Check your email.
There is still hope if you haven't received email yet.
Currently there is still 1 pink left. And I may offer slot to people further down the line if I don't get a reply by 1 Nov.
pm me if you are interested in the pink
Oh well, I guess I wait for the retail run.
Awesome job getting everything packaged up and ready to ship!
Are you sure about the Trident Z? Because the height is 44mm, and the Noctua on the website says that the clearance is 43mm. I am interested as well in this!
Yep! The 43mm they quote is actually so there is sufficient room to between the RAM and cooler to detach and reattach the frame wire that fastens the lower 92mm fan to the cooler. In reality, it is more like 46-47mm. Further, you can actually just leave the fan attached in the first place and never even have to touch the 92mm fan’s metal wire mounting frame at all. Silly me, however, made the mistake of leaving the stock fan on and not putting on the new fan that I had purchased until after mounting the cooler. Silly how things work. Fortunately, it was doable... but let me tell you, twisting, reorienting and sliding the wire frame within that 2-3mm crevice between the cooler fins and the top of the RAM heatsink is not unlike some of those boondoggle puzzles that unlock only with just the right slight of hand. However, to repeat, putting the right fan on first before mounting, I personally guarantee that the NH-L12 and Trident Z DDR4 memory are completely physically compatible with one another.

Sorry for not checking back at "hard" regularly, it's relatively quiet there. You should be able to get more regularly updates here
.
For those who replied via email, when should they expect an email confirmation back that their information was successfully received?
I will send out invoices after Nov 2. I am giving those who have signed up some time (until end of Oct) to confirm my email and agree to pay.
BTW some updates: Nouvolo Youtube Channel
Specially got this up and running before I ship out to you testers.
I will try not to use printed materials. Everything will be delivered online. Save the environment!

really? need video for screwing in the glass panels?
All panels are held by magnetic strips. It won't be as secure comparing with clips or screws. But the design is targeted as a desktop so it should be good enough. Yes, you are not supposed to fling it around.
Obviously the middle of the top panel is hollow, there is a part of the center spine that sticks higher up to stop the top panel from collapsing down when pressure is applied from the top. The top panel is important for ventilation so nothing should be placed on top of it, so it should be fine.
I have traded a bit of strength for the ease of building the PC (just a flick to detach the panels) and aesthetics (no screw holes seen from outside). I may do clips for later versions but then the clips can be in the way of the graphics card. A bit of a compromise, but I feel it is acceptable, and at the end of the day it's about to get the damn thing shipped
.In case people want to mod, there are already screw holes (for glass panels). One can easily drill holes on the side panels to make them screw in.

Hey man, awesome job. Loving this case. Forgive me if this has already been answered, but when are you expecting to put this out for retail purchase? And what CPU cooler did you use in that youtube video, is that the L12s from Noctua?
- yes, it is a NH-L12S
- it is my plan to do a launch in KS, Dec 2018 if possible, but that all depends if marketing can help the product to take off, this batch will be offered at KS launch price (20-30% off from full retail) and be delivered in Jan (as soon as KS campaign successfully ends)
- I am setting up the website, if everything goes silky smooth it will start selling online Jan 2019 (that will be in full retail price), which means it will be delivered probably in Feb
So for those who want to grab one, possibly at a lower price, it really helps if you help spread the word around. Once the website goes up, it will be opened for sign ups. I am still thinking what to offer for early bird sign ups.
Thanks a lot! This save me to buy another RAM! Now it's only a matter of waiting!
One last thing. Do note that I said the NH-L12. The NH-L12S will not work with the Trident Z. Fortunately, Noctua brought back the L12 because of a special request from a certain other small form factor case maker. So as long as you purchase an L12, you should be fine. You might also notice on Noctua's site that it states that only the NH-L12S comes with AM4 bracket but this has also changed with the re-release. Contrary to what Noctua's site says, like the L12S, this re-released L12 now also comes with the AM4 bracket (if you need it) in the box. I confirm this since I purchased the NH-L12 as of about a week ago. Silly me had purchased an AM4 bracket but I ended up having to return it due to its sudden inclusion in the re-release.Thanks a lot! This save me to buy another RAM! Now it's only a matter of waiting!
