Will there be a variant that supports 15mm SATA drives?
Yes, 15mm sata storage module is now available.

Would it be possible to use an anti vandal power switch with the case?

An alternate edition supporting 16mm anti-vandal switch is coming eventually. Possibly next month. It is already designed, but the delay is getting the switches produced. The 16mm switch version may end up being a limited edition.

On another note, a VESA mounting kit is now available here, so you can put Lander anywhere.





It's fully compatible with all models + with or without out the storage module.

The base plate is patterned for 75x75mm and 100x100mm VESA.

update!

1) There was a backlog of orders but it should be cleared up by next week. New order ship times will normalize to 1 week.

2) Missing product images almost fixed entirely. A lot of the prior images of the black case was showing a more "jet black" case that wasn't truly representative of the beautiful matte texture.

Some of the new images are below so you can really appreciate the matte.





3) Lander 55 now has even more cooling. It's possible to add dual 40mm exhaust fans to the rear vents and adjust them up/down depending on the I/O height below, so they sit as low as possible. This is intended to help out when using the AIO config. Additionally there is a thin silhouette area on the right side to mod in the rear audio connector if desired. (Thanks to Hydraxx747 for the suggestion).



4) Rear m.2 panels now support this Oculink card, which is awaiting testing with OneDock. I will test this out with OneDock in the coming weeks. if a different m.2 adapter is needed, then a revised rear panel will be available. If you intend to use Lander with OneDock, I would recommend waiting a bit more for confirmation of the right m.2 card.

5) Lander SE (special edition) with 16mm Vandal switch coming next week. Compatible with original DeskNano switch.

Hello everyone, although a GPU module was originally under consideration, the plans were put on hold to see whether the outcome of OCuLink solutions would be promising. I previously tested OCuLink performance on the the x300 with a DIY solution (OGRE) and was waiting to confirm compatibility with OneDock.

OneDock is now confirmed to work with the Deskmini x300, enabling it to significantly boost it's graphics capability in a convenient way. It is able to achieve the full Gen 3.0 x 4 link (8.0 GT/s) in a stable way without any WHEA errors. Timespy score and gaming results appear to be similar to using a direct m.2 to x16 riser connection (12,100 Timespy score with RTX 3060ti, Cyberpunk Ultra 1440p ~60fps, and Cyberpunk Ultra 1080p ~80fps).

Unfortunately, OneDock/OCuLink does not appear to be compatible with the DeskMini b660 at this time due to unknown reasons.

As mentioned in the April update, Lander had pre-emptively implemented a removable side panel designed for this m.2 riser and this generic SFF-8611 OCuLink cable, which are the accessories needed to use Lander with OneDock.

Check out my first-look at the Lander 37 and how the DeskMini X300 fits into the DeskNano:



I guess with the latest Bios with AGESA 1.0.8.0 we are not far away from the RYZEN 7000G Phoenix APU launch and Asrocks AM5 DeskMini X600 which should fit inside that case aswell! <3

You seem to be right, according to a few news sites they say that 7000g is eminent from this agesa update.

A little while back there was also someone that reported that ASRock support told them the x600 would be delayed until October [waiting for after AMD's new APU announcement]. That seems to line up also, so it would be a nice surprise if these come before the end of the year.

One thing I haven't heard much about is whether am5 supports the "knoll activator" function like am4.

If there is just the knoll activator with no chipset, the deskmini x600 will only have the support for what is on the left side of the chip.



So we should expect 4x 10gbps usb 3.2 gen2 at the minimum, which is a nice improvement in usb over the x300

And hopefully ASRock will integrate a usb hub device on the board, so the rear has 4x USB-A (2 full speed) and the front has the A + C (both full speed)

Greetings Msystems, I see that your concept "Lander 37/55" is no longer available for production/purchase from "J-HACK", while the ASRock DeskMini X600 (and respective "Jupiter" edition) which will use the same format "miniSTX" motherboard shouldn't take too long to arrive on the market (currently April from what I've read), so I wanted to know: no production of the same product at J-Hack (or another partner) or A “revised” version for the occasion is not planned?

Since we don't have pictures of the board yet, and every thing published by ASRock so far seems to just be "boilerplate", its hard for me to say for sure if Lander is 100% compatible, but it was designed to be as compatible as possible. If the x600 will use the exact same chassis design (and square switch) as prior Deskmini models then it is compatible (and, at CES they showed what appeared to be the same chassis). The only unknown then, is the positioning of the rear m.2 slot, as Lander has specific rear cutouts to allow removable access to the m.2.

If it is compatible with the x600, I will find a way to make it available to order again, and it is likely it will also be released in digital format for makers.

With the release of the X600, Lander 37 is now available digitally for interested makers. The core model is up on Etsy for $8 and all accessories are free on Printables. Lander 30 and 55 will also be added soon. Writing the documentation and print guide will take some time, so feel free to ask any questions about printing it in here.

Please note that Lander has not been tested with the X600 yet, but based on the board shots it appears compatible.

Hi, no more arrangements/contracts with J-HACK (or another shop/maker) to have them manufactured? For those who don't have a 3D printer and who have no particular interest in having one and investing in it, and especially who don't know anything about it...😅😅😅

Which means that it remains unchanged from the X300 - so if I have one of those, I can also use it?

Also, does the SSD Tray allow for a fan on that side to cool the drives as well? That was actually the initial reason why I got interested in the DeskNano.

Yes, it should work with any deskmini. And no, the ssd tray doesn't have a hole pattern for a fan, but it would be easy to just drill the mounting holes (or accomplish this is the slicer) if you really want that.

I use SSDs, and when they are subjected to prolonged read or especially write operations, they get relatively hot. So that would be a plus.

Another question: For those who do not use a wifi card, is there some kind of clip-on (mesh?) cover to close the cutout on top?
