The third option, called Bare Bones, in addition to all of the above includes a motherboard Z690 Dark Kingpina special adapter for the video card PowerLink 52uand premium packaging. The cost of this set is $5000.
The company notes that the premium packaging, which is a plastic box, is offered free of charge with this kit. Usually EVGA charges $800 for it.
The high cost of the open EVGA E1 computer case is due to the materials used in it. The frame of the novelty is made of carbon fiber, the same as used for the production of supercars. Thanks to him, the EVGA E1 case turned out to be very light (weight regarding 4.5 kg) and at the same time very durable.
The novelty also looks impressive, in no small part due to the suspended design of the motherboard tray. The picture is completed by analog temperature sensors for the GPU, CPU and the entire system. This block is combined with the connector panel. The latter includes 3.5 mm audio outputs for headphones and a microphone, two USB 3.0 and a USB Type-C connector.
The company notes that those who order the case now will have to wait 3-4 weeks for delivery. What caused the delay, EVGA does not explain. Perhaps, taking into account the cost, the company produces each case to order. The rest of the components are available separately now.
