Production FormD T1 Classic (READ FIRST POST)

[Nomo]

I assume once they start producing the v1.5, they will stop making the v1.1, just like when they went from v1.0 to v1.1.

W360 has mentioned in the past that v1.5 would be simpler to manufacture, because the original design for the T1 was supposed to only be used to make 200 cases only, and then never made again, therefore the case was never refined to be produced at scale. By simplifying the design in ways that keep the functionality of the case the same, but reducing the complexity for the machines making them, you can reduce the cost of the case. This is what I assume is happening to make the case cost less now (an example being that the front panel is now one piece instead of two, which cuts down on potential defects and is easier to make)

In ur personal opinion, should I buy this T1.1 in July or wait for T1.5 version in August?

I would wait for the v1.5 personally. Better support for graphics cards, more slot configurations, and the extra few millimeters added for fans and rad should mean there's no chance for fans on the bottom of the rad to rub up against the MB. Plus, it'll be the latest one to get add-ons when/if they become available. Add-ons for v1.1 are probably never going to happen

@wahaha would you consider doing different color mesh panels again? for V 1.5

Yes.

However, new colors undecided, we have to make some and see. ETA unknown, just not top priority atm.

Anyone yet looked into whether the new EK-Nucleus AIO’s would fit?

The pump block is 61mm in height, so it won't fit in 3 slot mode, but in any other mode it should work.

@Wahaha360 how can we sign up for waitlist or notification for version 1.5?

You most likely can't. Best way is to stalk this thread or the subreddit and look for an announcement for when the orders will go live.

@Wahaha360 quick question regarding currently-planned design for v1.5 dual TX240 layout: will the EK Special Edition 3080 Founders Edition waterblock fit? I've read some chatter that it's noticeably thicker than other 3080 FE waterblock options. Too thick for v1.5 dual TX240 layout, though?

I own that waterblock. It's 1.1 slot I guess you could say. I mean, its seriously a very very miniscule amount fatter than 1 slot. I doubt it will be a problem.

Wahoo, thanks for the firsthand experience

wait for us to finalize, should be self explanatory with photos.

This picture is different from the specification.
This picture seems to be able to move at 0.5 slot intervals.
What's this?

 

[ripton]

I cannot wait for the FormD T1 v1.5 to be released …

 

[paulesko]

Hahahha nope, you literally cannot wait hahahhahaha

 

[Wahaha360]

Hahahha nope, you literally cannot wait hahahhahaha

Waitlist creates expectations, expectations creates internet outrage when things don't go according to plan.

Either way, don't start the riot.

Product has to be good enough to be a new release, or else not worth the wait.

Will the v1.5 unibody have a spine? or is the internal design same as current version?

Hi Wahaha, is there info on what the collapsible headphone stand would look like?

 

[Wahaha360]

Will the v1.5 unibody have a spine? or is the internal design same as current version?

yes, it will have a spine, the only difference is the front panel.

 

[Jp_sam]

Yes, waiting for some parts before we release.

Size difference between V1.1 and V1.5, visually no difference to the eye, just 3mm taller and 2mm wider, and 5mm deeper, you can’t tell the difference.

Would it be possible to add any of these dimensions to an existing v1.1 by buying some kind of add-on? If anything, just the length? The biggest limitation I've found is not being able to fit 320mm long GPU's, but maybe with that extra 5mm in the v1.5 it would work. It feels silly selling an already built, perfectly useful v1.1 to buy a v1.5 just for 5mm of space.
