Production FormD T1 Classic (READ FIRST POST)

[Basriy]

I've built my case, uploaded some photos, filled in the survey. But after that nothing happened, just enjoying my build. Hope I didn't fall short of admins/producers' sympathy. ?

Been following the SFF scene, and came across videos optimum tech did on the FormD T1 and absolutely fell in love. Been building PCs as a hobby since 2009, my current build is in an NZXT h210 and it looks like a giant compared to proper SFF. Hope to make this my first SFF build! Thanks!

You didn't cross a T and you missed a dot on an I

The next one is Ryzen Zen 3 4000 (Gen4 according to AMD)
APU same digits (3000) but previous Gen (Gen2 Ryzen+)
Mobile is 1digit further (4000) but actual Gen (Gen3 Ryzen 2)

It’s a mess, ahahahhaha!!

Not Intels mess, 10980xe+2.0v6.9 or some shit lol

Any ideas on how to fit Two 3.5" HDD in this case? guessing i'll just not have fans in this case lol, if it's even possible to get one when it becomes available.

You can't fit 2 HDDs in this case, at best 1 SSD behind the front panel

Challenge accepted. but with no date limitations lol

@fabio is 2 HDDs possible in the T1?

You mean, OFFICIALLY or IF There is just space to have them properly placed? ?

If you can fit a 25mm fan you can fit a 3.5" HHD. Mounting is another story. Will be cool when people start producing custom mounting that can be 3D printed.

Another place would be in the GPU side. Depending on the length of your card you could probably put a drive there and not sacrifice your fan mount area.

Just for sharing...

My build specs:
intel skylake 6600 + noctua L12S
gigabyte h170n-wifi
zotac gtx 1070ti mini
ram 16gb DDR4 2133mhz
corsair sf600 platinum
m.2 SSD x 1
2.5 inch SSD x 1
3.5 inch HDD x 1 (yes, i put it in, why not?)

*Temporary system - problem with Ryzen 3600 system

riser installation: i believe i got it right this time... i hope...

Note: need to decide from start whether to flip the case or not if using L12S, because the cooler fins will not fit in horizontal orientation, ideally the heat pipes orientation need to be from bottom going upwards

Yes, there's a 3.5 inch drive there, why not?
Note: fan touching the side panel because the GPU is not perfectly straight, had to put some pads

Note: for 2.5 inch SSD, ideally use 90 degree cable for both sata & power


Weirdly... I'm not a RGB fan but now i wish there's a bit more RGB goodness...


During the build, i realized how each piece is carefully designed to be modular, functional
It's not just an amazing case, it's art
The things missing now: the custom power switch for T1 and some custom cables

Thanks for this amazing product! Hopefully stock will be constantly available for others

Looking forward to see how others build theirs

One of the test shipper had a build where he managed to install a 3.5" HDD (unofficially) at the bottom (without a 240 rad), you can take a look at the 3rd picture he posted.

Do you know who else is doing an all air-cooled T1 ?

I'm working on it. I was told I can't bring liquids into one of the labs I work in. I think I might just say screw it and build a cheap desktop for that lab though.

Hello everyone! I came across this beauty and now I am absolutely in love. I tried to find how to buy it but it looks like will have to read all the 286 pages ... how can I buy FormD-T1?

Has anyone tried the "quick disconnect method" to fill their small form factor loop? Optimum Tech mentioned it in one of his videos that he was waiting for specific quick disconnects to try it out but then ended up not doing it.

I assume it works by having two sets of disconnects, one in your loop and then the other set attached the reservoir. You attached the reservoir and fill up the loop normally, then you disconnect the reservoir and reattach the two ends of the quick disconnects. Completely filled and bleed loop without needing to have a reservoir permanently in your system.

Anyone have any tips or advice about whether to use this method?

yes, that’s how I fill my loop.

The next batch will be available approximately end of June. Refer to Page 1 for future updates.

Is there a recommended parts guide anywhere? Case looks amazing. Also, is a that a USB 3.1 slot on the white version? What is the slot above it?
Thanks.

Update 2019-07-18 : USB-C and SD Card Front I/O for those so curious

As far I know this was just in the render and it's not decided if it's gonna happen, so at the moment there is no I/O on the case itself (apart form the board I/O on the back obviously).

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.

Also there are not many itx boards that have got an usb-c header anyway.
Everything else, like measurements and recommended parts you can find in the first post or search this thread.

 

[umicro]

Damn, this is amazing - if everything ramps back up by end of year. this will be gold.

 

[bowman9991]

Hope he at least keeps the usb-c. When Oculus Quest 2 comes out I'd hook it up directly to the front of the PC. Perfect VR machine. :-)

I have been interested in building in <10L for a while and I think this is the case I want to build in! I just spend the last 5 hours reading through 280+ pages of this forum, but I am super surprised by all of the build's development and all your guy's builds. Extremely impressed by what you guys can push the case to and it has got me sucked in! I'm excited for everyone!
