Pretty sure "snatch up a group" meant purchasing the technology group including the intellectual property rights, not just hiring the employees.

I had a little difficulty with my GTX 1060 as well. I fiddled with it for a couple minutes because the card wouldn't go into the riser connector. I never figured out what the problem was because eventually, it just slid right in. My assumption is that the tolerances on the connector are tight...

Sorry guys, been out of the country for a week. Thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to try this one: https://www.amazon.com/Low-Profile-Header-Extender-Cable/dp/B01N7DU5LC/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1520289401 I need only about 5 inches of extra cable length, and this one is 8...

Several of your responses to critique refer to a newer design. Can you show that design? Seems like the best way to keep people interested is to show that it doesn't have the previously-mentioned flaws.

I somewhat like the concept, but I see a couple of big issues if you're planning for this to be a consumer product 1. Every corner and edge is a hazard that will nick or scratch everything it touches. 2. Even if you use a thin male-to-female extension, the power cord will still be on the...

Thanks for all the hard work, Fire! It's was really cool to watch your project progress from start to finish and to actually be able to buy the final product. BTW, this case is for my 13-year-old son and he is really happy with it, too. He has two friends for which I have built very similar...

Took about 45 minutes to move everything from the old case (Lian Li PC-A05B) to the MI-6. https://photos.app.goo.gl/c4LcXCovM47nHf8x1 https://photos.app.goo.gl/LEChTqcdfHCrUhvq2 https://photos.app.goo.gl/bi0QOigYS1eIoZAr2 https://photos.app.goo.gl/UWd2wP2wUXqs50xz2 Gigabyte Z170N-WIFI Core...

Woohoo! Received a shipment confirmation that mine will be delivered by 8pm tomorrow, so hopefully pictures a couple hours later.

Dang, my Corsair SF450 was just delivered today. When I read this, I quickly ordered a ATX-SFX adapter bracket so I can install the PSU into the current case that has all of the other parts installed and test it out before the seller return-period expires on the PSU. FYI, Wal-Mart has the the...

LOL! Yeah, that off-white that got more and more "off" with age (well, actually UV light exposure).

I found a video of the Hades Canyon including the power supply. The PSU is huge, well, relatively. The NUC + PSU are going to be around 2L combined. See the PSU at around 1:45. The guy says it's about the same size as a Skull Canyon which he pulls out at 2:10.

Right. On my Skull Canyon, the external PSU brick is 0.27L, well over 1/3 the volume of the unit.

Thinking about replacing a system with i7-5775C in a Casetronic/Travla C287 (3.8L, Iris Pro graphics only) with a Hades Canyon NUC. I assume the 1.2L does not include the 230W power brick which I also assume is somewhat large.

Atom/Celeron/Pentium-based NUC or similar. E.g., NUC6CAYH, but there are several options available from various manufacturers. None are super cheap for what they are but they'll still easily fit in your budget.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure now it was the Pop-up blocker add-on for Chrome. No worries. Now the wait.

Just ordered. Had to use Edge because neither the Checkout nor the PayPal button worked in Chrome. I have ad blocker and popup blocker installed, so that might be the reason.

I am curious if anything is gained by facing the PSU fan upward so it can help exhaust heat from the case.

I looked around and the photo snowdog posted is purported to be the motherboard from the new Hades Canyon NUC from Intel. http://nucblog.net/2017/11/hades-canyon-nuc-to-feature-amd-graphics/

Thanks for the update. Can't wait.

With a little luck, we'll be seeing NUC or NUC-derivatives with this chip for sale in a few months, but I have a hunch these, like several previous Iris Pro chips, will be in short supply due to demand from Apple for a while at least.

I just noticed that the newest renders show half-sized slots on every other row at the edges of the vent areas. They make the edges of the vent areas look less jagged. Nice job! Can't wait to see photos of the prototypes. Hope they got done today as previously planned.

Firewolfy, do the PSU mounts allow for the PSU to be mounted with the fan facing either up or down?

Definitely some fit-and-finish work to do to make it production-worthy, but it's a good start. Here are my suggestions: 1. Move the power button next to the USB ports and make it smaller. 2. Change the vent hole size/spacing to allow more air flow. 3. Eliminate ALL of the visible seams in the...

Vote cast. I signed up at SFF just to participate in this survey. Honestly, i would be quite happy with either design. They both just scream high class!

Is there really a need for the flange/fold at all? Can the top just attach to the interior frame instead of attaching it to the folded tabs from the sides? The interior frame looks like it already has flanges in the correct places. I'm assuming there is some underlying reason for making the...

Pro: I think I do like the look of the front better with the rounded edges. Con: The idea of making your own front cover that was tossed around awhile back goes away. There appear to be two small notches in the topmost edges of the sides. They almost negate the effort put into the elegant...

That's cool, especially if you can figure out a way to mount it that's out-of the way, like both the DC-DC and AC-DC mounted flat against the backside of the front panel. I don't know if I'm figuring this correctly, but the efficiency is going to be only 81%+ (94%+ of 86%+ after you factor in...

Just do yourself a favor and use an SFX-PSU with ATX-to-SFX adapter. I built one a couple months ago with and EVGA SuperNova 650 G2. To get the PSU in place and route the wires, I had to disassemble the case to where only the bottom and back were still together. I got it back together and...

Thanks, no need to do anything special. I'm more interested in the front panel with ports, but thought if they were both available, it wouldn't hurt to have the other panel just in case I ever re-purpose the system for the living room.

Were you going to offer the option of buying both front panels with the case or buying either front panel separately?

It's been a month. Anxious to get an update on the prototype.

I got the Metis Plus and built a system with it for a friend of my 12-year-old son. This time I attempted to use an ATX PSU (EVGA SuperNova 650 G2). It is feasible by removing the 2.5" drive bracket bolted inside of the top panel of the case. Without doing that, there was a strain on the...

There were two things that turned me away from the Sentry: the weight and the price (with shipping). Fix those (without creating new weaknesses, such as the sharp corners in the renderings) and it would be enough for me to buy it. Add a nice brushed and anodized front panel and you'd have...

Whoah, that aluminum is thick.

I built a similar system with a Metis a couple months ago. I added a 120mm blow hole on top, reversed the rear fan, and moved the glass to the inside of the side panel. However, I used a Corsair SF450 PSU, M.2 SSD only, and no water cooling, so the case is empty compared to yours. I also plan...

I don't think the top fans are worth it. If this case already runs reasonably cool and quiet with relatively high-end components like a GTX1070 and a 65W i7 CPU, without overclocking, then you're done. There are other options for enthusiasts that want to push the limits, such as custom...

What about Gigabyte Brix GB-BKi5HT-7200. Looks like it's just a re-branded NUC7i5BNH. I don't know about availability, though.

The original release date was scheduled for April 3, so it's not way past due yet. What features does it have that keeps you from getting the Skylake version?

FYI, there are a lot of cases available that are similar to the Antec ISK110 and In-Win BQ series. If you go with thin-mini-ITX form-factor boards, they can be even smaller (e.g. Silverstone PT13B) and have the benefit of not even needing an internal PSU because the DC-DC part is built into the...
