Two of the screws for the feet are the wrong thread, That's why they were different colors. Also the one foot wasn't properly threaded. Looks like I going to have to RMA the feet and get a replacement.

Man, these guys have really gotta up their game, especially with these $500+ 'premium' cases. I don't think premium things should have multiple QC issues in one product!

Only the guide rails are from Case-Labs. The other item were made by Mod-One(Which are made up of former Case-Labs employees).

all the spces are on the first page, just put all that stuff into PCPartpicker and see for yourself. my guess is that you cant afford it lol

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

My guess is I'm sure I can't afford it, but I'm curious about how much xD maybe I will do as you say when I will have some time, but If there is a link already I would be glad to have it xD It will save a lot of clicking and searching :D

It's not the first time, few years ago same thing happened, Kind of. The USB 3.0 hub for the front was broken. I think that was more the fault of Silverstone then Case-Labs. Since Case-Labs uses SilverStone front panel 3.0 module.

 

About 80% of Case-Lab production team are brand new, atlease from what I was told. I expect theirs going to be some errors (specially with my other and all the parts I ordered). I got a wrong piece for my one pedestal a few months back. Good advantage for that mistake I got two free case pieces for my SM8. If theirs any kind of scratches I can use use the extra pieces they sent me by mistake.

 

--------

 

No, Since allot of the parts are not even listed on the site. It would take to much time to manually enter each one. Plus some parts are from my old build (Mainly the 6TB Green harddrives).

Not sure when I should start doing my PSU cables yet. I do need to look into the Sata Power connectors I have, To see if they will allow double wire inputs.

This thing is absolutely insane...

But why not have a network server as your storage and just keep a couple SSD's in the tower to save space?

Raid is unsafe to keep my Data. Plus I would have to buy new harddrives. Most of these drives I had for awhile. Green drives are a giant NO for raid and NAS.

Even just a ZFS SSD storage? Id say having all your data in a cabinet in a backroom is fairly secure.

Plus id rather mess around with enterprise gear than deal with terrible consumer products.

So what exactly is this? You've probably already explained, but is it a controller for all the pumps/fans?

I was able to do one radiator today with Mayhems Blitz. The 560 radiator basically ate the entire bottle of Blitz Part 1, Going to need allot more Blitz to do the rest of my radiators. SR-2 560 holds almost 1 liter of liquid.

Still waiting on Aquacomputer to ship my order. I get a different reason why table top unit is being delayed each time.

 

Example of some of the replies I got:

 

First E-Mail: They were having problems getting the parts.
Second E-Mail: They were having problems getting the vision unit into the actual table top mount.
Third E-Mail: They need to update the firmware for the buttons, However that firmware has been put on pause for other products firmware.
