Well, based on voting up to this morning, I have drawn a conclusion and direction for the top plate attachment onto a Loft. 45 votes cast over the last 3 days and 76% went for the standard screw attachment, so the direction is clear. To attach a top plate to a Loft, the same screws will be used as for the basic case top plate and cover. No friction clips.
Man I am glad that there was strong majority feedback, as it makes meeting customer preferences that much easier.
So to add a top plate to a case, the 4 screws and top plate are removed from the case, the Loft is installed, then the top plate is put back on (using the same 4 screws).

Hi Vitor,
We are about halfway to the target. --But I'm hoping that the review coming up soon will increase the exposure and put us over the top!
The CPU cooler envelope is 68mm for the MI-6, but a cooler height of 65mm is recommended. The Raijintek Pallas is 68mm tall with a top-mounted 140mm fan and seems to perform only slightly worse than the Noctua NH-L12 with both fans and a little better than the NH-L12 with only the bottom 92mm fan.
Has anyone tried one of these in the MI-6? I know that it will make more noise to have the fan so close to the case cover, but the 140mm fan (1400 RPM max) should help with the noise, right?

Well it doesn't look like anyone has the Pallas, based on lack of responses. There would likely be some noise, being that close to the cover vents.
Thanks. I guess I'll find out first-hand when I get the AM4 bracket (which may take a couple of weeks). I tried my Cryorig C7 on the Ryzen 7 1800X, and it couldn't keep it from throttling.
Ok, here is the latest on the MI-6 Second Batch Production Status. I put it in today's CCD newsletter.
Ordering and payments are still available for the this batch until October 10th.
There have been some additional orders and a few cancellations since the last newsletter. We are at about 45 cases ordered now. Not yet at the 100 case target.
Since we are approaching the October 10th closing date for ordering, there are a couple of options I am analyzing:
1) Run a batch size smaller than 100 cases. I will be contacting my sheet metal shop this week to have him quote me the cost for a smaller case run. This might be a solution unless the cost rises significantly.
2) Extend the ordering window past October 10th. Currently if there are less than 100 case orders when 45 days have elapsed since the ordering kickoff, production will be cancelled and payments refunded (October 10). This could be changed so that the ordering window would be extended instead of closed. This would push out the delivery date to Christmas or after. With growing publicity about the case, this might also be a good solution.
I'll have more information in a week.

Made a render showing how easy it is to build in the MI-6. -- Couldn't include the cabling, but that's trivial, right? lol
