You make some great points! To give you a little more insight into how this is designed to work for you:
First this includes support, it means if you need to make adjustment as such, there’s a channel to get help and make on going improvements you needed. For personal use, no need a reseller and you can source replacement part - at least it’s long term supported, reproducible with no hard dependency on anyone.
The screws are intentionally small because they are meant strictly for internal assembly, some screws are also functional too (actual being a functional part..), keeping the exterior clean and sleek.
The main components are a one-time investment. Because the system is fully modular, any future customizations or part replacements will likely only cost around 10 or nearly free. If you have a 3D printer, it lists out which part can be printed or has to be ordered. In fact, I just ordered another set have to be made by ordering that only cost $15 including shipping…
It is also not just a back cover, it has also has 3 cell batteries that works with the existing NVMe kit you have; max 10 antenna mounting points; active cooling; slim profile and camera integrations on in one slim kit, same size as your current standard plate.
It does not mean you have to have all parts installed at start. There’s a steady upgrade path.
The guide has a special link to order CNC parts, they are way cheaper than other options, plus with a premium finish too.
I am also bundling a new upgrade option right into the package that cuts the cost in half. It is highly optimized for price, so while it steps back on a few premium features, it’s a fantastic cost-effective choice. (Working on it at the moment, all buyers will receive the update when new modules are added)
Most importantly, this features a low-profile design that integrates perfectly with your existing kits. It completely saves you the frustration, and the extra expense, of buying mismatched parts that don’t work together.
Or worse, you ended up in an experiment project paying v1, v2, v3 and they all ended up in a junk.
It’s not a half complete project, it is a complete and ready to use solution.
