CaseLabs are going Bankrupt :cussing:

Trumps tariffs have meant prices had to increase by 80% making the cases have basically no profit margin according, to the tweet.

Some orders will be sent out but a big chunk are not going to be done.


Personally I hope someone in Europe can start producing these types of cases, so those who go for a monster watercooled build don't have to rely on the majority of mainstream cases, which are just not cut out for it except the occasional case from Corsair.
 
That's so tragic. I know there are far worse things happening in the world right now in relative terms, but I've been following Caselabs for years and to see them be bullied into submission hurts. There were the first company I noticed in the PC world that did not compromise and made everything themselves. I was mad into music gear at the time (and still am), and finding amazing craftsmanship was easy in that world. There were hundreds of 'homegrown' companies producing awesome instruments without compromises, and they're still thriving. But when I started getting into PC hardware, so much of it was cheap, tacky, and manufactured elsewhere. Caselabs were different. People moan about the high prices, but they are high for a reason.

I'm not gonna get into the politics of it, but there is tragic irony in this news. Moog, one of the most established American-made producers of musical instruments is suffering as well because of this new tariff. If they don't start manufacturing overseas, prices will have to go up by 40% or more. Tragically ironic.
 
Yup, that really is awful. :( Not just because Case Labs made great products, but they're REALLY nice people too. Very sad. You will pry my M8 cube case from my cold dead hands.
 
2080 could be around 12% faster than Titan V according to "leaked" benchmark.

And you need 27% more power than a Titan Xp for what?, exactly? rendering old games and console ports at 500 FPS?

That may sound impressive, but when it comes to RT that is nowhere near enough power. Not when all of the demos you have seen have probably been running on four Volta Quadros.

/sceptical.

This can mean one of two things.

1. The 10 series will drop mahoosively in price.
2. The 20 series will be quite a chunk more expensive, allowing them to keep the 10 series cards at their existing prices.

This is what Rich Swinburne called "left holding the baby".
 
Option 2 for sure. No company with a solid monopoly ever gave customers anything cheap.

TBH Nvidia can charge whatever they like, because they have the used market to be afraid of. That literally sort of means there are $18m worth of cards sold during the mining phase that will now work their way back into circulation. Miners have no interest in gaming, PC tech and etc. Just pure money making.
