I just really like the idea of CPU / GPU custom loop water cooling that does not need to compromise for a window...!
Kind of a bummer that you are going back to FlexATX (not that it is a bad thing), I was excited because the design up until the change BACK to FlexATX would have allowed me to use this SF600 I have sitting here; and it would have addressed some of the things I did not like about the M1 (no window option without losing the best placement for a radiator& the need for an external reservoir for a full custom loop)...
I REALLY like the idea of having ALL of the WC loop components within the chassis. and if they can be (tastfully) displayed via a window, yet still offer top cooling performance, all the better...!
Is there a chance of this becoming reality at this point?
In my discussions with w360 one thing we realized was that there's a lot of overlap between this concept and the M1, and that it might make more sense to move forward on another project that targets a different niche before we do something like this. It's also important for us to be excited about whatever we're working on, and right now at least for w360 that's one of my other (yet to be revealed) projects.
Don't forget watercooling+window, which the M1 can't do*. That's a big deal for some people.
*Without major sacrifices
I'm waiting for a new power supply towards of end of this year before we move forward on this project.
Based on promising Flex PSU conversations at Computex, we will be updating the SideArmD concept with the Flex PSU in mind.
The original SideArmD concept was suppose to use Flex/1U PSU anyways, so now we can faithfully execute the concept the way it was intended.
ETA on this is next year at best, because Flex PSU will not be ready until then.
Promising as in "Flex PSU" no longer a noisy beast?
Yep.
