That's what I was looking for. Thanks! Shame a full size fan wouldn't fit, adding a few more mm for clearance wouldn't have affected case volume at all and would make this the absolute best case on the market imo.

If you're brave enough to cut out a venting pattern on the front panel... 
To be very fair, those noctua 15mm fans look to perform very well for their size.

No bravery required. Speak to KSliger about side panel pattern venting on the front panel
Yep. $30, solid aluminum, only in black.
The included support frame doubles as a fan mount.
Yeah, I'm running them in my Ncase watercooled build. No issues with them.
There's still better options in 25mm fans though. Especially if I was to go RGB.
If I order my Cerebrus X, I'll be making modifications to the front panel to make it a bit more breathable.
Nothing says premium more than cat sh1t brown fans
I have a mix of noctua 120 and 140 25mm fans in my current, definitely worth the coin.
I spoke to KSliger earlier, he said that extra ventilation on front panel is both possible and likely . He also indicated it would not be much of an upcharge.
I feel like I am talking myself into paying crazy shipping fees.

You betcha, I maxxed that puppy out too
Cerb-X
Red with black top.
Handle
All the PSU mount options.
1x 3.5 & 3x 2.5 drive mounts (overlooked that the base case already has 2x 2.5 mount locations, opps)
Very glad they offered a black top option, I was dangerously close to ordering a second set of panels to achieve that contrast
Bit sad I didn't check the forum first thing today as I might have missed the first batch and for me +2wks is more like +2mths due to travel.
Extra ventilation shouldn't be that big a deal. A drill press or laser cutting service near you would be able to make any ventilation you want a reality.
Extending the front panel out a few more mm would be amazing though. Maybe a revision 2...

Dude, Noctua Chromax. Same great fans without the horrid 70's color.
Kind of a shame to do it after the powder coat. At best the bore of the holes will then be bare ally, at worst chipped or scorched powder coat on front.
Far better to have Sliger laser cut it before coating if possible.
I get what you're saying, but giving up a few mm for this, then a few more for that, and on and on is how things bloat to regular size.
This case is great largely because of the well judged restraint, and not trying to be all things to all people while still offering amazing flexibility.
A deeper front panel, optionally vented, would be a very cool future option to offer although with low volume & premium materials ya gotta be prepared to pay handsomely for such things.
It's great the way the design affords such great options though.

where is the link to buy the handle? I Couldnt find it anywhere
Very good I think. Somewhere in the thread you'll see prototypes with a window. Only in the lower section, upper vents are retained. Not sure if the idea was just deferred or on indefinite hold but if the higher that expected popularity continues I'm sure the bigger audience improves the odds of more options.
Wait a sec please..
Making some vents on front panel is surely doable...however it won’t allow you to put 25mm thick fan on front panel...i tried to put some 25mm and as far as i remembered i was not even able to plug back front panel..
nevermind I found the handles, damnit they cant be purchased separately. I already ordered the white case. Is there a way around this?
