Er, can the market really support another one of these? The other recent 1200 case kickstarter barely made it past the finish line. Is this one different enough to attract the necessary funding? I imagine everyone who really wanted a new 1200 case supported the previous campaign. Will they support another, or can enough new backers be found based on new features?

It seems like the page has been taken down as well now. It leads to a dead link.

"Just barely"?

The kickstarter was asking for USD 125,000 and collected USD 31,310 more than that, and reached the stretch goal with good margins. In good time too.

I could support this.
I have several mini itx boards I could put on them.

I don't really get the idea of the one with a removable keyboard.
