I waiting 1 month :D

Just a suggestion LD but why not try the PSU above the PCI slots. This would give room for upto 2 149mm x 4 rads in the bottom and a 120 x 3 rad in the top (part of the rad being above the 5 1/4 drives.

Lookin good. I'm working on gettin money together for one of these.

Pics added into post 2. :)

Very nice. I do really like these cases. I personally would prefer if the bottom section was bigger for stacking rads like you can in the V2000

Loving inverted ATX. Just beautiful. Also the dual PSU is a huge plus for all those tri/quad SLI /Crossfire set ups! :up:

Why still have the HDD cage face in the other normal direction? Just keeps cost down? Seems a little troublesome for those who swap drives a lot.

One more question. Any plans for a removeable motherboard tray? Allowing atx or inverted ATX would rock most people's socks off!

As usual, I'm loving your work!

Thanks.:up:

HDD cage is removable and you can rotate it, so if you swap drives alot you can rotate it.

Motherboard tray is removable ;)

Thanks :up:

Looks great LD ! :)

So is that a 4 way & 3 way Rsd's that fit in the bottom ?
Its a bit confusing, to me at least. Looks like 2x 3 way Rads in the bottom area.

In the bottom is possible to place 2 x 480mm radiators and 1 x 480mm radiator on the top of the case.

LittleDevil: what do you think of uniting all threads about different your case variations into one? Or at least two, with 2nd being phase cooling one? Imho they all have many common things, and it probably is PITA to post news relevant to all of them in each of the threads.
Also imho you should add some extra numbers or letters to case version, so that user can easier distinct which version he can buy @all the different shops without inquiring shop for details. Eg. one letter for reverse one, one for SR-2 support, one with new cable management cuts and so on. Something like LD PC-V8.3 or LD PC-V8RSC.

If you look little better you can see:

Reference : PC-V8-BW-4W-RE
Reference : PC-V8 BW-SR2-RE

Kind Regards

Your cases keep getting better and better! :clap:
I really like the black and white version. :yepp:
Now I just wish you used different fan grills, and it'd be perfect! :D

P.S. Any reason why the bottom part's so tall? I assume it's because it shares the same structure with your Phase Case. Radiators don't really need nearly as much height. Can put dual PSUs like this (more reliable with them both sitting on the floor, too), reduce the case's height, and thus make the case not quite as tall, lighter, and possibly cheaper. :)

Thanks. Fan grils will be the same, we won't change it :)
If you want to install 3 x 480mm radiators inside it needs to be that tall, because radiators are under PSU.

Kind Regards

BTW, may i ask as to why you won't change it? I recall that asked many times in your cases threads. If there is demand, why not make what customers prefer? At such price point one would like to have case without drawbacks including looks area, however great case might be in other areas, yet i wonder where is gain to NOT make what customers want when you had made few changes on customer feedback related with other things (eg. cable management cuts)?
I can understand that making separate/interchangeable radgrills might rise price. I can also understand that you don't want to make multiple versions with different grill designs for same reason. But in that case, why the only design should be current bricky one? I might be wrong, but imho something like stripes design might look much better and make case more popular. At very least i suggest to create poll and ask what design of grills users would like most (bricky/hex/stripes/mesh).

It looks like the case could be made on a CNC punch, well perhaps most of the parts, in which case LD is constrained to a set few punch shapes and sizes, the case would be even more expensive if it was fully laser cut.

It is completely true what Mudgey said, cases are made on punching machine and for every different design, special tools needs to be ordered.

I can make a pool and ask what people want and we can actually make them if there is enough orders.

Kind Regards

Had a look on your website.

Good luck you deserve it. Cases are beautiful but just too big for me but when you decide to design a slightly smaller version or a Micro ATX case with water cooling in mind (new fractal cases are so close to being right) count me in for one

If you are willing to ignore water cooling for a moment and work on an HTPC case that actually looks as though it was designed for an AV rack (I think we can for 60-85 mm high) instead of the over sized or under ventilated rubbish currently being sold by major case makers...

Not the best light to make pictures, but you can see it ;)
