I voted ITX and air. I'm fine if it also supports mATX though. Mostly concerned that it doesn't get wider, esp because there are now multiple cases in that 180-190mm width
The C4 (and theoretically the Evo M1 v2) were right in that 167mm or so width, just allowing an NH-D12L to fit in. The R1 is about 20mm wider, so it's not really in the same category.

2) Is the top panel walnut the same coloring as the walnut stand?
3) If I have a small kid around...
The dark rock tf problems aren’t with the height but with the motherboard. Top down coolers can have issues with clearance over some motherboard components, and depending on the location of the socket, might overhang the board.
