Production FormD T1 Classic (READ FIRST POST)

[Metroversal]

Update: just found out that we will not get all of the parts at once, so we will take orders as receive parts, just can't win ?‍

There is a big break for Chinese New Year starting January 10 to February 3rd, so no shipping during this period.

I guess more time for OptimumTech review and web dev.

@Wahaha360 @3feetcat Cool that we have a launch date, but would you mind providing us pictures of the final version? A video would be even better! Thank you ?

*Bump* ?

Noticed sidearmd .com is down until 2020.

Is there no way of getting the finalised info on here like in the first page as an update for those looking to order on the 1st? Or is it felt that early adopters will purchase regardless without the need for this due to the now limited quantities and Chinese New Year non shipment period?

There will be any EU distributor?

No the case is sold through sidearmd.com or link from SFFLAB which is the selling platform for this and other cases.

I'm considering this case and I was wondering if you could natively flip the case. For example, could you put the bottom panel on top instead, just like you can with the Ghost S1. This would be cool because this way you could flip the case and have the fans on top exhausting hot air up instead of down towards your desk. @Wahaha360 is this possible?

Yes

Just to clarify, is this just turning the case upside down? Because I don't see any separate bottom compartment to just remove and put on the top, instead.

Yes

Update: why is everything late

The power cable and packaging are both late. I’m debating if I should starting taking orders tomorrow.

The problem is Chinese New Year, everything start shutting down around Jan 10 all the way until Feb. So if we don’t get everything by the 10th, nothing is happening in Jan ?

I suppose this gives more time for Optimumtech review.

Yea take some orders tomorrow. I'm ready

Only take orders if you think the process will go smoothly. Another month is well worth the wait for a polished and seamless transaction.

I would place the order Tomorrow even with the uncertainty of the actual shipping date.
I just want to rest easy knowing they’re not gonna be sold out when I’m not looking.

That's how I feel. Nothing has to be ready to ship. I'd just consider it a pre-order.
We've basically seen enough on this case to make a decision about a purchase.

Same, that stress me a little the idea I couldn't get the case because it's sold out.

And if it's only the packaging who's missing, wrap it in newspaper inside a shoebox that would be perfectly fine for me ?

Working on the website now, it will all be there.

There will be any EU distributor?

No, direct to customer. A EU distributor will sell it for $300+, I suppose if you want to go that route, maybe Q3 2020.

the case is sold through sidearmd.com or link from SFFLAB which is the selling platform for this and other cases.

SFFLAB will likely become a whole system builder, so no more cases / parts on SFFLAB if all goes according to plan.

2nd this idea, let me buy it and ship it in a shoebox, paper box, used amazon box, whatever it takes to get it to the US in one piece or multiple pieces (unassembled) as long as it's in good condition and I'll be happy... Shipping in Feb just for CYN is just too long IMHO.

I’m just hoping there will still be availability when i get paid on the 3rd ?

 

[pwnedundies]

I think the overall consensus is to allow orders tomorrow and ship when ready. It's not like you don't already have a good track record with your other products.

If it's delayed until February than so be it. The review will come out in the meantime and it will give people more time to adjust components while they wait.

请问1月1号开始预购吗？？

Still working on website, targeting Friday, 2020-JAN-03, 12:00 Noon PST

Well it's not exact true, or maybe not always. I was looking for Sliger SM550, and directly from them is 320 (230 + 90 shipping) USD + some fees like VAT. Total cost is around 370-400 USD. From distributor, it's around 270 USD without additional fees and free shipping. Even if we wont count discounts they have right now, it's around 300 USD.

Except Sligger is a company making a big margin on the case, here you buy it directly from the creators who take a low margin on it.
