Production FormD T1 Classic (READ FIRST POST)

[sffman]

weighs AROUND 1100g(2.43pounds) for all the CNC parts(without sidepanels), 1600g(3.52pounds) with sheetmetal components and sidepanels

It is still a little bit of heavy compare to all the other cases in the market, but better to be heavier to protect the parts instead of crumbled in ur luagge~ right?

Too heavy for me. I'm going to make a case out of aluminum foil.

 

[AMv8-1day]

Nope. Carbon fiber or get out.

Excluding USB-C I/O, this version with ultra fine filter side panel should be the base $200 version

I love this decision! I've always liked the way the Cougar QBX and Fractal Design Meshify series use this style, and think it's a great addition to the industrial look of the T1! Well done, good sir!

Now, let's take a couple steps back... I don't expect replies to everything I post, but I still have a legit concern I'd love to have you answer for me. This is in reference to my concern from page 44 about the premium two-toned edition being locked into the I/O you've designed. I initially said:

I know you've said there will be tiers of the T1 to purchase, and with that I hope there will be an option per tier to not include the I/O stuff. You've implemented both the SD slot and Type-C port subtly, but I'd rather not have either... and I certainly wouldn't want to have the tier I want locked into the I/O.

You partially addressed that post by saying:

The base tier will not have the Front I/O.

For both price and also availability reasons.

To which I replied:

That’s the concern... If you stick to what you’ve said about the two tone being the premium model... that’s the one I’d want... but I wouldn’t be interested in the I/O. Please offer the option to include it or not include it, b/c imo nothing ruins a clean case quite like an I/O...

That's still very much a concern of mine with the Sidearmd T1, and shame on me for not being more direct with an actual question for you. I'll do better this time...

@Wahaha360 Will there be an option for the two-tone premium version of the Sidearmd T1 that doesn't include the I/O?

I want the premium two tone version but man...I wouldn’t mind having this one either. Looks really good

 

[schn1tt3r]

I want whichever comes out first!

EDIT: Now that 3900x are out in the wild, does it still stand that you need the EISBAER to cool it on this case? Or would a smaller AIO be enough?
EDIT2: I also don't know where to order that cooler for US market.

 

[jtthejam]

I'm personally going for either the silver or two tone version (aluminium-cased keyboard + silver WH1000XM3 ) with front side I/O (as a photographer, a SD card slot is pretty much indispensable)

I'm liking this case more and more.
Sorry if it has already been asked but are there any plans on distributing to England?

Bitwit cooled the 3900x in the dancase a4 using the 92mm aio, albeit at above 90 degrees. A 120mm aio with a better fan and better airflow should be able to cool it, just dont expect full boost clocks.

Are those holes at the bottom different places to put the power button? If not, what are they for?

 

[AMv8-1day]

Very nice.
Can't wait to see some real world shots of this puppy in 2-tone trim.
Would also be very interested to hear about noise levels with that much mesh.
Anyone know if glass side panels are still on the table as an option?
Edit:
Nevermind, went back and checked against the 7/18 update. Can't wait for shots of the next prototype!

 

[chyll2]

Haha, I already burned the money I alloted for the supposedly base unit. Regretting it now

will there be still be a I/O cutout at the front panel for the base model?
will there be any option for future I/O add on if we opted for the base model now?

 

[Wildmongoose]

Hopefully not. People not buying the I/O probably wont want ugly holes in there case...

The left over aluminium is very thin around the I/os, is it cost efficient to machine them?

USB-C I/O upgrade kit planned for end of year.

USB-C I/O significantly more expensive compared to USB-A, just didn't want to make the case more expensive. For the people that are willing to pay extra $25, they can get it later in the year.

Don't want to be that guy BUT the search function works great, please use it.

16mm Vandal Switch power hutton.

Or

Watercooling (via M16 to G1/4 adapter). Having two holes allows your to bleed the air out of the loop.

regarding the paper small launch for the 5-10 cases, how and where will you make them avaible and will you notify us?

 

[Bonusround]

@Wahaha360, simple question: can the PSU be reoriented at all, or was this dropped?

 

[Brude27]

Ok, I'll try again. @Wahaha360

@Wahaha360 Will there be an option for the two-tone premium version of the Sidearmd T1 that doesn't include the I/O?

^Please answer the question.

Also, in reference to my post back in June (post #612)... Have you decided on case feet yet? They are the last piece of the puzzle now that you have shared your side panel renderings (which again, I'm very much a fan of), and I'm very excited to see the final version of this beautiful case you've created!
