    Vanguard Construction

    Hi Firewire folks,

    I've been eyeing the new Vanguard, and noticed that it only comes in Rapidfire construction. Just wondering if there is a future chance that it will be available in some of your other constructions, i.e. FST, Crossfire, etc. I'd be way more likely to pull the trigger on buying this board if it came in a more durable build. Thanks!

    Looks like they have been building an FST prototype but it will be a long way out before they are actually available.
    Sounds like the White Rapidfire goes real well though!

    I think the difficulty is with the FST skin, trying to get the sharp edge for the channels.

    I spoke to Mark about that earlier in the year when I saw the prototype. They had already figured how to deal with the bottom skin and channels then, but its possible they've figured out a new way now.
