Thank you! To be honest, this is my first hardline build and while I agree it is certainly more work I absolutely love the aesthetics. And especially in small cases there is peace of mind that a tight bend won't kink.
Good point about the DP plate, I'm only using a single monitor so never...
Happy to report that I finally managed to wrap up my dual rad build, here are a few pictures and some more info in a build log 🎉

A brief documentation of my Meshlicious build in case anyone is curious how a custom dual rad loop might be done in this case.
Why a second radiator, isn’t this unnecessary? Maybe, but otherwise it just seemed like an awful waste of space in this beautiful case. 😉

Proper cable...
Hi bloodyshogun, my bracket was lasercut from stainless steel and I used a tap to add M3 threads to the holes in the bracket. With a generic countersink bit I widened the holes I drilled in the struts of the case until the screws I had sit flush. I was using some short countersunk M3 screws I...
I'm also using an ADT-Link DisplayPort Extension (P4T P2 https://aliexpress.com/item/4000308855899.html ) and drafted a bracket for the cable pass-through. Haven't yet printed and verified if it fits, idea is to clip it in from the outside. Maybe it helps: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4897607
I'm still working on a dual rad setup, just don't find the time to finish it. Here is a work in progress pic from the GPU side with the 240 rad fitted using a custom laser cut bracket.
For radiators I'm using an Alphacool NexXxoS ST30 Full Copper V2 280mm + 2 x Noctua NF-A14 PWM chromax (black)...
I cut one of the GPU mounting rods in half, the thread goes through and they can be used on both sides.
The pump is an Alphacool Laing DDC310 with EK-XTOP DDC. I haven't yet finished this build so I can't say much about the final noise in the Meshi but in my previous build the pump was...
With the GPU in the highest position and a bit of modding a DDC fits there. Barely but fits. There is even some space below for dampening foam to decouple the pump.
In case anyone wants to add an additional 240 mm radiator, I have uploaded a first version of a mounting bracket for the GPU side to thingiverse. Disclaimer: Have not yet laser cut it myself, just tried it with a cutout but it worked great.

Same, and payed a damn premium for that.
In case anyone wonders, an Alphacool NexXxoS ST30 Full Copper 280mm Radiator V.2 fits perfectly in the front 👍
Awesome project, I hope you can make the pump fit next to the PSU that seems really tight. Isn't cablemod.com offering custom non sleeved flexible cables with low profile connectors?
Using 4 slot here, that gains about 2 cm versus 3 slot. Is there even a slim enough rad that could fit including fans in 3 slot mode?
Tried the pump above the PSU but no luck (at least in 4 slot mode). But might work with another pump like the DC-LT (like here).
Hey Wahaha360, thank you for making this case! Loved the T1 already and can't wait to have this one in my hands.
Any chance you could offer a 3D model (eg. .stp) or some drawings with dimensions of the case? I'm trying to plan a dual rad custom loop and so far made a crude drawing based on what...
