Holy baguette ! I need one in my life 🤤

Oooooh shiny, very nice!

oof, that shipping to New Zealand :(

$79.26 delivered to France is very reasonable (+ 20% VAT).

It's really too good finally a microSTX case made to measure and which supports more than 47mm for the heatsink (what happiness!), from the beginning of next month (around February 6, so I hope that they will not be in out of stock), I would order the LANDER 55 with the "120MM CUTOUT" and the "LANDERFEET" all in matte black, and delivery in France and frankly for $84.26 with shipping costs (about €81 for me in France) it remains more than correct.

Only small downsides:
1/I am currently on an AKASA Cypher ST box and therefore I had the mounting points for the addition of 2 USB 2.0 ports but I saw that it was under study and being prepared on your side .

2/But on the other hand I use the official ASRock kit allowing via a 5-pin female header to have a 3.5mm audio jack to have the stereo audio output for speakers (the support for the 3.5mm jack connector fixing on a slot COM port with a screw fixing system at each end), do you have any solution for this? I put a photo of the adapter in question below maybe it will speak to you more than my description ^^



3/And yes, one last thing, on my AKASA Cypher ST box, I got used to the presence of a small RESET button which was still very practical when overclocking is unstable or the system freezes for X reasons , will there be an option in the future to add this button?

Otherwise thank you very much for the distribution of your concept which is simply excellent!

Thanks for your input, its very helpful

1) New lid models will be coming to support the internal usb 2.0 for Lander 55. I don't think it will work with the 37 because the deskmini usb dongle has a lot of insulation and it will collide with the board. -HOWEVER- I recently discovered a "slim" usb 2.0 to "A" x2 on Ali Express which has no such insulation problem. It uses a ribbon cable.

So I plan to prototype with this alternate usb connector as well and see if it's possible to add usb support to the 37. Then we can stock this slim ribbon version as well.


2) There is 25mm of open vertical space on the rear of the 55 above the I/O shield, to mount or screw in additional components. In this area I can add hole guides (thinner areas) to be able to punch out and mount the 3.5 jack, I just need to get that part myself, or the drawing. But currently, it should be possible to DIY the jack in that area just by carefully drilling through the material. I'm also considering adding hole patterns for mounting 2x 40mm exhaust fans right behind the I/O in this area too.

3) For reset, I have not considered it. But you could use a 12mm momentary switch, and mount it to the back above the I/O in this same unused area.

This is good news. I'm interested in the 37 but I am currently using the USB 2.0 on my DeskMini and would buy this case if I had an option to add one to the 37.

Wow, they are all beautiful! 😍
Looks like the long time postponed buy of a Deskmini is coming over!

This is a great concept. Is there an ETA for the rear m2 module to be added? Is it going to be possible to access the rear m2 slot from outside of the case by removing a detachable cover?

Good question, I realize there was not a picture published of the rear side. So the m.2 slots are already implemented as removable cover on the case, for easier access, or future expansions. There are two different panels to support both AMD and Intel M.2 positioning.

These are intended for riser cable pass through and to install M.2 drives. This graphic shows it:



These panels are initially joined with the print body with four small tabs for extra strength. After cutting the tabs, they can be removed to access the m.2 / Sata. But, they can also be replaced later, as it's a "snap-fit" which fits securely.

Also visible in this picture are the 105mm inner hole patterns for fans/rads and the outer m3 threaded pattern for case feet and frame/modules. As you can see, the entire rear panel is basically a mesh vent pattern for better thermals.

Hi, I just placed my order for my LANDER 55 with the "120MM CUTOUT" and the "LANDERFEET" all in matte black, and I don't see any way anywhere to track the progress of my order and furthermore I note there is indeed an access via "LOGIN" but no page or proposal to register an account, does anyone have an idea on this subject? And otherwise, any idea of the time they take to prepare and ship an order? Thanking you in advance for your help.

Has the white case option been removed?

Temporarily out of stock but it will be returning in the near future, probably in a week or so.

Thanks :) So there is not an order tracking system, but it should ship in about 1 week. You can check back on status in J-HACK discord. https://discord.gg/5jt4wccb

The USB 2.0 option for Lander 55 3D lids will be shown tomorrow and should be enabled in the storefront by next week.

The Lander 37 version will likely be the same exact lids, but just require a different (slimmer) USB 2.0 header cable which I'll be testing shortly.

The USB lid adaptation for Lander 37 is successful.



Compatibility is pretty straightforward: USB lids work exactly the same for both AMD/Intel boards, 37/55 models, and for the different usb cables.

The only difference is that Lander 37 will require this low profile aftermarket cable (15mm length pictured), and for Lander 55 it's not required and the OEM cable is compatible. I would generally recommend sticking with the OEM cable for Lander 55 because it has better compatibility with 120mm coolers like the IS-55.

Picture of the 120 + USB version soon. First orders are starting to ship out this week.
