Competition killed it. So many China clones that not only give you similar design at lower price but also improved on the design.

I feel the can't compete with bigger companies like Cooler Master. With cost rising and an increase in number of very compelling/ competitive products out in the market, it is no surprise they will call it quits. I actually don't think they are selling a lot of their cases in the past due to pricing, but with fairly similar case from the likes of Cooler Master, it likely killed off even more demand for their case.

Ya... Price is on the higher side only cheaper if compared with Ghost S1.
I like the material and built, V6 can detached almost everything until barebone frame.
With the GPU getting bigger and bigger and in demand, it's getting harder to find a right selection that can fits in as compare to newer case.

Well that's where Tecware Fusion (or whatever its OEM name is) comes in

You can even flip it upside down if you want. Add $2 of Daiso rubber feet and it becomes a horizontal desktop too.

It’s not easy to get a low volume case going.

When case designers like necere (ncase) dondan (dan cases) decide to get the factory (Lian Li) to make tooling for a prototype, it’s above 10 grand with the costs. Depending on the designer, they may end up with tooling for multiple prototype revisions (like Dondan) that drive costs. Others just go to production with the flaws/inconveniences.
How much metal stamping that’s needed (the machine hours), CAD software, time, and MOQs in 2000’s all add up to the complexity of getting these products to the market.

That’s also a key reason why Dondan decided to make a commissioned design (Like the A4-H2O optimized to lower machine/labour hours/stamping & cutting) was to lower the operational costs to keep Dan Cases more sustainable.

But the end product will not look as exquisite as the low volume cases they design and buy in 2K’s.
