Before the prototype campaign they didnt have any real time frame. Now it is tentatively August. The question before was would there be enough interest to get to units. They obviously don't have to worry about getting enough units to get the cost down to under $200. They just have to hope everything goes smoothly. But yeah The only person thats going to get a case anytime soon is the person who ponied up $2000 for the prototype.
I am okay with August/Fall. Because I am going to do a haswell build and by that time there should be some decent Z87 mitx motherboard options availible.

I agree also that seeing something within 6 months is highly unlikely. Unit the prototype is released, I don't see this as anything more than charity.

good news is they've already ordered the first prototype!
"Hey everyone! We’re pleased to announce that we’ve ordered the first prototype from Lian Li! And thanks to the generous support from all of our backers, we’ve also gone ahead and paid for the tooling for the front I/O module, which otherwise would have to wait until production"
you can find the comment on their indiegogo page

The case could be smaller. Its trying to do too much. Get rid of the optical drive, RAD, and ATX PSU. I was very interested in this case as well, but I ended up building an FT 03 mini

The optical drive isnt taking up space. Originally it was a SSD mount. Now its slim odd or ssd.
The case wasn't about making something as small as possible. It was about making something like the Sugo 05, but slightly bigger to allow for more customization and water cooling.
Getting smaller than the Sugo 05 requires usage of riser cards and much more engineering to make sure everything will fit together while having adequate cooling.
Oh I currently have a Sugo 08, which is slightly bigger than this case but doesn't have as much usable space. The Sugo 08 is relatively tiny(especially compared to those mitx towers like the ft03 mini and the gargantuan prodigy). This case is smaller than that, it could be smaller, but you wouldnt be fitting as much stuff if it were.

The footprint is smaller though. That and the M1 wasn't available yet.

i see. if you are still looking in the future you might consider the M3A2. the guy working on producing themmentioned he could possibly do a 'mini' version upon request. here are some mock-ups of the other two smaller variations http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=...&postcount=231

I am very interested in the smaller versions. Will they be quiet and cool? I am assuming the tiny one will be for an Intel NUC type of mainboard?

All of the models, standard through ultra-mini, are designed for the mini-ITX form factor.
Even the smallest version is large enough to hold two entire NUCs double-stacked with ample room to spare.

Thanks. I get it now. That is good as there are some great mini-ITX boards.
