Hey @KSliger, got any teases for the window panel while you are at it?
My case is not currently fit for public consumption, sadly (got it up and running in ~70% of it's final configuration while I wait for the arrival of a shorter gpu waterblock for my 1080 ftw)
Can't show a picture yet, but here's how it will look on empty shell
Is there the half-window with vents? o_o
I second this question - I'd really like a windowed side panel, but not if I have to sacrifice performance for it...
i meant like is that still an option, LOL. don't need a photo or render ._. sorry if it wasn't clear earlier ,_,
Had to give up on fastener hardware and go with 3M VHB, original James style window:
But that got me thinking since I can't see cable clutter up top the cable clutter at bottom front is gonna drive me nuts...
So cover it with SSDs!
Plenty of room for power cables without the visible mess.
Thoughts on this window and bracket?
OPEN UP PREORDERS SO I CAN GIVE YOU MY MONEY ALREADY D:<
(I kid, but seriously tho :c )
(also yeah window-mounted SSDs for "shroud covers" is kinda neat. could mod it to be "quick-swapped" with those SATA + Power combination adapters)

the smaller corner radius is fine. (sharp corners would not be.) the bracket is a cool idea, as long as it's optional, or not visible when not in use. if it's visible through the window when using one or zero 2.5" drives, it'd be worse than no bracket.

I just received my Celebrus and I'm very happy with it.
Do you have any plans to let users make custom orders / mods of the Celebrus KIC10U? For example, I'd like to move the usb ports from the top panel to the front panel. The KIC10U is the perfect size to put on a industrial shelf or workbench. However, the vertical orientation of the usb ports can be awkward if not impossible when there is a second shelf above the case.
It would be great if you could offer a version that has the USB ports on the front panel.
If you don't have plans to offer one, will you allow users to order custom modifications? A quick and easy modification in this case could be:
1. Don't cut the USB ports on the top panel.
2. Make a rectangular cut-out to the front of the case frame. This would allow the usb cables to pass through.
3. Make the usual USB cuts outs on the front panel. (4 usb cut outs for me please)
Naturally, this change would be a hack and would prevent the front panel from being removed,
but it would be good enough for my needs. All of these changes would in no way alter the dimensions
of the case, so assembling it would be the same.
Thanks,
Stephen

If your custom solution doesn't pan out, another option for front(ish) USB might be to have the ports accessible from the air cutouts on the sides of the front panel by attaching them horizontally to the front mounting vents. I think there'd be plenty of space for 4 ports on either side, or two on each side to maintain symmetry.

My opinion is that this one with window and vents is the best choice, especially if for example someone is using rear mounted PSU like me, I would happily pay for one,even if it is expensive.
Please make it happen Sliger, would be amazing.

I asked this version long time ago, and the answer that it was too expensive to build..
How long does it take them to ship orders? Im just curious how long they would tske cuz I had no info about shipping i ordered on feb 10.. also will a h110i gtx fit with 200mm psu? Kinda worried with the tubing being too thick and not fit between the psu and ihs..
