I have a question... How the unibody stands in terms of temperature?

I love the design for the unibody wrapping around the case but also makes the side exhausts of the case much more restrictive, and as i can see these sides are the only way for the hot air to escape from the chassis.

Thanks!

I just put my order in! Going with a light grey/silver core and dark grey unibody. Super excited to get my hands on the case and build in it. I imagine I'll have all the parts by May or June(wait for the RYZEN R5s) but when I do I'll try to make a video build log as well as some pics and run thermal benchmarks and such. Keep up the great work!

Waiting to see a couple builds before I put my order in. Still thinking about 2 of the C-1's colored like those pictured here with the textured coat.

I think the case is great, and really fills a spot the S3 Mini left behind. I had a design question though. I think aesthetically it looks great with the unibody front. Unfortunately this increases the bulk a tiny bit and covers up the vents on the sides.

With the original case, without the unibody front, Is it possible to have curved corners in the front instead? You could use longer screws on the sides with the pavrum modding cubes to deal with the the front corner curves. This way you get a case that is a bit more sleek and not as sharp to look at.

So i've been thinking about putting an internal power brick inside. Is it possible to request a cutout like this

Sorry if this has been asked before, but can you order a version without the optical drive cut out?

Between vents and unibody is 1cm space, and there's no problem with flow. For now I'm not planning any core modifications - eventually its possible to make front panel on cnc with round break corners.
