In looking over the Sliger website recently, I noted that the SM sandwich style cases, the SV vertical style cases, and the S610 the smaller of the traditional cases have all been discontinued leaving only the Cerberus X, Cerberus, S620, and the Conswole cases available. Panel color will also be limited to black after existing color stocks of grey and white are exhausted.

Can't compete, bad engineering design, finish work on aluminum 2nd rate. Further, Louque has similar problems, they cannot supply tophats in any thickness, and color choices, if you can find one, are sliver. Clones and imperfect copies are the way of the world, You builders just don't want to spend for quality. IE most SFF builders are cheapies. The SFF motto for most, if it is smaller it has to cost less...

Yep, its hard to make a quality SFF case when the chinese can make them in slave labor factories for literally 13 dollars. (Well, my feeling is you get pushed towards the ultra high end by this phenomenon)

As a matter of the market....the market interest has moved on from sandwich layout, which is well trodden, and everyone who wants to build one has already. The new hot form factor is the vertical layout like Meshlicious. It doesn't help that there is now brand name competition in the space doing the same layouts for less money without sacrificing much in quality.

It also doesn't help that GPU size continues to be insane, ergo compatibility with cases like Ghost is a real problem as it was designed before Ampere even came out.
