My ideal marketing pic would be a MacBook on one side and Winter One on the other. People are going to think, "Did Apple make a Mac Pro mini?"
Still got a week. Curious to see what @WinterCharm’s upcoming marketing plan is.
what happens when the Kickstarter campaign can’t reach its goal? Will the case not be available?
This project just needs some more exposure. Even some people on /r/sffpc have no idea the case exists.
The way I see it, this could go in a few ways:
1. Word gets out and the project gets funded.
2. WinterCharm funds the rest of KS. But then he loses money in KS fees, and he put plenty of money into the project already.
3. KS gets canceled and relaunched at a later date, maybe after LTT release their video and Ali decides to respond and review the case. But then you lose the already reserved manufacturing capacity (which I'm sure wasn't free) and push the manufacture to who-knows-when.
4. Project gets canned, which would suck major balls.
But we still have a week to go, so let's hope for the best.
Only found out about this project recently, but instantly backed it when I saw what you’re doing! Love the look/design of the case, and having the panels of the case basically be the entire “support structure” is genius - frees up a bunch of space inside the case.
I’m coming from a NCASE M1, and it’s a great case - been using it for 4+ years - but just too tight and not enough air flow for my tastes. I need cooler temps, especially since getting my hands on a 3080.
Two questions:
1) I currently have a 240mm NZXT AIO - did you think an AIO such as this will play nice with the case? Most of the water cooling discussion in this thread seems to be around custom loops, which is not a thing I’m actively looking to get into.
2) Will we eventually be able to buy different side panels? I’m going with the perforated panels because I want maximum airflow/cooling capability, but I do like the look of the solid of the solid panels and would like to someday play around with mixing and matching different panels.
Super excited for this project - now I just hope it gets funded. Good luck!
I don't know if its finalized? but is there pump/res dimensions if we use the bracket?
I ended up throwing things around in Sketchup to plan my loop and realized if I would use the upcoming FE block from EK, I'd have to go with the terminal that is faceing out of the side not to the pump. This means I'll probably go with 2x90's to connect the Pump to the GPU.
This leaves me with 2 questions @WinterCharm :
a) Can you tell me what is the total clearance from the PSU to the sidepanel (red line)
b) I assume the pump bracket is something like an "L" like in the screenshots you once posted: Will I be able to adjust the height somewhat freely (to align the pump outlet with the GPU inlet) or is it fixed? (blue line)
Thanks in advance
We've played around with this, or something similar in my lab. Not recommended. Left a few pieces on a window sill on a warm day and came back to permanently deformed parts.
i actually like it but most users keep it at the rainbow cycle and they often don't sync. proper rgb can easily complement a theme on a build though if you actually set up proper lighting and shading.
I would be happy to transplant my current T1 hardline loop to a beta test case, take some photo’s then send the case back.
I'm sure others on here would support you the same.
I guess the issue may be getting a case to anyone in time.

I told in this tread about KS project. No one listened. Just thumbs down and mark as troll.
Time of pc cases, itx cases at KS is gone. If you do not make something phenomenal and/or promote it hard before launch, you will fail.
I think I've got 8 total and 4 sitting in my fittings bin (one still in packaging). I might be able to part with a couple... ☺
Edit: you can also get some barrowch piano elbows. I don't like them though b/c it's a brass core with an aluminum alloy body.

The Marketing Plan:
1. Google and Facebook Ads -- putting this in front of more people is a big deal. The more we do this, the more likely someone is to consider backing it. We're A/B testing some ads, and trying to target the right communities, right now, as part of spinning up Paid Marketing. It'll take a few days to see the effects of this plan, but we'll do our best to make it happen.
Unfortunately I can't help the project much, but the more time goes by, the more I know I will have this case.
By the way, I have some questions, do you think the black DDR4 G.Skill Ripjaws V can be installed in the winter one, which fans can I install for my GTS 280?
I will receive the motherboard next week - Asus Strix X570-I, but I will wait a little bit before I buy the processor and the graphics card. I will certainly need your advice later.
The Kickstarter funding seems to be not growing... If this keeps on happening, we may not reach the goal of $67,000. If the Kickstarter is not funded, is there a plan?
By scenario 1, you mean LTT/OT reviews it?I can't really justify spending that much. I'm pretty sure we hit MOQ that WinterCharm mentioned a while back (which could've changed in the mean time, so don't quote me on that).

The post with the reply from WinterCharmBy scenario 1, you mean LTT/OT reviews it?
Perhaps instagram ads as well? My friend has lauded that platform for being affordable while being able to pinpoint the exact target demographic.
Have you thought of referral programmes as well? Some KS campaigns associate money back for bringing in 'friends' who purchase, those are probably easy 'word-of-mouth' marketing i can think of.
Wishing u all the success
Why did you decide to have the winner chosen after the Kickstarter ends and not before? Some of the unlucky folk might want to back it if they lose!Okay everyone. The plan to get this project a lot more exposure is now underway.
