Completed DSE Breathe - A 7.3L Vertical Format ITX Tower

This is going to sound odd, but can you share the size of the holes and the distance between them on the case panels? I am trying to recreate a moiré pattern as seen on the first picture but I'm having trouble nailing it down.

Edit : Nevermind I got it

Do we have an updated timeline? We're pretty far past the last one of "end of April." Thanks!

I know I'm getting out of hand, but I'm now using a scythe 120mm fan with a phanteks halo added ontop, spinning at 700rpm. I'm fairly tempted to cut out a 120mm square to make the fan flush, but I know that's too much work just for aesthetics...lol.

Nice, is there a black halos ring?

Yep, there is a plastic one, and an aluminum one (the one shown in pic).

Ha...the TEMPTATION is real to make that cut out. At first I thought you actually did cut the cover - but then I saw that you just put it on top like the previous one.

Truth be told, I like how the previous fan looked better

Actually, my OCD would drive me crazy that the fan isn't centered on the face.

Still waiting.

@DSE Just confirming but the 1080 ti FTW3 works, right? Getting a pretty sweet deal on one

 

[jwlarocque]

Any updates on this beautiful thing?

Was thinking of the Ghost S1 but this case is beautiful. Would love to snag one. 8700k might be hard to cool with this case though :/

Sorry about the delays. Soon. Actually very soon. Like really, really soon.

DSE you're playing with my emotions. I was going through the paypal process on the Ghost S1.

Breathe V2 - A Render No Longer

Cases have been made and Sliger has done an excellent job as usual. Kahlin should have the page up on Sliger.com pretty soon after this.

Here's my build in the new case.
I kept everything the same from my previous build except for the cooler and new 8 inch long 24-pin cable, which was wonderfully made by Ensourced.

My impressions of the new case:
First of all, Sliger went ahead and changed the material to aluminum, so the case is very light. Still sturdy, but much lighter. We'll probably go back to steel for the next revision.

All my design changes and improvements went through to the physical case, so building in it was such a breeze, much, much easier than building in the prototype. The space between the PSU and motherboard is not that cramped anymore. I think users will be very happy with the new case.

Yep. That's all I have to say. I hope you can snag one before they sell out. Thanks for being patient with me.

@DSE That white color looks great. Hows the change to aluminum from steel, besides weight? I'm assuming the flex nature of steel from v1 i noticeably different?

Ikr, it really is stunning, especially when it's lit up in a dark room.

The difference in flex isn't that noticeable on most parts except for the motherboard tray and top panel, but everything is strong and rigid when all parts are put together. I don't have any worries with the case in its assembled state.

Whew. Sure, go for it. They seemed to like it last time lol.

 

[Damascus]

Damn, I have awful timing to get sick miss a week of work :|

Time to rustle up some casholo, any chance you could set one aside for me @KSliger? I have (just) enough for the case but not for shipping right now

 

[Damascus]

Oh and @DSE I have a c7, with an axp 100 + l9i en route! I've also got a slim no name chinese 120mm, slim scythe 120mm, slim cryorig140mm, noctua slim 92mm and two $5 Chinese 100mm slim fans

Testing time! I'll keep you posted

I have the axp-100RH I was testing for the ghost S1 but I don't think it'll fit with this case as it needs 67mm of clearance
