Totally agree. Every day I'm thinking "Is it Sunday Sentry update time yet?" I've even noticed the pictures on the Twitter posts are higher resolution, so I've been admiring all the pictures' detail through there.I live for the weekly updates. They're the only thing keeping me sane right now.
Thinking really hard about taking a trip to Microcenter for a R5 1600 or R7 1700 with the Biostar B350/X370 and order a Dynatron T318 to be used with SaperPL's AM4 adaptor.
I am definitely planning on using the Sentry for travel. My backpack is the eBags Professional Slim, and it "should" fit...I'm quite ready for the change because my RVZ02 has quite a few dents from just three times traveling in a huge backpack (not the eBags backpack).Quick question to any sentry buyers that are planning on using it when travelling too:
any backpack recommendations that would support the sentry, a 10-keyless keyboard, mouse and other peripherals like an xbox controller.
My current backpack is ok, but only has one pouch aside from the laptop pouch and i fly to and from work every 4 weeks so i'm looking for any suggestions of bags you think will carry well for a day.
My current interest is a carhartt bag with a laptop compartment https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SV72JZ8/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
Let me know if you've got any personal favorites or suggestions.
Any word on that adapter? I'm actually really interested in it if we can get one workable. Would go great with my R7 1700 when I get it.
No update this week?
We used to make an update on Saturday evening or Sunday morning, but this time it will be a little bit late, probably Sunday evening. We got tons of emails which we need to answer and also we are filling shipping forms for the first part of Sentry cases, so we need some time to move forward. In Poland we already have the 30th of April (it's 1:35 am CET when i'm writing this post) which is the last day of this month, so for us, as engineers, it is a deadline to give you an information about sending the packages. Some of you probably noticed 2 days ago (28.04 and 29 04) we have locked their indiegogo shipping change option. In few hour we will send you an update with all the information you would need or expect. We are ready with the first transport of Sentry cases, but there will be some good and bad information. We will explain everything in the update.
p.s. but don't worry too much
Where is it possible to purchase those (in Europe) ? What size do you need ?I already have so many ideas for customization. Planning to use a silver, machined, RGB vandal switch for the power button.
I'm in the 100 first orders and got a white Sentry. I can still edit my shipping address, that probably means that white Sentry buyers will have to wait one or two more weeks for the paint job to be finished. It's worth the waitSome of you probably noticed 2 days ago (28.04 and 29 04) we have locked their indiegogo shipping change option.

Hype! I can't wait to get my case. Thank you for being so honest and upfront about the problems that you've had to overcome with this campaign. It's no fun being left in the dark with crowd funding.
Will the packages require a signature?
I never got any notification that my order was now locked. But can see that now, excited and looking forward to getting it and a new build going
Great thanks for the updates! But then the first 150 black sentries left and we will receive the tracking and finish the long weekend?

How are the LEDS powered ? With the "Power Led" pins on the motherboard (next to all the other pins for the power switch, reset, hard drive activity led) ?
This is the RGB switch I got.
https://www.tindie.com/products/Fusion/12mm-and-16mm-antivandal-rgb-colorpixel-buttons/
It requires a microcontroller which would then be connected to what ever you want. Straight to the psu, or I suppose to the front panel header. I'm still deciding which controller to get.
Will it be easy to swap out Sentry's power switch for this? I don't know how large its hole is, but if it requires enlarging it to fit, I'm not interested in doing so.
It is a 16mm switch just like the Sentry already uses. No change should be required to Sentry. The hardest part is actually wiring this switch as it requires a separate pwm microcontroller. I doubt it'll work just connecting to the front panel header.
Wait... I bought the same switch. (Though the dude sent me a 12mm switch instead and didn't respond to any attempt to contact him. :/ ) Assuming that you have a motherboard with an RGB header, shouldn't wiring this be fairly straightforward?
Use two leads - one goes from the pads for the lights to a 4-pin RGB connection, and the other goes to a regular two-pin power switch connector. You shouldn't need a microcontroller or any weird jump-connection to turn the computer on then.
Unless I'm missing something...?
If I ordered a 2 case pack, black + white... Will the black case arrive first or will I wait longer for both to arrive at the same time? I was order #136 or something around there.

Oh wow that's unfortunate he sent a 12mm. Yeah he didn't respond to my email asking about what microcontroller he recommends. The RGB LEDS of the switch require a pwm signal and share a common ground, and the actual momentary switch part functions as you'd expect.
As for a 4-pin motherboard rgb connection I have no idea how they work, my system is older with no rgb headers, so I'll need a microcontroller. Do typical rgb headers have a pwm signal? If so just check if the voltage coming off them is less than 5v which I suspect is the max operating voltage of the LEDs/switch.
That switch uses 2.1V / 3.1V / 3.1V for RGB according to the order page, and ASUS motherboards (AURA) uses 12V. I don't know what other motherboards uses, but it should say in the manual. You'll blow the LED's if you don't have resistors between the motherboard and LED's in that case. I also noticed the pins on ASUS are 12V / G / R / B (no common ground), and the switch has pins for Ground, R, G, B and Switch. That probably means you have the invert the power for it to work, and much more complicated than I have knowledge about it.
It's #135, not #136 then. If that's your order, then your black case was already made with cases scheduled for this first shipment and is waiting for the white case from next shipment to be packed together.
...few orders at the end of the list would be shifted to the next shipment of the same colour, which for single cases and double packs of same colour is two weeks of a difference.
Sentry is getting so close! I can't wait!
Got some machined aluminum feet from Lian Li too. They look just like these below on my pc-q01. Going to make my sentrys look super clean and professional.
This is still months away tho...There will be retail sale soon after the ks finishes I believe if that helps...
If you get the card, would you mind posting the temps?forgive me if this question was answered before, does this card fit in the Sentry dimension wise (regardless of the TDP recommendations) ?
