Any opportunity to purchase a prototype?

Might get a quicker response on gury's discord if you're not already part of that channel. He has posted numerous pics in the chat, looking good though I'm not sure if it's the exact same one as he was talking about in this thread, but he looks to be offering a basic case included with each PSU order from what I could gather

What’s his server name on there?

Getting quotes now for prototype.

Any apparent ideas for the release date? Plus is there any way you can put a rad in it after having a full length gpu(about 270mm)?

I would imagine, if it fits a 3 slot GPU and you are using a single slot gpu water block, you MIGHT be able to squeze a rad over/under the GPU with slim fans and slim rad, but I highly doubt it would be "supported"

Almost forgot about this. So this is put on back burner for the sidearm?

@guryhwa made some significant changes to the layout, I need to update the design.

I told myself this year, before computex.

Where can you get the power brick???

Where can you get the power brick???

Do you mean where the power brick is? If that's your question, I believe from some of the original post I read that it had two options, if you opted to do a mini-itx motherboard, you could fit an SFX psu, but if you wanted ATX, wahaha was looking into a thin plated power supply that mounted on the skeleton of the case and doubled as hard drive holders. I need to double check to make sure I didn't misunderstand the original post but it was really a beautiful design.

Pretty sure the large PCB the drives are mounted to is just a power/data distribution board, and doesn't do any power conversion itself. You'll still need an AC-DC brick for that.

Looks like it adds a bunch of caps, which might help with stability if you're pushing clocks/voltages (probably for pushing lower voltages, this is sff after all), but still absolutely needs a ac-dc brick.

Alright awesome, thank you for the responses and adding some clarity to the topic.

Update 2019-04-14: I got bit by the CNC bug, making this case via Extrusion and CNC.

Extrusion and CNC will give the most versatility for 2-3 sizes for this project. Thanks to an early backer, we should have enough MOQ to hit the same target price.

The following is Prototype 1 = design is not finalized, just testing thermals. I'm waiting for the Sidearmd T1 to finalized before starting this.

Will this be a one off run or it will be on a cycle run?

I am like both this and T1 but can only afford one.

Until I finalize the design, it's hard to nail down all the costs and process, so it's just too early to say.

What is the maximum supported 140mm radiator+fan supported if an ITX length GPU is used?
I like console style cases but there seems to be limited options for the smaller ones to allow for decent CPU cooling...
