Can I ask, what colour did you go for? Looks kinda grey!

It is most definitely grey. If you look through the main Custom Mod Mini thread this case is pictured a few times. I don't recall the exact number on the order form I chose for color ATM though.

That's cool! I just wanted to clarify because I wanted to order white, but thought you might have ordered white and it turned up looking more grey.

about how much space is between the L9i and the outside face of the side panel?
2-3mm?
I'm trying to get clever with heatsinks and trying to figure out my limits if I mod.

I measure about 5mm from the fan to the inside of my panel. I have a batch one and it may have slightly different tolerances than the later revisions. So you probably have 3 mm to play with. Closer to the side panel will up the turbulence and noise many say though. You probably are aware but worth mentioning.

Awesome, thanks!
I was actually thinking of trying to squeeze a 40mm tall top down cooler like the cooljag/ dan's cooler/ and AXP100 by cutting the side Panel a little and squeezing it over. I really love cooling fins than think it would be a cool visual effect if I can make it work.
