Hardly cheeping out with those specs. The R5 2600 is a great chip for most applications, and about the best price to performance you can get right now. I'd be curious how well the AXP-100 performs for you, I was considering one for the build I've been planning too.

Would we be able to get a preview of your website?

An update:
[website]
I am working on the website, will definitely let you guys know first once I put it up. I have just come back from China this week, will spend more time on the website in the weekend. I have arranged for a 3D render and animation of the case, so any buyers will be able to better visualize what they are getting.

Photos and images that I have posted recently, some of them will eventually be used in the website. I am just posting them early as I am working along.

Will try to make a video of installation instruction next week. Should give you better idea how to install.

[community tester program]
I will stop the sign up on 21 Oct (Sunday), a week earlier than initially set out, as sign ups have been incredible and there is an over-subscription of 300%!!! At this point there isn't just enough to go around for all, so I am sorry I can't ship to everyone of you.

For those who will get one, the procedure will be as follows:
1) Before end of Oct - I will contact you by email and/or pm here, with information of payment (paypal only)
2) Before mid Nov - The cases will ALL be shipped out by air, providing payment is received. Slot will be given to next down the line if payment is not received 1 week before shipment date (to be confirmed exact)
note:
- shipment will be by air and should arrive in a matter of days
- as promised the price (USD100) will include shipping by air, which I later found out is USD40+ !!! DAMN, 40% of the selling price. So I would deeply appreciate if you could help make a big noise on this with your reviews and shares. Lets just relish this milestone.
- BUT the shipment will NOT include local tariff and VAT, so please note you may need to pay these before you can grab hold of the product from your local delivery agent.



Sorry haven't had time to chat and troll here recently :), been busy working on getting this thing to your doorstep ;)

I wonder how do you calculate the volume of the case? Based on the specs in the first post:

Base-Unit: 315 x 142 x 195 = 8.7l
Base Unit + Top Head: 315 x 142 x (195 + 57) = 11.2l

So 8l is wrong and 10.5l too. You should correct your thread titel or specs. ;)

The difference comes from the space that the feet take up. The space inside is actually smaller. What's the convention in calculating this? Will people be mistaken that it can fit more inside? 315 X 142 X 20 (H) is about 0.9L. Maybe I will state both

If this is true the height of the base would be 195mm - 20mm feet = 175. This can't be true because this would mean you have a buffer zone of 2.5mm on each side of the motherboard. If i look on the pictures the base without feets has a height of 195mm like you wrote in the specs.

So furthermore in your specs you write:

Height: 195mm without feets. So if i add your feets the height will be 215mm.

So to complete the list:

Base-Unit: 315 x 142 x 195 = 8.7l
Base-Unit+Feet: 315 x 142 x 215 = 9.7l

Base Unit + Top Head: 315 x 142 x (195 + 57) = 11.2l
Base Unit + Top Head + Feet: 315 x 142 x (215 + 57) = 12.2l

I know I'm late but I signed up for a black.

8700k and MSI 1080ti Gaming X (290 x 140 x 51 mm). Not sure if the card will for though.

Downgrading from atx, if I get this case, all I need is the sf600 which I'll buy
