D5 will work, and had same dimensions. Only EKs spinning part bigger a bit, but it will work aswell.
3. X-flow rads are tricky to use, but workable. I think nothing special.

I have also placed my order. One question about shipping, how are you going to pack the tempered glass to ensure it will arrive safely ? I have received shattered glasses on countless occasions and hope that this one comes nicely!

We gonna use relatively thick foams at packaging. I do my best to pack it right, and even postal service has insurance for that, so if somehow the glass brokes, I can send you a replacement.

 

[diceboii13]

What are the manufacturing lead times like? When do you anticipate first orders starting to be shipped?

I hope in mid April. I gonna send Andy these orders, and he will start working on it asap. As my metal manufacturer asweell. They said it needs about a week for manufacturing it, then another week to paint it. So about 2 weeks after the Preorder ends. They can work before I send them the money, but the chinese are not. So I hope they will be as fast as before. Honestly this is my first project like this so I cant promis dates, but Ill do my best!

 

[diceboii13]

I just place my order. In the chance that my address changes before this ships, would I be able to change the address it ships to?

Sure PM me then.

 

[diceboii13]

Also If I forgot to answer somebodys question, just pm me as many times as you can, I will!

Just to let everyone know, The D5 G2 from Ek, if you buy it standalone, comes without o-rings. I hope it fits fine, because the pwm is way better than the standard 655.

Yes and orings for these D5s are like 1-2usd, if somehow someones didn't got one.

A word of advice, look into injecting the SLI bits into your BIOS, as opposed to hacking drivers. The former is known to work, the latter hasn't worked in some time.

Gpus are gonna be used with redshift for rendering so need to worry about SLI. I’m not much of a gamer

Awesome, in that case you're good to go. Just a heads up looks like Redshift doesn't take advantage of Quadro cards any better than GeForce, so dual 2080ti or the like would be the way to go, unless you're VRAM-bound.

Interesting, I wouldn't mind getting the gaps covered... i'll email you about that.

Would also love if there was an option to have the gaps covered!

Yep, I think about this gaps today too.

@Diceboii I have a question about the rear panel (where the motherboard IO and graphics card mount is). If you select the 'Covered' option at checkout, both the front acrylic panel as well as the rear panel will fully extend to cover the total height of the case with the expand level we picked right? (i.e. there will be no gaps both on the front panel distro plate as well as the back).

I did leaf through the last 5-10 pages but I don't see this being asked yet.

Yeah, but its cant be seen in the configurator because I was created these renders in a rush and forgot about it. So dont worry it will be covered aswell as the front.

@diceboii13 Hey man, quick question as this is getting a bit out of hand. Does this whole pandemic thing affect your production in any way? Was just wondering if we should expect delays or such.

P. S. Hope everyone bought toilet paper, cuz i can't find any anywhere ?

Wonder if I can use some of my watercooling parts to build a temporary bidet?

 

[AllXFrag]

Hope your d5 is a good quality one then!

I've been locked up in the house for two weeks now, and two more are left...
this fucking virus is upsetting everything,
when this case arrives ... I think I'll try to loop with AMUCHINA instead of EK fluid! ?
Stay safe, we'll survive!
