Production FormD T1 Classic (READ FIRST POST)

When will aluminum side panels be available? Will it be an add-on or sold with the case?

@Wahaha360 Would you consider 3rd alternative between GPU size and CPU cooler?

Right now you are proposing :

• 2 slots GPU and 70mm cpu cooler height
• 3 slots GPU and 50mm cpu cooler height

Why not considering this case :

• 2.7 slot GPU and 56mm cpu cooler height?

Why am I proposing that?
Because with cpu cooler of 60mm you are gaining access to really good cpu cooler, like id cooling IS-60...and keeping 2.7 slots gpu compatibility opend access to pretty nice balanced GPU.

IS60 is not a game changer compare to L9I, or Cryorig C7 with a Noctua Slim Fan, so I just didn't bother.

 

[Wahaha360]

Thank you for the reply.
There's probably lots of things to consider. The mesh hides some screws in the back right? So the back panel would need to have different connectors like the front one?
Plus then it'd be needed to make the mesh slide from the top?

Pretty much, but the #1 issue is size increase.

Add-on only, not standard. Aluminum side panel is going to make thermals worse, the mesh is the best for 1) thermals and 2) strength.

This is actually the bigger problem. Even if I make more T1, the shipping situation in China is unknown at the moment, so I will just have inventory sitting in warehouse.

From Hong Kong here, just wish you and your family good health. Take care great care if you work in China/HK area, and also for your family.

I evacuated to Taipei, but thanks. Best wishes to you too.

For strength too? Colour me surprised!

well IS60 is way more silent than L9i or C7 while providing slighty better performance..

But I respect your point of view that L12S is clearly above..

We have to drill a lot of holes in the aluminum panels as well.

The mesh panel is made from 1mm thick SECC steel. I prob should do a drop test to quantify, but holding 1mm mesh in my hand, I think 2mm aluminum panel with a lot of holes will be weaker.

When will the front IO/ two tone model be available?

 

[Ehtan98]

Wh

Nope. At the moment the only one that fits is the eisbaer lt240 put it requires you to take it apart and put new tubing etc etc., so it's not officially supported

how many Millimeters of space is there for fans and a radiator? How much between the panel and the PSU and also how much between the panes and the motherboar?

See @Wahaha360 ’s answer below.

The Front I/O controller will requires a controller which makes it as expensive as a USB-C hub, and I might just drop it - will decide after Computex, it’s low priority atm.

How much clearance is there for a fans and a radiator? Also how much clearance between the panel and the PSU and the panel and the Motherboard?

In the optimum tech video, 43 mm under motherboard and 35mm + 25mm under PSU. Width is the primary restricting dimension, at exactly 120mm

Any idea of when the white and silver version will be available?

Christ this question is asked every 7th post.

Q3 2020 rough guesstimate.

That is because the two tone was the original design that everyone associates with the sidearmd. The black version just came out of nowhere.

The two tone was silver and gray, not white and silver (can't anodize white):

Anyone else just pop a semi?

Came out of nowhere! You make it sound like @Wahaha360 is just making this up as it comes to him.

Check Update 2019-08-08

It is standard practice on this forum to put updates in the first post. It has been stated MULTIPLE times within the last two weeks of this thread that two tone would come out later this year. The black version has been known about for 6 months.

The reason I banned myself from posting until now is because while many people think I am rude (which is totally understandable), the information they are looking for is 90% of the time in the first post. Along with photos charts and anything else related to this case. The information is there.

@Wahaha360 is working his butt off to make sure this case is nothing short of flawless perfection. The least we can do is skim through the pages and learn what we can about the case and ask the questions if we can't find the answers.

I might be an ass but I try and take the time to dig deep for information.
