It would be very hard for me to believe this project is only profit motivated. Dan is a small form factor enthusiast who probably doesn't want to starve working on a labor of love.
Noise is a large factor for me so I will be looking at the best balance I can find.
From what I can gather, the stock intel cooler is 45mm vs the 47mm C7 and that the 2mm difference between them is enough to increase the noise by a fair margin.
For targeting an upgraded cpu cooler, do you...
Any new info regarding the performance data with the C7? I also am curious when the case you are sending to Linus is estimated to be manufactured. Is by the end of this month a possibility?
If for some reason this whole project ends up falling through, I am going to be supremely envious that I know such a beautiful piece of hardware exists and you have it all to yourself.
Sorry if you have already covered this but I couldn't find it when using search. Will this support 2.5" HDDs that are 15mm in thickness or just the slimmer drives?
I love it and seeing it so close to a final production unit makes me feel very impatient. I keep looking longingly at the empty spot in my entertainment center where a Sentry case will sit.
I don't expect you to give any considerable thought to this, but if I wanted to mod the case myself, would a slim blu ray drive, 12.7mm (H) x 128mm (W) x 129mm (D), fit next to a short gpu card? For example an R9 nano which is 152mm long.
Wow! That latest render with the 5mm hole design is by far my favorite design. It looks incredible and the accent running through the middle of the gives it just enough character for it to not look boring/sterile.
I think your approach to get the tiny details right is the correct one. Too many times people will decry a product based on one small detail and spread bad word of the entire product based on it. All or nothing attitudes of consumers can break entrepreneurial endeavors so it's best to try to...
I just read through the entire thread and signed up to say how excited I am to see the design and progress you have made with this project. I have been wanting a case with this form factor for a long time and your design looks better than I thought feasible. I hope you can finish up with as...
