Yes please, I think it would be better for me to get the prototype then. My name for the order should be Samuel Bourg, shipping to the U.S. please let me know if you need any more information, and thank you very much. Words cannot describe how excited I am to build in this! I'll definitely send build pics when it is finished for the gallery on your website.

Ok no problem, I'm on it :)

Yes they do work, just tell me your order number and I will add them!
I've been tracking this on Reddit from the beginning and am really excited to build in it. Thank you for your hard work! I would also like to add the horizontal pads to my order, #11595. Would that be possible? Thanks again!

Here it is, make sure to select the proper riser cable:



And if you want a discount I also have few extra prototypes for anyone who is interested, they are basically the same as production cases and come with gen4 risers:



I want to thank you all for your patience, I know it took a long time. This first batch is small but there will be more next year along with white units :)
Congratulations on the launch!

Got a question, was looking through the manual and was wondering how you mount the HDPLEX 500W? Screws or tape?

Just put my order in. Can't wait for it to arrive! Can't wait to attempt to plan some sort of watercooling too 😄

EDIT: Entirely forgot to ask and frankly it's likely been asked prior, but, I'm assuming it's not possible to request to not get a riser? I already have two PCIe 4.0 risers, I don't think I need any more!

are the gen4 riser cables OOS already? :(

Does seem that way, surprised how quickly they went, was only 2 left when I ordered
if i recall correctly there isn't really a performance difference between gen 3 and 4 just have to make sure to change the pice setting in bios to gen 3 when using gen 4 components,
I ordered anyway, figured if theres any issues I'll just get a gen 4 riser later

There is no official mounting method, just potential space for it, that is why it is not officially supported. I would try with a tape or a 3d printed bracket, maybe I try to design one and share it.

Ah man I forgot to order the pads for horizontal too. Can you add them for me too?
Order: 11592

I will, no problem, thank you!

Thanks! Just a question, do you have a 165-170mm long riser with a very short female PCB? This case will only work with such risers, that is why I only offered options with risers included.

Yes, I didn't have much for this batch, sorry! I will order more gen4 risers for the next batch.

I was late by a couple of minutes and it is now out-of-stock 😭

Anyway, I'll just be waiting for the next batch.

Just wanted to verify, Gen4 risers shouldn't have any problems even if I'm just using a Gen3 card ATM, correct? It'll be my first time to use PCIe risers so just wanted to confirm my understanding.

Yes of course, all pcie gens are backwards compatible.

Only Like 1-3fps but it will be a challenge when you update the bios or assemble the hardware for the first time. Then the card has to be plugged directly into the mb slot if it’s a gen3 riser that you’re using. With a gen4 riser you can leave it all assembled. That’s the only thing that speaks for a gen4 riser

Are the screws and standoffs included?

I forgot the stand pads to. Can you add them in my order to. (#11589) ?

Ah, I see. I was thinking I could get away with using one of the louqe risers I have but if that's not the case, then I'll deal with being at gen 3 😅
