Communication Update! -

forum is no longer a good format, let's move to r/FormD first and SFFN second!

For those that feels this thread is hostile to questions, I feel sorry about the situation. For those that have been answering the same questions over and over, I also feel sorry about the situation. This forum thread is too big and congested to provide useful information for everyone, so let's just move for everyone's sake.



So going forward, we going communicate to Reddit first, SFFN second!

2020-07-30: Three updates!



1. Official Instagram Account

We will email subscirbers once we have a bigger batch coming in

T1V1.0 sold out! (China only due to shipping limitations)

T1 preorder is scheduled to drops every Friday

T1 will be manufactured continuously , so most people that wants one should be able to get one in 2020

We will try and ship to more countries for each weekly drops

T1V1.1 (June 2020 Batch) Updates:

Top & Bottom Panel vents gap changed to 105mm for radiators to mount directly to panel Added 4mm diameter by 3mm deep magnet holes to the sides of the case frame, to better hold mesh panels in place when Top or Bottom Panels are removed during dissembly (magnets cannot be included due to air shipping limitations) Added cutout to SFX bracket for better cable routing when using a 25mm thick fan adjacent to SFX 2.5" Drive Bracket moved up for better cable clearance 2-Slot & 3-Slot GPU Sheetmetal Bracket lowered by 1.5mm for easier mounting Changed Power Button to 19mm Anti-Vandal Switch (from 16mm)

Human malware really suck. Social distancing and working from home is making us lonely and stressed. So please follow us or give us a like on Instagram, we need all the positive energy we can get to keep moving forward.The bad new is that our data suggest demand is still increasing, while our supply hasn't changed, which translates to preorder drama and dissapointment.The good news is that we might have a solution. Our manufacturing limitation is largely due to CNC Machining doesn't scale like typical Sheetmetal cases, and CNC Machine Time Allocation. We have been fighting for more machine time allocation. Some time in September, we will open preorder for a larger batch shipping in October. For people that are tired of the panic of trying to get a T1 and not able to, don't stay up late or let preorders ruin your day, just check in with us September.Some of you are having issues with building the T1 using current T1 Instruction Manual . So @gwertheim and I are working on a build guide this weekend, hopefully something to show next week.In the meantime, here is an animation to help you visualize T1 assembly.The first date will be 2020-07-03 and the shipping date will be 2020-07-24. There are too few T1s for the 2020-07-03 drop (shipping 2020-07-24). So we don't want to email all subscribers just so they can get mad not being able to get one.Two colors will be available: 1) Black + Black Mesh and 2) Black Silver + Black Mesh (aka two tone). No other colors at this time, no *extra accessories, and no ETA on these atm. T1 without Riser and T1 + Riser will both be offered. We don't have quantity estimates, because machine time, quality control and anodizing hard to predict.Shipping prices changes frequently, so just add item to cart to see the exact shipping price. We can *ONLY ship to these countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lebanon, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macao, Malaysia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Russia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States, Uzbekistan, Vietnam.
