This looks like it's made from a single block of copper and it's permanently attached to the rest of the chassis via the heatpipes. Does this mean that the motherboard is slid into the case like a tray in an oven, then it's secured with the screws or is it a "sealed" case that you cannot oped to replace parts?
There are no heat pipes in this design, but yeah the motherboard is slid in like a tray in the oven, you would need to slide it out to get to anything.
I like it. Smart and cost effective. Especially with copper prices in the dumpster nowadays. Too bad the company will still charge two arms and one leg for it.
Good stuff, liking the competition is the small form factor cheap PCs. The point of ~$600 PCs has long been gone. Either these cheap ones for people who want e-mail, FB/YT and Office or a proper 1k for video editing. Of course there are reasonable builds for gaming at every point from $400 to $1.2k

Copper is nice and all, but corrosion from fingers is why most heatsinks are using nickle plated copper these days.Is there any surface treatment being used to prevent that, or is it bare copper?
Also, as with heatsinks of the past... I imagine we will get to see an all copper version.

i got the passive cooled Logic Supply with a i5.. It gets warm but never to hot that i couldnt touch it or hold it.then again, the whole chassis is a heatsink, but it also has a lot of legacy support such as COM Ports, VGA, and LPT1 Serial

bad size comparison picture, I've never seen a cup like that in my life.
