I wanted to update this thread with information regarding intake fan filters. I bought some DEMCiflex fan filters with the idea that I'd use them as the filters on my newer design but when I got them I realized they fit the Salvo 400. The ones I purchased on Amazon can be found here. Images below show them on a black case. Sine the aluminum cases are not magnetic, be sure to buy the filters that come with the adhesive for non-ferric material so you can mount them on the Savlo 400. In case the link ever breaks, these are the standard 2x140mm DEMCiflex fan filters.
Edit: the 2x120mm would fit, but if looking at the vents as in the pictures above, some of the vent holes will be covered on the left and right.

Wow, the sizing on those is perfect. How thick? Could they be mounted on the inside?
They are about 1/8" (3mm) thick including the magnetic sticker. This filter might fit even better. They could be mounted on the inside - I think the magnetic strips would hold it pretty well, the question is if the adhesive would hold.
I did sell the last one, but I have one silver of my own I haven't used that I might be willing to part with. If you're interested, let me know.
I have no definite plans on producing more. I will say that I'm working with the machine shop to create a newer version of my case that will hopefully be less expensive. If it proves fruitful, I will probably start a kickstarter campaign with a goal of at least 500 units. I will be starting a new thread for this updated version in the next month or so.
Sorry it took so long. I just replaced my PSU so I got a chance to get into the case.
My 24pin ATX wires are 28.5 cm and my 8 pin CPU wires are 38.5 cm
@grsychckn you had mentioned getting a new set of power switches, what did you end up with? If you have any extra, I would be interested in buying one off of you.
Below is a picture of the newer buttons. I have a few wired up in case someone needed one so I'd be happy to sell you one for the cost of shipping.
Absolutely. I don't think I have any wired up right now but if you can give me until Thursday, I'll have one shipped out for you for free (because it broke).
That would be great! Thanks so much! I'm just about finished with my build and should have the build log and pictures up next week.
OH is there any way you can make the wires around 12 inches long? I'm thinking about moving the LED controller to the top of the case above the motherboard. Thanks again!
Sure thing, that shouldn't be an issue. I'll send you a solderless RGB inline connector (pic below) and extra wire for the RGBW strip so you can extend it.
Edit/Update: Machine shop has model and drawings to move forward with Salvo 401 prototype #1. Look for new thread soon-ish. I won't start a new thread until I have the prototype in hand. Some new additions: support for 2 single-slot PCIe devices with a bifurcation riser on mITX, 3.5" drive support, embossed/raised features for HDD/SSD mounts, key slots added so only one thumb screw required for stand.
