Top Secret MAINGEAR Chassis Development

[ChrisMorley]

Seen here.

And here.

And here.

These chassis were designed by Nuno Teixeira. You can see more of his work here

I saw them at h forum and they look pretty cool

I like thhe first two (of the sets of 3) on H, the third one just looks like the second but not as snazzy

And uh.... real "Top Secret" Chris :P

[ChrisMorley]

Hehehe, you should have seen how I leaked them this morning - I emailed Wallace the pics along with some "top secret" info - and BCC'd like the entire internet...

[Everett]

I like the top three the most.

The others look like an incubator for an alien baby.

Just kidding, but it is unique how the others do look.

Nice, but where is the X-Cube one...?

[RottynDawg]

Most definitely the one that looks the most like a traditional case The others are nice pieces of art though...they would probably sell on that alone.

I'd probably go for the one in the middle, on the [H] web site. I think it's interesting that none of the two non-traditional cases have obvious cooling vents (OK, the third one has a few vents on the front). I wonder how cooling is handled and how loud they are?

ftw

[Plan1x]

I agree with chronoso, I like the 3rd one.

[dante57]

I like them all but the first and third are my picks

[Killazys]

Yea where's X-Cube

[ChrisMorley]

X-Cube gets brought up at least once a week.

BTW - we are going to be releasing a new F131 chassis - a rebirth and re-envisioning of what you liked about the previous generation.

[golfman560]

Are you guys starting to produce your own case designs or are you just helping out Silverstone with the designs? (Or whoever the cases are from)

We are doing both - there is benefit to both ways. If we improve on the designs of a Lian Li or Silverstone, the non-recurring engineering fees are very minimal, as are the minimum ordering quantities. If we design from the ground up, like the designs up top are - it would be quite an investment.

Yea, but when are you releasing a new X-Cube... lol
