Way taller than i expected
It is the pump that really adds to the height, I would have loved to use mine in my Ncase but it was way too tall.

@dondan It may still be far too early in the product life cycle, but is there any estimate to the time frame where the first prototype(s) will be delivered? I'd love to see real-world numbers, but I understand we may still be months from that point.
how i fill custom simple Eisbaer loops- with flow wheel mentioned
to be honest though, topping up the Eisbaer LT- silent loops is easy0 but needs to be outside the components, just lay the rad flat on its back- hold the block to the highest points, unscrew the fill port and fill slowly .
if you've ordered the GPX eiswolf without rad - which doesn't come pre-filled but has the DQC- just push the nozzle in the blue connector which allows you to fill it up and un-press
good to see card should be able to hold 2.5 slot cards, hopefully 3 slot designs ? know cooler designs/shrouds have passed first physical design and will stem usual 2 slot and 3 slot design

Unfortunately Alphacool chose to use a thin 25mm rad and (maybe bad pump?), at least according to one review, it struggles to cool an 4.8 GHz 7700k (72c core average). With an added GPU it is going to be the hottest loop of the year.

I was thinking about buying the cheapest 120 model, replace the rad, refill the cooler, get some fans and hope the pump isn’t crap but this is creeping into custom loop territory. That’s why I am interested in custom loops.
But it will be great if you can test this too Dan
That's too bad... Hopefully it's possible to buy only the CPU brick and pump without any radiator, and that it's possible to buy a 30mm radiator.
I don't think it'll make that much of a difference though, it might be more on the pump or that the CPU contact plate doesn't have enough water touching it or something.
Oh well, I think it's fine to just have a normal heatsink for the GPU. I don't think I'll use glass/acrylic window anyway.
Wasn't that suggestion made by somebody else? I don't he ever said that would be an option.
I don't see this out of the realm of possibility as a simple mod. Given the dimensions, I'm sure there are plenty out there who could do it.
They sell the 30mm thick version seperatly:
No but this could be easily done by modding.
In order for this to be a true water cooling case, support for a proper custom loop with reservoir and pump must be made a priority. I know the EK-xres 100 SPC 60 Here: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-xres-100-spc-60-mx-pwm-incl-pump has the dimensions of 67x68x117 mm. In order for this to fit, the case bust me made approximately 1cm taller so that this could fit between the bottom of the power supply and the top of the radiator fans grills, since that space is currently 60mm. I would hate for a case of this caliber to be limited to only using aio coolers without user modification to the case.
I think for this to be a true winner, some space can be sacrificed to allow for true support of custom loops in order to be the best sff water cooler case.
Making the case 1cm taller makes it 10.2L, still smaller than ncase. However with some clever designing, I think the space between the PSU and fan grill can be increased in some way without making the whole case larger.

@dondan: I really love this design (even over the Swedish L..q. case) and would definitely purchase it when available.
The 'just flip it' is just genius for desktop placement (now at least we have a choice), radiator air flow (pull or push) as well as more modern front I/O connections like usb type c.
Will be following this thread closely

Optimum Tech made a great video with a very good discription of all functions of the new case:
yeah, I aint posting that up freely and clearly - luckily im a complete unknown here and pretty much else were bar one site and push the boundaries on what I post up that reaps maximum benefit to a Vendor
great to hear about 2.5 slot - shame 3 cant be pushed as i Know a lot of people like Zotac Amp Extreme cards along with warranty - personally an aorus fan
hopefully though by the looks of coolers having forum over function ... won't be as a huge need for 3 slot coolers like their was for gtx 11080ti
Today I made a short rendering with I/O on top because I still like this design. I think it looks more elegant without the cutouts on the sides. For this test I used only USB3.0 type A and USB3.1 type C on the topside.
I know we already had the discussion, but what do you think?
