That's actually the thread they started before they released the 250D, which is supposed to reflect what the most popular poll options were. I actually don't think the poll was that well thought through; for example, the only two options for size being full size GPU and PSU, or HTPC without full GPU support. Given those two choices, I'd pick the former too. But they completely neglected to include an option for full GPU and compact PSU (either ~140mm ATX or SFX), which can save a ton of space over a full size 180mm+ ATX PSU.Is that the thread they used to determine how the Bulldog should look like? Because it seems strange that nobody likes that case yet they had so many people contribute to it.

Are you addressing us and our case or it's a follow up to the corsair case topic? I'm kind of lost here.There is only one reason why your case could be produced cheap with lasercutting: You have less and big venting holes if your case would have thousend holes like the A4 or M1 your production price would be tribled and more expensive as the cost of one A4 without a riser in production. Furthermore NCT has the advantage that the edges of the parts aren't sharp. So your hands are protected while wirking in the case.
From looking at that my first impression is that it will be full of dust in no time and that anything smaller than those holes will fall into it. Add a dust filter.
Hi guys. Meanwhile you release the case I think I will make a home-made case. I need your opinion. This riser will work with my 970+H81? . Is the longest one I saw with a good price. I will need a flexible riser cable as long as Dondan case
Thanks for the help. I only have PCI-E 2.0 (H81 chipset) then i'll search only 16x cables. I'm afraid the 1x gives me problems (because I have 2.0 not 3.0)
See ya!
Is not a problem if I use my PCI-E 2.0 on a GTX 970 (I have the same performance as PCI-E 3.0)
But most of the riser cables are 1X to 16X. In Pci-E 3.0 gives the same performance the 1x to 16x and the 16x-16x. But I have PCI-E 2.0 and i'm afraid 1x to 16x gives me poor performance. I will pick a 16x-16x of 20-24cm in the end. I have to buy it from Chine, becouse in my country I only see 1X to 16X.
If you think that PCI-e 2.0 with 1X to 16X will have the same performance I will buy it too. I wish to start now, dont wanna wait one month
OMG! You don't understand how long I've been looking for a case like this... Its probably been like 3+ years that I've been searching for such a perfect slim case that I can take to lans/friends place. The overall aesthetics of the case are just sooo damn pleasing to the eyes! I really dig that minimal look and feel without having to add bulk just to make it function right like some other ITX case's when this design works just fine. I want to thank you guys so much on how much time was spent on the project to be real since I'd be ok paying 150-200 for such a great case, and hopefully that shows how happy I am for you guys to be making this prototype and getting it closer to the consumers. Ha-ha sooo how do I get to be on that A list to get it in the first wave?
Glad to hear that. That's essentially why we're doing that smallest possible config. As for the first wave - it'll probably be a small batch of 25 units to test repeatability and send some of them to the media for reviewing.OMG!

Expansion card area is also passively vented so we recommend graphics cards with open air cooler for best cooling performance.
The thing about the RVZ02 is that the GPU has a seperate compartment so the hot air can only go outside, not towards the CPU and HDDs. I don't know whether you've mode something like that, so it could be that blowers perform better in your case.
Oh and there is currently only a single single-slot GPU for gaming on the market, no concerns there.
We've got the same situation with separate compartment for GPU. With this size there's not much you can really do about routing the air from the cpu to the gpu area since the riser, power cables and other parts will block the flow between compartments anyway.
I think you meant the dual slot here, yes?
Most of the cards are dual slot but if you wanted to put inside something like my single slotted GTX 750 or HD7750 it might go really hot without some additional help in pushing hot air outside.
For all other properly cooled cards it should be fine if silverstone went with same thing in RVZ02
Though I do have a question about if my Asus mini GTX 970 will work since I was reading that the PCI power connector may not fit with the PCB sticking out a bit from the top. Kinda not wanting to replace it, but if the power cable needs to be modded in order for it to work then so be it!
Cool just found this PCI connector to make it work with my asus.

Something that I'm wondering about, though: Isn't the C14 connector a bit low down (as seen in picture 4)? Wouldn't it collide with the keep-out area of the mITX standard in that location?
Really like how this case looks. Is there any picture of the internals of the case yet? Any idea of the available colors for the case?
As for case ventilation cut outs, have you looked at for example:
https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Effects-of-Grill-Patterns-on-Fan-Performance-Noise-107/
With fans being real close to such patterns, as with this case, it could be something to think about. I am not sure how many care about this, but I find it interesting.
Because of that extra space that will be above the the GPU think ill be able to fit a 120mm rad?
So does anyone else think an unpainted version actually looks kind of sexy?
It may look like it and with galvanized steel it might be possible to ship some units without a paint if you really want it but there's the thing about edges being a bit sharper without powder coating so we wouldn't want to sell it as a finished product but rather as kit letting you paint the case yourself as you wish.
There's also another thing - the photo's were taken of the unit that wasn't welded. With final version you'll end up with welding spots visible from the outside so that would break the looks of clean steel.
There could be an option to introduce another color like metallic but we would need a lot of orders of the such config.
For single order it would mean additional cost in paint and burden for us if someone would want refund (EU policy for returns without cause) and we were left with a case in custom colour that nobody wants.
The EU does well in terms of buyers protection but I believe that if you have something custom made, ie custom colour, that the right to return without cause is void. Not 100% sure though. I believe that is the case here in the Netherlands at least.
