Do you know how thick your GPU is from the back plate to the front of the waterblock?
25mm for the majority of the card (though inlet/outlet and Power Connectors can add a bit in places, you thinking of the res overlapping the card a bit at the top? I have soooo many low profile pump/res combos from various builds, a EK-Quantum Kinetic FLT 80, FLT 120 and a Phanteks Glacier R160C, all usable for this build.



I'll probably grab a EK Vector 2 Pump/Res/Block combo once that gets released to simplify things, but who knows when that'll get released

Hey Everyone!

Just a quick update here. We have started to receive parts from the factory. Mostly small parts/hardware since they have the shortest leads times. We have seen a couple small delays in production. I don't think this will impact the schedule much, but I will be double checking everything and will have more accurate dates coming.

Thanks for your support!

Not sure if this has been answered - will a HWLabs Nemesis 280 GTS fit? Asking cause it's slightly bigger than other rads. Dimensions are 312mm x 153mm x 29.6mm.

I really need to get a new PSU and start sleeving..... maybe that'll alleviate some of the anxious waiting, lol
i’m waiting for the Asus Loki SFX-L gpu, knowing the 4090 will likely want it.

For people that want a taste of this build before it comes though, I’m currently building a ultra powerful 5950x/3090 Dual 360mm rad in the i100 Pro. it’s very much like this concept just horizontal instead of vertical. It’s 29l, so 9l bigger, but still gives you a taste of the same overall planning. (i’m actually doing a full sized ATX 1000watt psu and D5 Pump/120 flt res in it, basically a no compromise build). it’s a fun hold over until this case arrives this fall :) (though expensive, but I believe all of us posting in the SFF forum do this stuff for the fun, not the money ;) )

It's been radio silent on the Asus Loki for 6 months :/. Makes me wonder if it is even coming to market? But I am in the same boat holding out for a newer sfx PSU with more power + 16 pin connector.

Having massive regrets for not pre-ordering when I had the chance - especially with the recent release of the slim 280mm Alphacool Rads & slim 140mm Arctic P14's. If anyone know of a way for me to still get in on this case, I'm all ears.

Hadn't heard of this Asus psu before.... Too bad they're taking their sweet time to launch it. Wonder who the OEM is?

Was gonna grab the seasonic 1000w but it's $300. I'm all for enthusiast grade stuff, but damn, even I'm having a hard time justifying that.

Hey Guys,

Production is going well. We just got some updates on the IO assemblies. The metal parts are estimated to finish production on the 25th, (however might be a bit later). Hopefully we will have a factory shipment confirmation by the end of the month and I can release more accurate dates.

Best,

Taylor

Hey!

You're not the only one to message me about this. There is a lot going on in the world right now, so we are just focused on getting this first batch finished and validated. We are planning to launch another order hopefully beginning of next year. If we can learn some time saving processes from this first launch then maybe sooner. Thanks for asking.

Are we still looking at a September shipping date? Looking at the initial timeline we're delayed by something like a month if I'm not wrong?
Id bet on December at the absolute earliest but more likely February for delivery. It doesnt sound like the CNC and anodizing work is done yet so best possible scenario the factory finishes that by september. Thats two months sea freight to the USA, a month of sorting and packaging and another month of batch shipments to backers. Worst case scenario the factory doesnt finish until october/november and ships during holiday season when all the shipping lanes get jammed up. If that happens, id estimate around April for delivery. Just my best guess at the situation from my experience with other similar projects to this that I have bought.
