Update 2020-02-07 : 240AIO ppl, I made a new thread just for you

There is just too much congestion on this thread around 240AIO support. The LT240 will still work with T1, but for *common AIO support, a new thread

Concept - FormD T1 V2.0

2021-12-01: Discord Server We also opened a Discord Server because it's a better format for speedier feedback. So come and say hello. 2021-03-22: T1 EVO (aka V2.0) launch pushed to 2022Q1 Both the Mobo and GPU collaboration planned alongside for T1 EVO (aka V2.0) are pushed back due to global...

Update 2020-02-06 : Preorder on hold until virus situation settles in China.

Three reasons:
1. the virus has created a huge backlog and uncertainty for shipping, I don't want to take orders with this much uncertainty around shipping.
2. I have requested more T1s to be made, so delay preorders = the gap between availability will be days / weeks instead months.
3. more T1 availability = less anger and fighting on the forum, less disappointment.

Update 2020-02-04 : OptimumTech review video dropped - 9900K on 120 AIO can out perform 240 AIO, 240 AIO is really for the obsessed.

Update 2020-01-30 : OptimumTech video drops February 4th PST. We can't ship and must evacuate due to coronavirus outbreak in China (so we will not take orders) ?‍.

We have been notify to evacuate out of the country due to the unknowns surrounding the coronavirus outbreak. Warehouses and logistics companies are also required to do some sterilization (kill germs is the exact translation) during February. Unforuntately, this pushes the earliest possible shipping date to March 6th.
I know this sucks, but we can't control a virus outbreak, so it's FML situation on our end too.

So many ideas, so little time

Ok, I'll take one of each color, then make my own two-tone
That white/silver is awesome.

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

I created an account last July just to follow this case. I’ve had an LT240 and the SecuFirm 2 mounting kit, as well as custom SFX powersupply cables for a sandwich layout, waiting for this case, since August (during original projected pre-order). I also purchased a delidding tool and a der8auer direct die kit for my 9900K just to get temps even more managable with the T1.

I’ve been hooked on the case design since the space grey mockups, and the prototype that Optimum Tech originally covered last year. So much, that I immediately started to redesign my whole setup around the color scheme, including building a custom 60% keyboard with KBDfans spacegrey Tofu case, and a Ducky One 2 Mini that I installed hotswappable sockets in, and ZealPC Sakurios.

I completed my first SFF build in 2013 with a 4770K cooled by a H80i that I managed to fit into a Silverstone FT03-Mini after re-engineering with a dremel. I’ve been intrigued with the much more modern sandwich style layouts that you have helped pave the way with, and pioneer, but have been holding off for the right one. The Chimera MachOne was the first newer case design that pulled me back into the search for my next SSF case, which ultimately led me to your other case, the T1.

I’d be honored and more than happy and appreciative to take on the role of the NY/CT/MA slot if still available. Cheers and thanks!

I'll run for the Singapore slot.
Or as a backup for USA - SoCal, I'll be there in a month or 2 when I'm with my girlfriend for several months.

1. Been just a lurker on Smallformfactor.net mostly. This is my first post on the T1 thread.
2. I've built 2 Dan A4 (V4.0 and V4.1) for my girlfriend and I both in 2019, fully populated & full length 2 slot GPU. (645LT + 2 Slot GPU)
3. I was on Fractal Design Nano S custom loop (CPU+GPU) in a 240+120 rad layout on 10/12 acrylic tubings. I could do a LT240 with the T1 no problem.
If you need any of my build pics I'll have them in PM.

I also do own a HWBot / Streacom OBT Mini (BC1 Mini)

Let's simplify this, those who have posted in your local country meet up for a fight to the death. Whoever wins gets to test shipping (and might do some jail time if they get caught).

 

[darky122]

I have been a silent follower for a year and i have bought high-end components to build in this case
I would be happy to take the spot for Saudi Arabia.
I already have LT240 planning to mod it to fit. I was going to purchase the M1 but i decided to wait for the T1. It was a long wait lol, i am sure its going to payoff
Thank you.

Are there any rules to these encounters? Lol

But, where do we meet? And more importantly, who will pay for the travel expenses?

Of course the winner will loot the bodies of the fallen in Escape from Tarkov fashion. BTW (sorry to add to the nonsense) if you haven't played Escape from Tarkov it's great. I hate it. But its great lol.

 

[chyll2]

The first rule of Small Form Fight Club is: You do not talk about Small Form Fight Club.

Wow! I broke the only rule and it hasn't even started yet

usually i prefer a dark creepy corner in the city, easy for me to do dodgy stuff..

 

[notbitcoin]

So a full-scale gun battle for Texas, and... a slapfight for California?

(I kid, California bros. Dead serious about Texas though.)

well i just broke the ONLY rule in small form fight club...

 

[Odd_Fox]

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

I am saving now for the space grey and silver. Will the mesh be grey?

 

[pwnedundies]

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

I actually really like the slots in this manner. Much better than some others that I've seen. Like the sm560 are just huge and make it look too exposed for my taste. I don't love that the top and side patterns aren't the same though. With that said all I can see is this which I'm also a fan of this style

 

[h4ndcuffed]

Well, damn. I've been one of those followers that didn't even have an account because I checked multiple times a day so I could order as soon as possible. I don't have any of those other cases because I've been waiting for this case specifically. However, to your third point, I will ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY hardline water cool this beast (that was the goal anyhoo...) if you'd like to consider Las Vegas, Nevada, USA as an option for shipping lol.

 

[Navic]

I'll volunteer for the USA-Texas spot. I don't have an LT 240, but I do have a Corsair H60, and will soon have a ghost s1 as well.

Also, that new side panel design as well as the cerakote white look so, so good

 

[Odd_Fox]

Are there any plans to make the 'fans on top' the default orientation? I suppose it would mean the internals would have to be mirrored. Sounds like something that would be easy in the 3D model but maybe it's already too late from a production standpoint?
