Temperatures tend to be a little lower when used in the vertical orientation. It tends to only be a couple degrees of a difference though if I remember correctly.

Long story short, the biggest differences (in my opinion) are larger ventilation areas and less screws required for assembly. Page 1 of the 2.0 thread has the list of 26 changes to the case ranging from minor to major differences. If you have a 2080 you would benefit from the larger ventilation...

I think that's a matter of opinion. Sentry 2.0 is better than Sentry 1.1 in every way except that 2.0 doesn't support SFX-L since it has better water cooling support. I wouldn't say that 1.1 is a bad case though. I still have my 1.1 case and plan on using it for a backup PC. I still think it's a...

Linus has another video featuring the Sentry 2.0 (it's the one that's hinted at in SaperPL's post above). It's nothing really new, but it's just nice that this case is still getting coverage. It also has a chance to win the PC, but that's obviously highly unlikely.

I'm not saying it's not a smart move. I'm just curious what changed to have 500 cases be the goal. Some previous calculation must have been done to arrive at the original 1000 case goal.

I noticed that the funding requirement was cut in half. What changed for you to cut the requirement so much? What was the logic behind needing 1,000 cases and now only 500? Sorry if it seems like I'm being overly critical; It just caught me off guard when I refreshed the page and we jumped to...

Paul's Hardware has another video featuring the Sentry 2.0. It's not really focused on the case other than that he's building a system in each of the two colors. I just wanted to point it out since it has some more footage of the gray color. It doesn't have any benchmarks or anything in it; just...

Everyone get on the HYPE train. It's happening!

Yeah, I hadn't watched the video yet when I posted it. It does make me wonder why he thought using air from inside the case was the better orientation. I imagine he just didn't think about it. I'm also hoping for some more tests with an AIO to see some comparisons with the test you did and Paul's.

It looks like Paul did test his Sentry 2.0 with water cooling. I was getting worried that we wouldn't have anyone do a test with an AIO.

I hope he does too. At the very least you have some videos on youtube with liquid cooling benchmarks which is good.

It's too bad he didn't give any bechmarks for the AIO cooler in the Sentry. It seems like everyone is using a C7 for their build.

http://zaber.com.pl/sentry/ has a countdown for when they plan to start the crowd funding campaign. The timer ends on April 1st at 18:00 CET

The case reviews keep rolling in:

It was the most noticeable at idle since my fans were spinning identically between the two cases. Less GPU/CPU heavy games tended to have a slightly less temperature improvement but the fans were also spinning slightly slower. Games that had my gpu at 100% saw no temperature or fan difference...
