Would it be unrealistic to hope for some kind of optional top-hat/cover for the Velka 5 which helps hide away the cables sticking out the top? It would add to total volume of the case but it would make the build look so much cleaner and should be quite easy to make and mount/dismount. It could...

The SV540 concept is easily my favourite case design in a long time if not ever. Some questions: 1. will the SV540 be flippable, too? I disliked how the Phanteks Shift handled things with the cables coming out the top and having to be routed to the bottom 2. is there room currently for 2x120mm...

@CHRVM2YD Optimum Tech comments on the quality of the acrylic side panel in his review of the SM550/560. From what I gather it's far ahead of the typical acrylic side panels we've known in the past.

Any chance we might be able to purchase a 550 or 560 without the front IO, too? Also what’s the timeline on able to order custom colours?

I totally get where you're coming from. I didn't think much of it because @KSliger made it clear that he had no intention of doing anything that would upset Noctua.

Noctua got back to me again, this time in regards to their stand on other brands making use of their iconic colour scheme. 1. Their brown/beige colour scheme is trademarked in order to prevent others from using them to sell cheap products or knock-offs 2. As long as the products offered aren't...

I‘d argue that you simply produce whatever colour scheme your customer ordered. As long as you don‘t actively advertise the design... You‘ll be getting a lot of orders which will make cases blend with colour schemes originally designed by other companies (Nvidia and AMD, just to name two). A...

Nice work! Would you mind sharing your template? No matter what state it might be in ;)

I don't mean to hate on Noctua - they make the best fans around. And I do understand the value of setting yourself apart from the competition which is exactly what they have done - few fans are that recognizable. As of now I'm glad that they have their Redux line-up but with the possibility of...

Noctua got back to me - what a fast bunch! They use the Pantone Matching System for their colors. Here's what they translate to when you use e-paint.co.uk. Color Name/Model Pantone Code (Closest ) RAL Classic Code Standard Models Fan 483C 3009 (Click for comparison) Frame...

I just did some rough testing using Chrome's color picker on a Noctua product photo - by no means a perfect method but since there's only a limited number of options it's probably close enough. rgb.to/hex can show you the nearest RAL colour for any given HEX code which is quite helpful. RAL...

Good question, I just contacted Noctua since I too would like to know. Imagine choosing a colour for your main line of products which is so incompatible with anything else your customers might use that they have to order custom parts in order to make things look nice ? If I had one of the...

Here you go. You'll even be able to add custom artwork and logos to the case. There was a news article on here a few weeks ago (scroll to the end).

Thank you for clearing that up. I was thinking about something along the lines of the Phanteks Shift. Perhaps as an optional add-on. Personally I‘d love to flip it so the IO is at the bottom with the cables coming out the back through a relatively small opening. Just my 2 cents :)

Very interested in the VK-5, just one question: Will the IO just stick out at the top or will there be some kind of cover to keep the optics clean?
