That's why many jobs are going over seas. Get the same quality for much cheaper labor. If American workers cant up the quality why bother paying them the higher pay they so often demand? In many respects we Americans have become complacent and soft. Its hurting us.
Anyway, its great you guys are giving Matt this info about the power supply extension. He can use it to get it dealt with properly.
These things happen. Back a few years ago the Qmicra came out and it was extremely innovative but a few oversights plus a few advances in technology caused the need for a Qmicra 2. Now it is a fairly popular computer case.That's why many jobs are going over seas. Get the same quality for much cheaper labor.

Granted most of them were not Quality Control relatedTrue, Dave had some problems in the beginning too but he overcame them and has a good business growing. I think Matt can overcome them too if he keeps at it.
With free upgrades.Hi Steve,
Shhhhhhhhh!!
Still a bad time to make mistakes...the economy still stinks!Hi Steve,
They are working on it.
For their defense, keep in mind we asked the plant to produce 150 cases in less than 2 weeks. And this was the first run, where you always have some issues coming up.
I'm positive that they will shape up quickly and get the production going smoothly with all the small issues resolved in the near future.
They want to keep the job here in the US and will do everything they can to make it happen.
Lan Gear wants to provide quality, so we'll do anything it will take to make it happen!
Look at my second set of pics, first link in the post. Issue with the one of the tabs when installing two 3.5" HDDs.
As far as errors, we are humans, so there might me a few small issues coming up. Make sure to document it and post it on the forum or even better, send them directly to us.
Of course, we will do our best to replace every part that is concerned. So no worries.
For the HDD cage, we would also like to test different anti vibration foams. And we will do this with this new part one. The tab is an issue, but we'd like to improve where we can.
Our objective is still to have the best possible customer service. Although we haven't provided the smooth launch we were shooting for.
Otherwise, I welcome pictures of any configuration you have already mounted. I want to see these big heatsinks and water cooling setup!
Actually, for very high end memory module (the very tall ones and fans mounted on top), the case was designed so that you could entirely remove the HDD cage and mount 2 2.5" hard drive under the CD drive bay. So unless you need 4 x 2.5" drive, you can make it work the way it is. But we are of course looking at different possibilities. The tricks is to make it fit.
I will try and post up my experiences with the case, but I just wanted to mention something for anyone planning on a P55 build. The CPU socket is much closer to the PCI express slot on 1156 boards, so the heat sink clearance is different than on a 775 or 1366 board. I was foolish enough to try and stuff a Noctua DH14 in my case. I had to pull out the bracket for the GPU fan to get the Noctua to fit. Doing this basically renders the motherboard tray non-removable in my situation.
I am going to try and swap out the heat sink for a different heat sink so I can reinstall the GPU fan. The case sits on my desk only a few feet from my head, and I am trying to make it as quiet as possible. I am going to take some measurements and see if it will fit, but I am considering the following options below. I am also trying to configure the case so that it is positive pressure, as I really don't want to have to deal with cleaning out dust the interior on a regular basis. I will take measurements when I pull the current heat sink out, but these are what I am considering:
Noctua:

Or the Noise Limit SilentFlux (provided I can find one)
Oh yea, my PSU extension cable died on me after about a day. For me, the only real disappointment for me was the gaps on the front face plate. I will probably send this case out to get a custom paint job, but so far I am really pleased. My Blu-Ray drive wouldn't fit, due to the heat sink being so large. So, right now, I have a fan controller installed in that bay, but once I get the heat sink issue worked out, I am hoping to mount the fan controller to one of the 2.5 hard drive trays in the lower hard drive tray. I will be sure to post some better pictures and some more feedback on the case as my build is going to be a bit of a work in progress.
Hi everybody,
I just want to keep you updated on our progress. We are going to send every single one of you who have received a DA BOX the following:
- 1 new front bezel cover.
- 1 new HDD cage.
- 1 new power cord.
Please, keep in mind that it will take some time to have them made. But I will make sure that everybody is satisfied. I guess we'll have to call this a beta test!
.... yes, it is also a possibility... that I would like to avoid
. The motherboard tray is very expensive to make. But maybe we can provide a plastic insert that goes into the standoff to prevent any further problem and still be compatible with motherboard tray that uses it (such as the DFI Lanparty). What do you think of that option?But this is the best part. The Beta test!
Yes, you can be listed in the copyrights.
Oh, can I be listed as well?Can I post a word documents that everybody can edit then maybe?
I could post the original basic manual and we can all add to it.
Right now, I'm working on tweaking DA BOX so i'm spending most of my time with suppliers and CAD drawings. But this week end, I'll spend more time on the new manual.
Do you think we should post a very detailed one on the website?
Yes, you can be listed in the copyrights.
Oh, can I be listed as well?
I think a on-line manual or PDF on a CD would be the way to go.
Yeah, too many cooks in the kitchen.
Interesting. Never used google docs either, but it could work.What if I create a document under Google? Wouldn't that solve the problem?
