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

[AlexTzone]

Hope the couriers don't get confused by the large printed address of Thorzone when it comes to shipping :x we once had a package end up in a crazy location for a similar reason

I don’t think that will be a problem, since the freight courier has their own shipping label that they will stick on there (with a barcode). Our address is part of the legal requirements

Would you guys still take special request for faster shipping by air if you guys do make the decision on shipping by sea? (I think this was mentioned a while back, not sure if it was still on the table)

YES THIS ^^ 100% I really want to pay extra for DHL Express shipping. They're the gold standard in international shipping and the only one I'd trust with handling my Mjolnir! I will pay the extra cost for it.

It would be ridiculous to have to pay extra for air shipping at this point. Remember when the cases were definitely going to be done before CNY, and then 95% sure going to be completely finished and shipped in March? At the end of the day the case will ship a full year late, and whatever the circumstances may be, other case makers have been able to complete multiple full production run in this time period. Anything other than air shipping is unacceptable

@AlexTzone
Let me try again, maybe I get an answer this time: In case you upgrade every backer to air shipping (for free), will those people who actually paid for air freight get a refund?

Hi alex.
I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.
Does this case include the 4th generation riser card?

No, it’s coming with a 3rd gen riser.

I just bought a set of custom unsleeved cables from pslate for the Formd T1. It has a near identical layout to Mjolnir so I'm hoping to use them when my Mjolnir comes. I'll let everyone know if they work once my Mjolnir comes in! @AlexTzone you should send pslate a case so they can make custom cables that are 100% guaranteed to work!!

Given that eps placements and gpu power connectors are not standardized 100% guarantee is not possible, unless you make every cable longer than it needs to be, which defeats the purpose of custom cables. The only 100% guarantee is to do it yourself for your own set of components

Pslate asks you which motherboard, power supply, gpu and case you are using exactly for that reason. Im just taking a gamble these will work in mjolnir too. I didn't wanna do em myself cause I was afraid of screwing something up with the sense wires and then poof!

Just seen the Louqe Raw S1 case. Not a fan myself but interesting to see a "rival" brand using a unibody + core design.

Its interesting to note that the vertical potential of the mjolnir has been floated at least twice on this thread

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

Also very interested if any changes where made to accommodate a 120 instead of the now completely dead 92. Question: is the glass design final? If so it have to be acrylic right

That might save me some painting/cerakoting. :)

Gorgeous ! And there is at least a Pcie 4.0 riser !

How can they make it in Sweden and offer it at 329$?? (if that's actually true...)
Alex once said production in Europe would be at least 5x as expensive as in China

The videos of the cases being CNC-machined in Sweden is also interesting. The idea of CNC'ing the Mjolnir was suggested a while ago, so it is interesting to see Louqe using CNC and producing the cases locally in Sweden. They are claiming 200 cases/wk.

That's amazing! Functionality and design aside, the Raw S1 seems to be much better value compared to the Mjolnir given that it is manufactured in Sweden and offered at the same price.

We’ve got some ideas for that already!

MJOLNIR is extruded and CNCd, same as RAW!

That's amazing! Functionality and design aside, the Raw S1 seems to be much better value compared to the Mjolnir given that it is manufactured in Sweden and offered at the same price.

Hold your horses, the reason we didn’t do it in Sweden was because it would cost 5x for the same tolerances of the unibody shell.

We could make a Swedish produced MJOLNIR where the height / width of the case differ by 1.5mm (horrible tolerances), rather than 0.125-0.25.
