how will the posters ship? Tube boxes or folded into Winter One box?

They are packed flat inside the Winter One box We made them 9 x 13 to ensure they could be shipped flat inside the box. SFF case, SFF poster

But when you hold one, you'll see that we took a large poster, and upped the quality just as much as we shrunk the poster itself

That's awesome! Congrats!

I don't do discord, would you mind trying to cross post some of these major-type announcements here too? Thanks

Of Course! I'll be sure to drop those types of updates here, more often, as well.

That's great! I was worried for a little bit that the poster could be folded...

Update #18 is Live!

Batch 1 has started shipping!!! ​

Quick Summary​

• 26 Batch 1 cases have shipped. Some people are getting cases as early as tomorrow!
• Another Shipment of Side Panels arrived today.
• We ran into issues with pre-paid VAT, and cannot offer it at this time. We’ll be working on integrating it into our system in the future, but it's currently causing havoc in our invoicing system.
• Revision 8 of the user manual is now out.

Batch 1 Shipments​

• If your case has shipped, will have gotten a receipt via email, that contains tracking information, as well as any notes, your case serial number, and the list of options you used.
• Please be careful removing the power button from the packaging. (don’t yank it by the cord, pull the button out directly by the body / switch).
• We’d love to see your impressions / live reactions as you unbox your cases please send them our way!
• For your safety, everyone who packed cases tested negative for COVID within the last week (PCR tests). Additionally, parts were cleaned with isopropyl and everyone was masked during the packing process.

​

QC Update​

• 2920 / 3085 parts have arrived. (95% completion!)
• A Shipment of side panels just arrived today. They will be QC'd and we will pack and ship additional cases this week.

Website Update​

• We’ll be updating the website with a community page soon, where we will be sharing some of your builds.
• Please send in pictures / videos if you’d like to be featured there!
• We made more progress on Stripe integration, to prepare the way for Batch 2.
• There may be a little bit of downtime this week, as we update systems in the background, but we'll try to keep the site up as much as possible, so access to the manual isn't interrupted.

Manual Update​

Winter One Manual v1.2 Revision 8 is out. You can download it from HERE

• More updates and clarity on cord length for custom cabling
• More tool tips added to clarify parts of the manual
• Manual is finished, save for small corrections we may apply in the future

I hope you'll have to get a bigger mini-van for the next shipments! ;-)

I'm thinking we fold down the second row, and this thing becomes the official transport vehicle... I bet he could fit every single pre order in there. lol

My wife has an odyssey and we've put all kinds of stuff in there with the seats folded down.

I hope he's got the V-6 and deluxe disc brakes, because that puppy is going to be HEAVY.

For a case called the Winter One - that's damn hot.

Can't wait to see initial reviews etc - but it looks amazing!

Between that update and the latest Meshlicious delay I'm stuck wondering if I made the right choice.

Oh well, time to live vicariously through everyone's impressions.

If you went meshlicious over this case, you made the wrong choice.

On hold for now. I'm waiting on a few parts.

...and I wanted to work on my motorcycle tonight anyways. I'm a happy man right now, I've got a week's worth of computer parts and motorcycle parts on the way in!

The amount of attention to detail in the beta units is pretty surprising, but then @WinterCharm went and took literally every single piece of feedback, no matter how minute, and fixed it.

That riser cable? Shortened by 1cm from the beta version so it’ll be nice and snug
