Update on Xforma Cases and Orders

Update on Xforma Cases and Orders

Hey guys! I am catching up on orders, allergies got the best of me for about two weeks but I am back to my normal 7-5 job and fulfilling orders for the site as well. I apologize for the delays.

Now for the Xforma MKII cases

So I have finally gotten a chance to go through all the accessories I have and see what I need to fabricate/ source.

NEED TO SOURCE/ FABRICATE

  • 8mm acrylic insert for front panel
  • Defuser strip (This allows the front logo line to light with a soft glow)
  • More side panels (Possibly can get some from Silverstone maybe.....)
  • Case badges, Linus got some of those but I did not other than my original two which are 150/151

IN PROGRESS

  • RGB light for Front panel (Working on having these made by a factory now, still in negotiations) 
  • Luminous Panels both standard white and black versions (Materials have been ordered for these, these have been redesigned to accommodate the need for repair if the LED strip were ever to burn out.)
  • Regular Clear Serpentine Grills, a new smoked acrylic variant, and Limited Lazarus edition grill. 
  • Intake assembly (replaces the function the crossflow fan served) the cross flow fan is no longer available so another solution will be used.
  • The original 480mm radiator mount is completely unavailable and I am working on a replacement. This will not be like the original mount as that would be extremely expensive to have remade as they have high MOQ's to reproduce. 

TESTING

  • A revised RGB version of the floating fan assembly. The original assembly is completely out of stock. I have seen some people selling from their personal stock but for around $300-400 for that one accessory. 
  • New backplate with support. So the flagship cards from Nvidia (3090/4090/5090) all have a height increase which does not fit in the MKII with a side panel on as the MKII has a narrow width compared to other cases. The possible solution to this is to either put the GPU at an angle or upside down. 
  • Adapter plates for cylindrical reservoirs, the initial holders are made for a custom 50mm reservoir offered by EKWB, this is no longer offered seeing if other cylinder reservoirs can be used instead. 

My goal is to have the case ready to build in as this is not an easy case to build in, made even worse if you do not have all the base pieces. Some people have expressed interest in buying the case incomplete. Would people be more interested in maybe like a reserve payment to hold the case for them? I know some people just want to own the case even if a current build is not planned, just so they do not miss the chance to own this legendary case. Comments are enabled for blog post now so feel free to drop your opinion. 

I will be documenting this entire process on the youtube channel. Including the updated components that will be offered for the Xforma MII chassis dubbed "MKIII" (It's really like 2.5 so maybe lli?
