The Chimera MachOne: For the pros. Small meets flexible.

[epulicious]

I've just ordered a ASUS X570 Crosshair VIII Impact M-DTX-Mainboard along with an AMD Ryzen R9 3900x.. all that's missing now is the beautiful machone including the announced m-dtx support <3
really hope 2020 is the year when it finally arrives!

That's exactly the setup I have right now. I have the Ncase M1 on the way, but as I said, this case is too beautiful so I'll also buy this when it's available.

Prototype - Introducing the Chimera CX2

I: Introduction Hello all, @Wahaha360 and I have been working on a new enclosure for some time now, but I think we're at the point where we'd like to share our work and begin to collect feedback. Say hello to the Chimera CX2: A render of the current version of the CX2 design II: Current...

ATX case thread.

Maybe next month I can show what I want to do with the MachOne execution.

Valentines day ?
normal people: i have to buy chocolate for my love
Wahaha360: I love you guys, here is my plan for the MachOne ;D

really looking forward to it.

@Wahaha360 , it is technically next month...! With the teasers of the (forthcoming) Cerebus Mini, and the (not-quite SFF) Lian Li TU150 out there, I am thinking of a new home for my mDTX motherboard, and am really interested to see what the mDTX MachOne offers...! Come on man, give us something...! ;^p

 

[epulicious]

Fingers crossed

 

[M1AF]

Watching the C4 and T1 release has me hopeful we can get a picture of this case some time soon. Mach One has been back burnered into oblivion.

 

[Wahaha360]

can't finalize manufacturing without T1 finalizing.

 

[Wahaha360]

Mini-ITX MachOne using Sidearmd resources will come first:

Concept - FormD T1 V2.0

2021-12-01: Discord Server We also opened a Discord Server because it's a better format for speedier feedback. So come and say hello. 2021-03-22: T1 EVO (aka V2.0) launch pushed to 2022Q1 Both the Mobo and GPU collaboration planned alongside for T1 EVO (aka V2.0) are pushed back due to global...

Once I figure out how to quality control the front panel, where holes are around a curve, I will make the Mini-DTX / Micro ATX version.

Love the design. Hope it would release in 2020. Will definitely grab one.

Btw, I have few questions regarding to cooling performance based on the air cooling layouts:
1. Would CPU always intake hot air from front GPU if the air pressure is from front to back in Gear One layout? Since the side panel is not perforated, it seems like it could potential blowing hot air from GPU to the CPU, and CPU cannot intake any cool fresh air.
2. Most GPUs are now open-air. Would it cause cyclic hot air between GPU and front case fan in Gear Two?

1. it's a problem with prototype design, so I added fan mounting next to motherboard in my latest iteration (not shown).
2. it's a problem with prototype design, adding fans next to motherboard in my latest iteration is my attempt to address this problem.

I'm not working on the large Mach One at the moment. I'm working on a smaller one first.

 

[kkl888]

Sweet~ I'm looking for small itx version too

 

[JayMoon]

@Wahaha360 should we not expect the large Mach one this year then?

 

[Boil]

@Wahaha360 So is the mDTX version of the MachOne now the vertical P1...? I am so confused...! ;^p

 

[schn1tt3r]

Don't know which I like more between this and the Sidearm P1. Might end up buying both even though I already have an N1 haha, they are all just too pretty.

 

[Vacceo]

I know the development of the MachOne is on hold till the vertical sidearmd is released but I was thinking...

Is it possible to implement the back side symetrical to the front to increase the options for watercooling? Just as the upper front part has the room for the bay res with a pump, the back could use an upper (or lower) cutout for the PSU and the space upwards or downwards for a radiator and fans.

Any updates on the Mach One? Been really interested in this case, are there two versions of it now?

 

[M1AF]

pls

 

[Wahaha360]

I plan to release a mainstream ITX soon with the Mach One front panel as an option. So hopefully sometime in September.

Just mITX, or mDTX as well?
