Geeek A50 case
- Thread starter sfxbajan
- Start date
I talked to the customer service the other day, and as far as I understood there won't be any A50X, but they will release A60 in a few weeks.
I was told that they will postpone the release of the A50X upgrade kit. They will release the A60 first and once the A60 is available they will offer two options for people that already purchased the A50 case, a discounted price on a A60, or a discounted price on an A50X upgrade kit.
I sent a message on Facebook and the reply was they start the pre-order of A60 this week.
We will find out when the case arrive because Geeek change the supplier from Li-Heat to ADT.
I have no trouble with Li-Heat in the plast, replacing the original riser from a Thermaltake G3.
Why wait? Just get the black one and grap some matte white spray paint and paint the panels before assembling it
Hello.
Ist this case only available from Geeek, or perhaps cheaper by dealers.
In the EU?
And what does a PCIe 16x riser cable cost if you do not buy it from Geeek?
Are there any other (cheaper) alternatives?
It may also be made of plastic. It can indeed be shielded from the inside with foil or net.
P.S. (extra topic):
We need 3D print files for such a case (DanCase A4, Geeek A50, perhaps Kolink Rocket).
Plastic is lightweight and sturdy, depending on the surface (rough textured surface...).
I could print it for free in the public library in Cologne.
When I get a new library card.
I think a plastic case (with metal foil, or at home DIY) without riser cable could be offered for ~<$25 with shipping from China.
That's (~€22) the limit for tax-free entry into the EU.
Riser cable could be offered separately. Also under ~$25.
In addition, a blueprint with parts list to produce from thin wood.
I still have old cabinet back wall.
Or are these cases so complicated?
We definitely need good 3D printing templates (there are few cases on Thingiverse, but very exotic / extravagant, no good practical SFF case), but I believe that even a DIY made of wood would be possible.
I would like to have something small, around the 10l (2,6gal), but mobile.
Preferably with handle, and sturdy/ruggedized surface. I think a TU100 is still expensive.

Why not make your own case? I've done it myself and it isn't too hard. Pretty fulfilling to make your own case from your own 3D printer. Make it out of ABS or something, I know someone who did it for his Geeetech A20, wish I had pictures of it to show. I was looking to buy one from Dibbsto soon 
Here's a link to the one I was going to get: https://www.dibbsto.co.uk/3d-printer/geeetech-a20-3d-printer/
