Is it actually possible to run those specs with 500 watt?I decided to get a Seasonic 500Watt Gold fully modular PSU. This will probably be useful to those who are looking to run a single GPU setup or dual 1080 + 6700k setup.

So my new friend at LiHeat decided he'll share with me 2 of his pre-production PCIe 3.0 riser cables that they've been working on ! And good news, I didn't have to pay $10,000 for it so the work on the case can continue
Nice, by the way do you think a tempered glass panel with small slits for venting air on the GPU side is possible?
Quite honestly the only concern I have with the case are the temperatures and noise levels. But darn do I love the case concept.
Lapped the Kelvin S24 in preparation for the new build
I can't wait to see the new revision and test.Lapped the Kelvin S24 in preparation for the new build
Nice can't wait to see the new case. Hopefully we can also get some case Temps and sound measurements as soon as you receive it.Project Orthrus V2 is officially now in the queue for production
I had a few small delays with regards to the acrylic side panels and I'm still going to need to find an alternative but the case will start manufacturing this upcoming week (12th December)
I will post up more details shortly
Tom's Hardware posted an article on how they do their testing on graphics cards a few years ago, which included a section on noise testing, http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/graphics-card-benchmarks-charts-review,3154-9.htmlMe too. Can't wait to get my hands on it.
I haven't got an email from Protocase that its being produced just yet (this is at least what happened last time). So I doubt i'll get it in time for Christmas but hopefully around end of December / January.
With regards to temp testing, I've got some really good thermocouples. Just wondering more so, what do I do noise testing with ?
Originally I used the iPhone but I'd rather pick up something a little more "solid" and dedicated for the job.
Also is there a particular distance I should be testing noise at ? 60cm away from the case ? Is there a standard I should be following ? Any tips guys would be greatly appreciated.

How is the center divider attached to the rest of the case? I can see what look like tab and slot connections, but it seems to me that those would easily come loose. Are there fasteners or are they welded/brazed together or something?
So could you give us an update on what you are looking at production-wise, e.g. will you kickstart the whole thing, or what company is signing it (and how serious they are about it), expected production dates, when place into production will there be special cables produced and included (assuming the person buys the other hardware themselves), or will it be a pre-constructed item sold by a company with gear already in it.
I am looking at buying a new computer in January next year and may just but the internals for this and wait to buy the case if possible (meanwhile run it in my regular tower while waiting).
Ahh, that's what I thought, but wasn't sure, thanks! It certainly sounds sturdy.It is a slot tab solution and it is welded in the appropriate points. The case assembles in a way that these parts cannot come undone unless you literally crack the case in half
A little teaser of things to come.... shortly....
What size (dimensions) video cards can the mkII case take?
Exactly like mk.I - 10,5" cards with additional clearance.
Also whats the clearance for watercooling on GPU and CPU?
Yes, Lian Li have had the same dreams (& nightmares) that I have
After the initial inspiration the nightmares that follow are:
- riser cables
- sli cables
I'll be very interested to see how Lian Li have solved these problems
As I mentioned in another forum:
Whilst their case is larger with more storage options, I'm actually hoping this new form factor which has been shared across other cases in the past is more widely adopted.
It only makes sense to do so. We have the technology these days to do it.
Wouldn't it be great if we had "modular" PCIe slots on motherboards as a result of this ?
So we could insert the PCIe connector to the front or the back side of the motherboard as we wish ?
One can only dream
