Production FormD T1 Classic (READ FIRST POST)

How is that Prototype 2 looking? Motherboard toasted? We're dying here.

95% there. I just need to make small millimeter here and there tweaks.

The machining tool path looks so cool, it's shame I have to sandblast and anodize.

It's almost hypnotic. CNC cases now, what's next, forged damascus?

This post marks the start of a grand journey...

Yes. A case made out of this please.

@Wahaha360
do you have the rest with CNC pattern? What it looks like. I agree, it really looks good

 

[SirJack]

Well I'll take one in maxamet; it's not like I'll have to sharpen it anyways . It will also never scratch.

Just sandblast it and let us buy it

Testing High Ventilation Panel (expensive) vs Lower Ventilation Panel (cheaper).

The Ghost S1 uses 3mm holes, the T1 will use 4mm holes, so the Lower Ventilation Panel still has more ventilation.

The real challenge is cost, higher ventilation = 25%-40% more holes to be drilled, if you factor in failure rate (more holes = more likely to warp panel), that's going to be $15-$30 extra per panel depending on MOQ. For people running mid level setups, I don't know if it's even worth it.

Why not be eclectic, 3 mm holes + high ventilation density?

More and smaller holes. Even more expensive and time consuming. So I get that he wants them bigger. For sure.

Larger holes may have a higher chance to warp the panel since the distance between the edges of two holes are smaller.

New member, just wanted to drop in and show my support. Amazing case, was going for the Ncase V6 but this changed my mind completely, glad to find something that will house Strix cards in such a small enclosure.

Currently using a modified evolv shift that i won't be missing, eventhough i got it thermally working the size is just not comparable obviously.

this bare ALU goodness makes me happy ....

nice project

 

[Ca11idus]

This sexyness makes me want to upgrade from the Ghost S1.

@Wahaha360 You said a mm here and there... Does that indicate a need for a Prototype 3 or too soon to tell?

 

[Roen]

Same, I've messed around with aircooling for the longest time on the Ghost, but will be looking at watercooling now.

 

[wanderingLlama]

Just wanted to chime in saying I will happily pay for the more expensive higher ventilated side panels over the lower end ones.

Hey waha. Can it fit GPU with morpheus2 cooler w/o fans? Can be interesting temps with 150-180w gpu

 

[GerryMz]

just a question, is the Corsair H60 the only 120mm aio that's fully built from out of the box that would fit in the case? or is there other 120mm aio that could fit?
i'll most likely cool the 3700x so im not too worried about temps !

Custom unsleeved cables should save a ton of space. Just like the grey ones in the previous T1 picture.I wonder where Wahaha got them, they look really nice.

I have similar cables for my Flex ATX PSU I got from Geeek.
At Geeek they started offering custom cable for SFX PSUs too.
They look identical.

It should in the 3 slot config. It most likely will fit in the 3 slot config with slim fans like the sm560 does.
