Received my unpainted modmini yesterday. batch 8..
The OG hex vent pattern is still my favorite. Looks really nice unpainted actually. Maybe a polish and clearcoat?!Received my unpainted modmini yesterday. batch 8..

Looking foreword to seeing the build.
What batch are you in?Ssd 2.5 won't allign to holes, ended up using double sided tape.
Need to cut this portion to fit my ssd.
I hate to say I agree with you but I do.Pardon my bluntness, but this is getting a little ridiculous. People are routinely receiving their cases with major defects, I/O shields don't fit, graphics cards don't fit, now SSDs don't fit... I mean any of those is solid grounds for RMA, but of course there is no warranty. I understand this is a one-man project, so a defect here and there is understandable, but people are receiving their cases essentially unusable.
I get that everyone who orders a case is something of a beta tester and that's understood, but at the same time I think it's a reasonable expectation to receive something that is not garbage for $300. By this batch the manufacturing details should have been ironed out. With only 7-8 cases per batch and manufacturing tolerances so inconsistent, every case should be tested by putting in a motherboard + I/O shield, a Gigabyte 1080 Mini, an MSI Aero 1070 ITX, and an SSD and making sure everything fits and all the holes line up before it's sent out. That is super baseline QC. I don't think it's asking for much.
This case is a unique product, and I really wanna be excited for it, but it's really hard to recommend with these issues. The reason I haven't bought one is because of the negative reports. And I'm sure a lot of other people silently feel the same way. This case could be selling triple digits per batch if it was manufactured well.
Sorry for the rant.

Archdemon: To be honest, that was the worst part of the install. Why you might ask? Have a look at my motherboard here. You'll notice that the 24 pin connector is at the top left. But when you install it in the case, you have to put the m/b upside down. So the 24 pin is now bottom left. It would be a problem is it wasn't for the fack that the cables coming out of the archdemon is also pointing down. And since there's next to no space between the m/b and the bottom of the case, there's very little clearance left between the archdemon and the bottom. I had to slowly push it down, hoping I wouldn't brake the solders.
This is the exact reason why I don't recommend this case anymore. You'd think after 8 batches, most if not all of the issues have been resolved considering everyone who got their cases are posting their feedback on this forum.Pardon my bluntness, but this is getting a little ridiculous.

You'd actually see the creator saying they're trying to improve with each revision. But don't get your hopes too high because even after batch 8, issues are still there. I actually regret buying mine.Damn.. Now i regret paying the 330$ to buy this case.. Im in batch 9 and if after 8 batches and still this, makes me really worried...
