I chose the original model he displayed too - with the same colors and everything. Black with a white unibody, but that unibody is the fine grain and looks great.

See I wanted to go with the original, but I had to try something out since I'm so used to black cases, so I got the inner case as a Pastel Blue in the matte texture, and I'm pretty excited to see how it comes out :)

Does anyone have experience with pcie 3.0 riser cables and unpowered graphics cards (like GTX 1050Ti)? Would there be any power delivery issues? Can the full 75W from the pcie slot be delivered to the card? Does it matter what kind of riser cable is used?

This will be the best solution - most of flexible risers have 2-2,5A - 25-30W. - can delive 75w, but how long? ;)

Probably better to ask - what risers have you found in your testing or reading that can reliably handle 75w? That is an interesting question that I never really considered. Do the expensive 3M and Lian Li ones successfully manage this? I know the HDPlex riser has been seen to do it, but it is not in stock in Europe at the moment.

The hdplex riser is, however only 15 cm long. For the Catz C-1 you need at least 25 cm. I will order the Lian Li riser and test myself. There seems to be a lack of testing in regard to this issue. The 3M riser is used in the DAN-A4 and I didn't see anyone saying you must use a card with additional power connectors.
We'll see.. I'll give an update when my parts arrive.

Hello @amitoza - tomorrow will be the one month mark since payment made, just curious on how its going. Think they will be shipped out soon? Expecting more delays?

Thanks again! Other cases are also looking good!
