Production FormD T1 Classic (READ FIRST POST)

[incunabula]

Is the eventual two-toned version still planned to be black/silver instead of gray/silver? Will gray silver ever be an option?

Black >>> Black + Silver >>> Space Gray + Silver (will be quite expensive ~$300 due to the exotic finish)

Wait for the new case, Tmach1 for a wider compatibility with 240mm radiators and AIO's.

Just when I thought I had all the information cemented in my brain. I thought the Tmach1 was going to be a custom AIO. I am going to caulk it up as baby brain (got a 1 week old newborn at home stealing my sleep lol).

Anyway. Considering the performance of the LT240 and its still accessible price. I think I would be perfectly happy with the regular t1. But I understand if people just want to be able to grab a mainstream 240mm unit.


OP. Do you plan on sharing recommended fittings and tubing for making the LT240 work? or should we wait for Optimumtechs video for further clarification.

I dont recall seeing this asked anywhere. But have you considered cerakote? its pretty popular in the custom mech scene for making white alu cases. In fact im typing on a white cerakote board right now

Personally I think it will cheapen the look of the case and it won't look anywhere near as good as what @Wahaha360 is planning

really? have you held a white cerakoted piece of Alu? The case I have in front of me looks and feels amazing. I have had and used dozens of anodized alu mechs also. Cheap isnt what comes to mind when you handle cerakote but I have seen plenty of blotchy and uneven anodized cases. But each their own I guess.

Thought I would clarify. I wasnt suggesting cerakote replace ano. Just cerakote as an option for alternate colours. Ano can and does look amazing. But you cant ano white.

Where do you get fancy keyboards like that? I’ve been looking for something that matches the quality of the T1.

Perhaps @Wahaha360 can make a keyboard? ?

Let's just let @Wahaha360 do his thing with the case. It's his creation and vision

r/mechanicalkeyboards is a great place to browse peoples builds.

kbdfans is a great store to get everything you need. https://kbdfans.com/

And Geekhack is the equivalent to this forum.

Enjoy the rabbit hole. And itss funny you want a keyboard to match the quality of of the T1. Im looking at the T1 to match the quality of my keyboards haha.

@Wahaha360 will it be possible to purchase the Space Gray + Silver panels separately in the future if we already have the black case since we will already have the frame? Just thinking there might be an upgrade path:

1. Get base black case.
2. Purchase tempered glass side panels when available.
3. Purchase Space Gray + Silver front, top, and bottom panels...

The default fittings on the LT240 will work, just the tubes length needs to be adjusted, that's really it.

TO do so you will certainly have to refill the loop and remove bubbles again, and that's a pain. Hence why it's just not user friendly, which is why I don't want to officially support it.

I been wanting to make a Black & White case for a while, Cerakote white has my attention. Where should I get a sample?

The trick is can my factory quality control it, making one off samples is not the problem.

I *really want to make a T1 keyboard, similar to the Asus Claymore concept, 87 key with hot-swap Numpad & switches, I have been thinking about contacting Taeha Types for one off for myself (I can make casing, still need everything else) ?

we are getting OT but man, do it. A 84 key (75%) hot-swap can be part of your consideration?

edit: Philippines represent! but if someone will do watercool, I am willing to wait.

 

[cahill]

I’d take the California slot if available. I am new to mITX builds but this case got me excited to give it a shot. Totally understand if you’re looking for experienced builders though!

Edit: If it helps, my current plan is a high end build using a 120mm AIO similar to the OptimumTech layout so I can easily swap GPUs (Ampere isn’t too far away).

 

[Wahaha360]

@SSJ4, Cerakote white could be interesting as alternative to Silver.

?dude, that new panel.
