Production SENTRY 2.0: Evolution of console-sized gaming PC case
- Thread starter ZombiPL
- Start date
Not really about dropping it, but rather doing everything NOT like in the manual when there are step-by step instructions. Linus trolling product creators at it's finest...
It's the same black as in original Sentry, so nothing changed here
We've got no idea so far, the moment we've sent out those was so intensive in tech because of smartphone and 1660TI launches that everyone was occupied and didn't have much time planning what to do and talking to us. We'll have to see and hope there's going to be some neat AIO builds there.
I'd have to dig this measured weight, and the precise post scale used for weighting is at the office, but we've dropped 0.3kg from first Sentry. It was something like going from 2.9 kg to 2.6 kg iirc. Still a steel construction, but still a really rigid and tough thing.
Glad to hear at least someone likes it
We're preparing for the pre-orders in form of crowdfunding campaign on indiegogo right now to be launched around the end of March, maybe really early April. Obviously at that point it's there's still quite a lot of time before we'll ship those.
We're not going into retail until we saturate most of the demand for the case with campaign orders, because as we've tested last year making small orders is really hard for us, annoys the people who ware slightly late and annoys our subcontractors that we are making such small orders instead of doing second big burst or continuous production.

Soo there is a countdown in the website zaber.com.pl/sentry
I think Nomo meant that there's info about review coming from Paul.
Ah, that makes more sense.
If you want someone to do an AIO review build, I would be more than happy to. I think Paul will be doing one soonish hopefully.
Yeah, seems like he is going to according to his hardware list.
I'm also interested in Wendell's review, because he's quite a curious guy when it comes to complex topics, so I assume he's going to dig here and there to show you a lot of interesting stuff about the case.

Ok, so the channel is Level1Techs, but youtube is going bonkers about it showing it like this:

Because we want our case to be a lasting product and when even the best ribbon construction we could get is not that hard to damage if you are not careful when detaching it from the motherboard (like pulling it from the slot by the ribbon), it was something we wanted to take care of.
It wasn't so big of a problem in Sentry 1.0/1.1, but when we added the AIO to the mix, the amount of space taken by the wires around the riser increased and it become risky to still run a flexible ribbon riser that could be damaged while routing the hoses.
Finally Black Ridge forced us to make this decision because it's a cooler that literally destroys our riser while mounted on some boards because it's not leaving any place for the ribbon to bend with leeway as it's intruding into the pci-e slot area.

I see, thanks for answering. I really thought the flexible PCI riser would actually avoid those types of problens.
Thanks for the hard work, guys, i can't wait to get a Sentry!

Autch...! xP
The worse isn't the price itself, but the fact i will probably pay taxes and shippment as expensive or even more than the Sentry itself...
