Got to say, seeing those old tempered glas panels (with visible glue) on Optimum Tech's latest review today, hurt my soul. Buut glad to say it's one of those things that have been fixed. This is a good time to point out all improvements since his first video:
Magnetic panels
- You can still place heavy stuff on top, they won't cave in
Improved Tempered Glass Panels
- Snapped in rather than glued on
New case feet
- Just a whole bunch more stable than the previous version
Redesigned GPU lock
- We'll probably add a slot where the hole is, so you don't have to remove the screw completely before installing a new GPU.
No more brittle tape
- IMO, this one is as big as the magnetic panels for me. That metal-against-metal sound of inserting/extracting the core was really painful to hear. We'll add plastic inserts at the corner of the core (the back / front panel) so that this doesn't happen anymore. Also, glad to be rid of that brittle Teflon tape!
We'll most likely improve more stuff before the end of the campaign (and definitely before placing the production order in mid-februari). Let me know what you guys think?
Best,
Alex
