Completed MJOLNIR: The minimalistic – but not boring – 9.7L Case

[zanduh]

Those are some magnificent shots. Now that the keystone piece is done how long will it take to see all the parts come in?

Would a hdplex400 fit where the dual 2.5 tray (remove it) is at the front? So if we use a m2 nvme instead of ssd in tray and an hdplex400 instead of sfx psu we can possibly fit an aio liquid cooler in sfx psu space.

Can someone provide accurate dimensions for the hdplex 400? As soon as I have them I'll check whether or not this would work

Thanks a lot!!

In short

About 90% of all parts should be here within 3 weeks.​

More descriptive answer

We are currently working on the color "DARK" and determining the appropriate anodizing finish, basically we have reordered that exact same part again but in a different tone. Once this is done and we & you are satisfied with the color we'll be good to go on the rest of the parts. This part should be here within a week.
​

When will 100% of the parts be here

Well the part that takes real time and effort to create in the unibody enclosure, because it's produced with casting. This is not as easy to prototype quickly and requires a bit of tinkering in order to avoid deformations due to metal shrinkage, flow, etc. We can 3D print it, but that's cheating. It should be made of metal like intended, this will also eliminate the need for us to learn these things post-Kickstarter and thus decrease the risk of delays ​

Best,
Alex

Looks great, cant wait to see more!

Hey guys, time for an important one!

This is a big day - below piece of machined & bead-blasted aluminium is the first part to ever be created for MJOLNIR I! I shiver at the thought of how many calculations went into making this one part, seeing as almost every other component of MJOLNIR I is dependent on it. It's not as sexy as the unibody enclosure will be...but it sure is the most complex. Anyways, I personally think it turned out quite beautiful, what do you think?

* NOTE: I don't have the best camera so the images have a bit of noise *

I marked the part in blue so that it's easier to understand how it's connected.

Now we just need to finish the rest! We'll update you as soon as anything new turns up

Best,
Alex

Is that CNC milled? hoo boy thats pricy

Thanks I'll have a look

More is expected to arrive on friday, this time it's the same piece but in the anodized dark color Hopefully it matches our expectations for MJOLNIR I color "DARK".

Economies of scale is a friend

Pretty excited about this case. Can’t wait to back the KS. Keep up the good work.

Really happy to hear it, we'll make sure you get an epic case

Hey guys, MORE PROTOTYPE!

Another big day - this piece is identical to the previous one but in anodized dark gray. IMHO I couldn't be happier with how it turned out, it's exactly what we had in mind for MJOLNIR I in DARK color. What do you think?

* NOTE: I don't have the best camera so the images have a bit of noise (iPhone 6S+) *

Here's a pic of the two color (STEEL and DARK) next to each other.

I marked the part in blue so that it's easier to understand how it's connected.

The rest of the internal frame will be shipped very soon! We'll update you as soon as anything new turns up (except for screws and washers, not so exciting ).

Best,
Alex

I demand beautiful pictures of screws and washers!

 

[dlal1520]

I love how the dark color turned out. Really excited how the entire project will come together!

Check them out below, these are the type of screws and washers you will find in MJOLNIR I. Got to give it to the supplier, these are some very nice high quality screws. Aligned them carefully with a pair of tweezers

I love how the dark color turned out. Really excited how the entire project will come together!

Awesome, happy that you like it!! The rest of the internal frame will be shipped 22nd of August. The enclosure has a lead time of 12 days + 1 week shipping, going to give it a green light as soon as everything is clear to the supplier

 

[zanduh]

This is above and beyond haha

Can't wait to see the whole case assembled

 

[atomicus]

Not sure if this has been discussed, but the CPU block here is higher than the res/rad. This really isn't ideal.

 

[vetusPC]

Dark looks great, really looking forward to this case.

 

[Jaxel]

Beautiful case! Needs front panel connectors.

 

[Sashby]

Beautiful case! Needs front panel connectors.

That would break the minimalist clean design

Apologies if this has been asked before, but with the new 2080/ti rtx line dropped, what are the max dimensions for gpus that the case will be able to hold?

The first post of the thread states:

GPUs max-size

• (L-H-W): 300 mm (from PCIe bracket) x 141 mm (from bottom of PCIe bracket) x 40 mm (without backplate)

Nvidia spec sheet for 2080ti is 266.74mm. I think it’ll fit bob.

We’ll see on the AIB partner cards. Height might be worriesome but who knows.
