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

[AlexTzone]

If it works with a 92mm fan, could you use a 92mm aio with it?

Absolutely, something like the Asetek 545LC

AIO

Fan

Oh, joy! I have a 545LC waiting for this!

That's awesome!! Hope the supply of 92mm AIOs expands in the future

Are the 545LC's "tubes" that flexible?

Really nice case, btw.

They are flexible enough for this!

Any ETA on the thermal tests?

I have a question about the 2.5" drives. I use a 7mm ssd and a 15mm hdd. WouldI be able to mount both in the case somehow? Thanks.

Is it possible to get a side panel with a more traditional ventilation pattern? Even if it costs extra. Looks like a tribal tattoo to me. Beautiful case otherwise. Great work.

 

[gwertheim]

Is there a chance to get a case with two metal side panels with ventilation holes?

i second that as thermals will make or brake this case.

btw i suppose that an sfx-L will make impossible to use an aio right?

@AlexTzone It would be cool if the bottom was a removable panel / glass just like the top. It would make the case really flexible. If one were to want to say, add a custom bottom filter or whatever.

Might actually make the glass / aluminum panels cheaper to make (more order quantity). On that same note, I would love to keep the removable panels aspect to it. I think it's great that users can add or remove panels when needed, especially if different panels are released in the future (like those hole grid ones people are asking about)

Also, how close is that dark grey to apple's space grey? It is a nice grey afterall and I would loooooove to be able to match

@AlexTzone
have you considered changing the venting pattern in something less gamery?

maybe something like a maze pattern

 

[htko89]

Hows progress like on the prototype?

 

[LegendsofMace]

Any other options for a 92mm AIO to fit in this case? The Asetek 545LC just got discontinued.

Hey guys! So sorry for the late reply, we've been working our A*SS off with the trailer (and awaiting prototype parts), finally done!! Anyhow, let me get to your questions straight away

There was a hold up with some prototype parts because one of the CNC producers managed to injure his eye, causing a delay. Everything is back on track now and I'll go out and grab all hardware & run tests as soon as these parts get here. Say 1 - 2 weeks

Regarding SFX-L & AIO, yes you're correct! The AIOs can only be used with SFX PSUs.

I have a question about the 2.5" drives. I use a 7mm ssd and a 15mm hdd. WouldI be able to mount both in the case somehow? Thanks.

Hmmm, possibly if you don't use a case fan below the PSU. Otherwise it's either 2 x 7mm or 1 x 15 mm

Is it possible to get a side panel with a more traditional ventilation pattern? Even if it costs extra. Looks like a tribal tattoo to me. Beautiful case otherwise. Great work.

We're still working on the side panels guys. Hopefully we'll have something that you'll like more very soon

Also, how close is that dark grey to apple's space grey? It is a nice grey afterall and I would loooooove to be able to match

HA Johan has a Macbook Pro, we'll make sure to make a comparison pic and upload it here It's pretty similar to space gray as I can recall from memory.

@AlexTzone

Interesting idea, but the thing that concerns me regarding a maze is that it's pretty non-simplistic If you have something in mind that is simplistic yet good from a air flow point of view we'll gladly make adjustments.

Hows progress like on the prototype?

There was a slight hold up, one of the guys helping us produce the prototype parts injured his eye. Everything is back on track now and the prototype should be completed within 2 weeks!!

Oh no, where did you see this info?

 

[AlexTzone]

Heey guys, time for a badass update!

Finally completed the trailer for MJOLNIR I, check it out:


Good to have a trailer when it's time to launch the campaign don't you think?

Now, it's time to finish the prototype, run the thermal tests and launch the campaign!! Can't believe we're so close now!!

Best,
Alex

This looks great! But one question: do you plan to mass manufacture it on China? Cuz it seems like PC Cases manufactured there and shipped to U.S will have to pay 25% taxes, starting from next year (check link). If yes, will I have to pay the extra tax, or you guys will cover it?

Also, I'd really appreciate some Youtubers reviews before the KS. It would raise my confidence on the case having external medias showing it/running thermal tests. Have you tried contacting some of them, like Linus and HardwareCanucks?

Edit: btw, here is the discussion about Asetek 545LC discontinuation. It's a shame, as I'd really like to use an AIO on this case. Any other option you would recommend?

 

[FoskcoRS5]

Oh no, where did you see this info?

Someone in another thread went to Aseteks website and the 545lc website redirect returns a 404.

They contacted support and support told them it’s been discontinued.
