I can always use a Silverstone USB 3.0 adapter to externally turn the PC on. Definitely, there are workarounds but I want to see what @sergiiua has to say about it. His photos of the prototype show the view from side or front and it's a reasonable assumption a thing as basic as a power button would be included AND would have a cutout for it to be placed. I mean cmon!
So you bought a cheaper case not the standard one on full price? It must be a prototype, In this case @sergiiua is not to blame!
It was the full price for a Stainless Steel body. One with aluminum is pricier but with steel it's much cheaper. I did pay what would be the full price for a production SS case.
i've been trying to reach sergiiua, to give him the benefit of the doubt, & to make things right.
however- i feel like i must mention that i made a recent order, which took almost 3 months to get, where all my cases were mis-measured.
i can't use them due to these mis-measurements.
i'll withdraw these comments, if sergiiua makes it right, but i had to tell the truth.

4 out of 4 are mis-measured.
usually my practice is to ask sergiiua to give me a photo, where he shows them with a ruler, so i can see the measurements are right, before shipping is finished.
he used to do that before, with no problem.
however- recently i've noticed that when i ask for this photo, with a ruler, sergiiua keeps saying they're already shipped.
as i said before, i'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, & withdraw my comments, but i am telling the truth.
I don't wanna go so far as accuse @sergiiua of selling us false promises but mismeasurements sound like mistakes on ESI Metals side. Custom Mod's QC when approves such mismeasurements, that's when things get crooked. Forgetting to ship a power button is understandable but entirely missing a cutout is either a design flaw or the guys cutting the metal forgetting to cut it.
All I'm hoping is the parts actually fit in this case.

your point makes absolute perfect sense, & i completely agree with you.
it would be ESI Metals' fault.
the issue here is that sergiiua isn't even admitting that they're mis-measured.
he has to admit that first, before responsibility can be placed.
the first step in solving a problem, is admitting that a problem exists.

Are you going to respond publicly to some of the stuff that's been said? Seems like you're trying to avoid the issue while still pushing new designs.
I may be new here (long-time lurker however), but I feel as if some more accountability needs to be placed. As someone that runs a business myself, this seems pretty sketch.
I literally found this yesterday and was wishing there was a taller cpu cooler with short gpu case. Probably gonna buy the new model tho i literally just spent my money on a gpu. Probably gives enough time to sort out the potential production problems people have mentioned (post pics)
normally, i would just mind my own business, but SFF Forum is a community.
as discussed before, i made several orders from sergiiua, in completely different months, which are supposed to have completely different tracking numbers.
some orders were mis-measured, & one order was never shipped.

When starting this business I knew that there are risks and bad people. This does not surprise me. I never use deceit. Always the only truth!
It should be possible to make a 4L case that fits the Gigabyte/MSI mini cards, FlexATX, and the L9i. I feel like CustomMOD cases are slowly getting larger and larger.
