In terms of future-proofing I agree (and today-proofing in terms of HDMI 2.1), but at least DP 1.4 isn't a thing (yet), and IMO it's better to be able to connect your display without tilting your case over, even if you have to run at slightly reduced bit depth or refresh rate (can't DP 1.2 still do 2160p144, at least with DSC?). I would also be surprised if ADT-link didn't have HDMI 2.1 and DP 1.4 compliant cables in the works by now, at least for shorter runs like what is needed here.
I think you confused dp 1.4 and dp 2.0 which is yet to come. Dp 1.4 is quite common and required for dsc, and a lot of monitors require it (g7, g9, all single cable 4k144hz etc).
Ah, damn, you're right about that, I was indeed thinking of 2.0. Makes me wonder if 1.4 doesn't accept more than 2 connectors in the signal path or something, given that it's not exactly new. Even if not that many monitors up until now require it, would it be that difficult for ADT-link to make cables capable of carrying those signals? Seems weird unless there is some technical reason.
Going against the stream here, but I would vote for 240mm. Around this volume is the breaking point for when it's realistic to travel with such a case, and 10.5L is slightly more realistic to pack than 12.2.
I see the value and interest for 280mm support, but with this concept being somewhat late to the vertical case scene, it could really set itself apart from the competition by being the only one in the 10 liter club while still offering a full sized rad. I think both options have their merits, but the idea of being smaller than the competition, and moving forward with 240mm support is more interesting to me personally... BUT only if it's compatible with ALL 240mm rads, and not just a select few.
Here is a CAD drawing how the case will look like with Lian Li default vent pattern on the side panel (like A4-SFX or C4-SFX)
Included angled Display adapter question:
I think it is a problem to include these angled adapters because there are so many configurations for display.
- HDMI, DisplayPort, mini HDMI, mini DisplayPort, USB-C s.o.
- Some customer needs one cable some other two or three and other a combination from the different standards
- Angled adapters are easy to buy and available nearly everywhere
- The case came with different stand offs (default 10mm). With the default the distance between desk surface and gpu io shield is 30mm. I think to include a 35mm stand off so if you forgett to buy angled adapter you can install it and youse your default cable.
I prefer mesh aesthetically, fine mesh looks great on my T1.Here is a CAD drawing how the case will look like with Lian Li default vent pattern on the side panel (like A4-SFX or C4-SFX)

Just an FIY, as I'm much more likely to get the Meshlicious than this anyhow, but 35mm is not a lot at all for standard cables. Most DP cables stick out 40mm or more from the connector, with another 10-15mm for the cable to bend to the side. There are smaller/shorter variants, but those are quite rare. HDMI is more easily found in form factors where the connector housing + cable bend would fit within 35mm, but many of those will also run afoul of that limitation. Most video cables are quite chunky.Here is a CAD drawing how the case will look like with Lian Li default vent pattern on the side panel (like A4-SFX or C4-SFX)

I’m both in favor of mesh aesthetically and functionally. I love my T1’s fine mesh panels, as they are not only uniformly pleasing to the eye, but also act as dust filters without choking the airflow. The traditional Lian Li cutouts are nice, but mesh is taking over for a very good reason.
