Production Observer Slim

[kviker]

Beautiful pictures but where in the world is our in depth showcase??? This should have had loads of pictures at all angles so we could gawk at every one. And did you do the paint job or did the customer do that himself?

I was not at the exhibition, these are the only photos I found. The painting was done by the guys from EvoPC (Moscow pc shop), as I already wrote.

Since it is marked as "production", are you able to sell the case now?

I didn't read this thread lately, but I understand you solved the problems and errors from August's prototype. That's great What changes did you make since that time? I'm asking, because in your last "customer's" photos there is still that old prototype and you wrote that you are already at the stage of paint job. Could you show us some images from the most current version?

It seems that I confused everyone.
At the "IgroMir" expo, the prototype version was shown. (repainted by EvoPC (they just buy one))

Photos from the client latest version, about all the changes I wrote here:

So new version - new problems, I'm still thinking about the hdd\ssd position

At the moment I'm looking for a way to pay. It was not as easy as I thought.

Oh... thanks for explanation. Did you at least leave yourself another prototype for making some benchmarks?

I still prefer the old one

some photos without side panel

 

[kviker]

i have some idea about HDD\SSD, but its only for use with FE or short video card:

Spoiler

I think is good with black color case.

What's the max length GPU that could fit in this case? I'm certain the width and height are covered, just curious about the length. Also, any indication when this might be available?

 

[kviker]

Hi guys! Project still alive but i have much problems with manufacturing.
But i have some news.

Thats a new bracket for SSD\HDD drives. You can also install two fans. One for cooling the GPU area, one for example instead of a small standard CPU fan.
I also added a vent opposite the rear side of the power supply, you can install two sides, and move button for support SFX-L PSU.

Spoiler: More renders

 

[kviker]

And some real photo (but bad quality), i will take better photo later.

Looking nice and sleek!

Are three screws enough stability for the HDD/SSD? Considering it's going to be put upright as well.

Great! wait for the day available for sale.

@vaiz
Nicely done. I do admit that this case looks great. How would you rate the quality of the build?

I had some problems with motherboard installation, not much space for screwdriver.
Default SilverStone cables not flexible, video card install had me worried (cable is sandwiched between case & gpu). CPU cable too short. I think to replace them.
Also I replaced some screws. Not so pretty, but more convenient for me.

Spoiler: More

And above you can see blue.

In production now there are two unoccupied cases for a standard size graphics card. They will be ready within 1 month, so if anyone wants to let me know.
