Have you guys looked into VHF power conversion, as provided by e.g. FINsix? They are selling a tiny 65W laptop charger, but I'm not sure how ready/interested they would be in a higher power requirement application (and you'd still need something like the HDPlex DC-ATX board).

I think I didn't fully realize just how small (in the height dimension) this prototype is - thanks for the pic!

For me, the top fans are plenty already, so this is just curiosity on my part: I don't understand why there wouldn't be space for a rear 80mm+ exhaust fan. In your most recent "I-beam" GIFs, couldn't such a fan span both the graphics card and motherboard partitions of the I? Anyway, to add my 2...

So there's also an Andyson SFX pus with a 92mm fan: http://www.andysonpower.com/index.php/power-supply/2015-06-26-13-37-48/sfx-g600w Cannot find them for purchase anywhere though, so no idea if it's actually out or not. Does anyone know more?

No idea about the x99 motherboard. However, it may be worth looking into a mini itx board that comes with a Xeon D - these are also broadwell cores, and supposedly there's going to be a 16 core variant in early 2016. The 10 core hedt may still be faster as the Xeon D is supposed to be about...

A few random disconnected thoughts: Aesthetically, I really like the bent metal foot on your latest 2c render - it is vaguely reminiscent of radiator fins (and it really made me wonder what it would look like if there were more contact points with the ground). Just as a data point... there...

For the red case - to make the side front io ports relocateable, would it work to have fixed side vents and power button, with the USB ports and jacks on a board that screws into the back of the vent pieces? You'd insert cables through a vent hole, which might make for an even cleaner look. Or...

The mac/2 design with perforated black front panel sounds great to me. Stainless steel is an idea, but would it actually be cheaper than thick aluminum? Isn't it significantly harder to work with than aluminum? Also, I'm not sure Necere's heart is in that design... For the red case: I don't...

I really like the half-mac case look a lot as well, but I doubt I'd dig it as much with standard case feet. Can you give a rough estimate of the cost if you were to make the whole outer shell out of 4mm aluminum?

I don't know whether I am representative or not... but I am planning on buying a v1 whether or not there is a backer reward. Anywyay, off in lala-land, am I crazy to want this case in stainless steel?

You may be interested to read this from here. There's a section on manufacturability in the faq at the end. It's a mechanically simple design and apparently they are using cold forging, which is supposedly low cost. Some more interesting excerpts: No idea what "soon" means or when this...

Err sorry, yes I meant on the bottom. I was also contemplating somehow mounting a fan directly to the top of the PSU, but I'm not sure if that would encroach on the mobo/ram area too much. Hanakuso - I'll take a look at the st45sf-g again (I'm OK with a little wooshing). Did you mean with...

Finances have delayed my V2 build for a bit, and so I've had a lot of time on my hands to contemplate component choices. The complaints about sx600g whining and chirping have me a little spooked, so I was thinking of getting Gigabyte's new mini-ITX 970 and a Seasonic fanless 520W power supply...

I missed a tab in the spreadsheet. Thanks - that cooler looks great!

I was thinking of the new Asus impact mobo, but it just doesn't seem worth the money to me (I'd rather go with a cheaper mobo and get a better CPU or GPU). So I'm also looking at the ASRock Z97E-ITX/ac, but am stumped as to which air cooler to get. There's no column for the Z97E-ITX/ac on the...

Even though there are apparently strange people like me out there that prefer the look of leather, I most definitely do not prefer the price tag and maintenance work that comes along with it. I think the material choice was a good one. Will this bag for sure fit the M1 rev 2?

If you are still trying to gauge demand - I'd buy one if you did another campaign. I didn't manage to get one today, and didn't find out about the M1 till the first runs were well past sold out. I suspect I'm far from the only one... Whatever you end up deciding though - good luck on your...
