I really like the Trego and have a rather unique use-case question. My workstation is currently utilizing the TRX40 Aorus Xtreme and its included single-slot NVMe PCI-E riser card; is it possible to fit 2 risers to utilize said expansion card with a dual-slot GPU?

Checked it and yes, can use 2x riser cards in this. Will be a tight fit on the cables, but will work. Will post a picture of our prototype system with two cards installed.

Haha is there an SFF case where cabling isn't a tight fit? I look forward to the picture and hopefully getting my rig downsized for more easy travel with less than 100% work-from-home likely starting in the not too distant future.

Dimensions are the same for the two cases? There must be a typo.

Sorry yes, fixed it now!

 

[Retrias]

the cable will have to go through the motherboard ?

 

[Kreasu]

Im so excited for the trego! I've been checking everyday to see if I can buy it haha

Same! Keep checking here and on Reddit for a hopeful May announcement

 

[Tuscany]

Is it possible to flip the case, so the radiator is at the bottom. Or in other words - so the HW can face the other direction? My PC is on my left

I've heard that pump on top and rad on bottom is bad for longevity

 

[Dragonslayer]

Is there a release date for it since am looking for an console style case for my high end matx gaming pc

 

[Dragonslayer]

The trego looks perfect

 

[eee]

I just found out about the trego and I really like it, are there any updates or etas you could share at the moment? Or even just a confirmation that these will be produced? Thanks in advance!!

 

[SpringerTheNerd]

Is that 17L one every gonna make it to market? Been waiting on it since it was posted about on Reddit maybe a year or so ago. Really looking forward to it.

 

[Arboreal]

Maybe @KSliger can comment.
My understanding is that these 2 were put on hold when Sliger moved factory late last year and that they would be working on them this year.

I reached out to their support later in the day and they said "Currently our tentative goal is March, but we'll have more concrete details later."

I first saw this case about a year ago on Reddit and I'm just glad to hear it hasn't been abandoned. Really looking forward to getting my hands on this case.

That's good news, particularly if it's this half of the year.
I haven't owned an ATX PC for 15 years, and the thought of cramming ATX into 17 L appeals.
I know that @riba2233 has done amazing work with 15 and 10L ATX cases, the Elko just appeals to me.

I have both the P-ATX and N-ATX. Been in the N for a long time now. I'm interested in moving to this one for the 92mm fans on top and I like the way the PSU is situated.

EDIT: I didn't proofread this and I'm confused at what I was saying.... maybe "been running the N-ATX for a long time now"
