This information should probably be added to the first post.

They've already said that they are going to be purchasing extras to cover against manufacturing defects and shipping damages.

I'm going to transplant my current computer into this case (currently it's in an SG05). i7 3770k Galaxy GTX680 4gb model Samsung 840 pro 256 gb SSD 3 TB HDD ASRock Z77 mobo 16 gb RAM I'm going to purchase a new CPU cooler of some sort (probably an H60) because I've still got the...

I'd prefer the etching, personally.

Not yet. Production Kickstarter/Indiegogo is coming soon.

Ooh, neat! Thanks for the tip - I might just get one (or two).

Cool - thanks for the input. I agree that they are comparatively small issues, but I thought I would take the opportunity for a small thread-jack and get some input from someone who has experience with portable workstations and has clearly put a lot of thought into the process.

USB-monitors have low enough performance that I wouldn't consider them worthwhile on a system with actual graphics hardware. Fine for a secondary monitor, but I wouldn't one as a main monitor. Hotel TVs are an option, though a bit location specific. The entire system would be useless outside of...

Fortunately GPUs tend not to be running at max capacity during boot-up sequences. EDIT: Damn, beaten to the snark.

Any thoughts about monitor and keyboard mouse pairings for portable workstations like this? It's all well and good if the computer itself can fit in a carry-on, but without a monitor it's a bit useless and flying with a 27" desktop monitor seems to defeat the purpose.

Indiegogo also has the added bonus of anybody in the world being able to start one, instead of just US or UK residents.

The NCase hasn't sold out. Spots on the priority list have been sold out, but the NCase has yet to fund/do a production run and as such hasn't sold any units.

If it's anything like similar inter-company operations in the field that I'm in, that PSU likely went back and forth a hundred times between the two companies as revisions and designs were changed and updated. If you're going to pay another company a large sum of money to make a product, you...

@kuhla: There is quite a bit of support for an internal ODD. It just happens to be a bit of a divisive issue.

I'm assuming that he means an addon in the kickstarter sense of the word - an upgrade that you buy in addition to the tier of reward you pledge at ie. I would pledge at the tier that gets me the case, then add on the non-ODD top as an extra fee. I could be pretty easily convinced to buy a...

If I may ask, why is it that you don't want an optical drive slot? If its because you want the smallest case possible that can fit a GTX 680, then I would recommend the SG05/06. They do have an optical drive, but I don't know of any case smaller that also has two expansion slots and the right...

Was it Necere? Because that would be awkward. ;)

I like the idea of a designing for changing use over time aka. growing into a thing. Going to have to write that down somewhere.

Because they're different sections of your post, and he wanted to respond to each in turn?

Based on the current success of the campaign, it doesn't look like it'll be a worry whether or not you can get 300 customers for a supply run. $10 tier sold out already! Congrats!

Fully funded with 26 days to go! You guys may have to come up with some stretch goals :)

I've chipped in my $10. Looking forward to the secondary campaign when it comes.

I kind of like M1 because it brings to mind the naming scheme used for most weapons in Mass Effect.

Personally, I think that an external DVD drive is definitely the way to go unless you are playing a lot of blurays on it or something. I never use DVD drives outside of the initial operating system installation. Even then, I tend to use a 5.25" internal from an extra computer wired into an open...

Is this question directed at general backers, or at people with actual knowledge of shipping? Also, would a kickstarter count as an online store for these purposes?

Another vote for no ODD, though if it doesn't make the case bigger or edge out other features then I don't really mind so much.

To be fair, it's a discussion about how to handle audio hardware for this case in particular.

The Prodigy fits a lot in, but it's also quite large. Bordering on mATX in size, with over twice the volume of this case.

Wow, that is really neat. The amount of options this case gives you out of the box is not for the faint of heart!

As long as the symbols are legible (we've all seen bad offenders on this front) I think symbols are the way to go. Good way to get around potential language barriers.

Actually, I disagree. Relying entirely on colour-coding for labeling is bad UI design. I think you might be able to get away with it in this case given that it is being designed for a very limited audience, but I wouldn't recommend it. I don't know how it would play out with people that are...

Can't hurt to have one. It could always be left disconnected if so desired, right?

You may be shocked to hear this, but people use computers for high end tasks that aren't gaming. Never mind that most != all. I've personally decided on a 3770K because it'll cut my compile times in half... EDIT: Though given that this thread specifically mentions gaming, I'm just tangenting here.

Even at the regular price, that's a pretty good find. Pretty much on the top of my list for secondary/travel monitors right now. Thanks!

There is a thread here that is still active on this topic: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1692285

Chiming in just to say that I am also very interested in this.

ODD isn't a big loss. The velcro method seems reasonably feasible. Would the H60 be the best way to go? Or are there any alternative cooling solutions? As far as the monitor goes, I guess wasn't being very clear. The 27" would stay at home, and I would have a secondary sub-20" monitor that I...

Ah, oops. Knew I missed something. If I go with the SG05, I'll use the 450W PSU that comes with it. In the case of Lian Li alternative, I'll likely get one of the Silverstone modular SFX 450W PSUs. One possibility, depending on timing, is that I could get the SG05 and PSU while waiting on the...

So I am starting a new job soon, one with a higher salary, and that means it is finally time to upgrade my old system from 2008. The are two things I am looking for in this build. First: reasonably portable. I don't own a car, so ideally I would like to be able to take this on the bus with me...
