And now we have a fan for dual 280 rad builds:

P14 Slim PWM PST | 140 mm Low-Profile PWM-Lüfter mit Kabelsplitter | ARCTIC
Schmal, aber stark: Der platzsparende P14 Slim PWM PST. Ideal für den Einsatz in kompakten Gehäusen mit einer Einbautiefe von nur 16 mm | Kostenlose Lieferung in DE | Schnelle Abwicklung und Versand | ARCTIC Store

Oh finally, a thin 140mm fan with 140mm mounting holes, why was this so hard lol
Here are more pictures with a 280 AIO and a RTX 3080 FE.
Here are some first impression with the case that i like to share:
The internal steel frame:
- very stiff and feels premium
- If I compare to the old sample - no parts feels flimsy or wobbly
Internal Paint:
- very robus, very hard to make permanent marks
- You will only get marks if you going crazy with the screws
- if I compare to the A4-SFX maybe the best upgrade
Outer Panels:
- the glass bead blasted surface looks very premium
- the surface looks matt and not glossy - different to the A4-H2O
- the side panel has so much holes and the new clips are very strong so it feels a bit flimsy if you pull them. I can live with this.
Features:
- the removeable bottom plate save the day in so many situations
- Anti sag bracket workes as expected - straight GPUs are so NICE
- Founders Edition air tunnel: Is like a scale - you will reduce 2°C on one component and add 2°C to the other (CPU vs. GPU). The main advantage is keeping hot air away from the PSU.
PS: D12L does fit in dual fan configuration. More insight in my next post.

So excited for this case. I thought I was gonna have to find a second production run Winter One case to do a dual HW Labs radiator setup.
@dondan
Will you be releasing this as an STP?
The front panel looks shifted up? I see a lip at the top (that looks intentional) but the bottom also doesnt line up, could that be shifted down slightly to line up at the bottom?
and - is the psu bracket reversible still? Pic 4/5 seem to not match up on the right side mounting
Cant wait to get my hands on it. Looks very versatile, 2 slot blower with a 3rd slot nic should be possible. With some printed brackets may try an apu file server in this as well.

With VLP RAM you can fit D12L with dual fans. Currently testing all configurations with the D12L and also this one works very well. Maybe I should think about window kit 
LPX is LP Ram VLP is nearly half the height 19mm vs 32mm
Hey Dan what ram and processor was used for this build? Also any comments on temps using single cpu fan vs dual and the vlp?
There will be no STP - sry.
This is a problem with push pin . All panels will sag a bit even this case use center pins top reduce this problem. If the center pins are not 100% on the correct position 0.5mm shiftet and there it is. You see a 0.5mm diff from side to front. This is on my list, but maybe we have to live with it.
The clips on the frontpanel is not part of the inner chassis it is a metal plate screwd to the front. I can make this adjustable so you can offset it up to 0.75mm to tune the alignments if the factory was unable to do it.
Yes the psu bracket is reversible.
There is no pictures series with 4/5 can you quote it?
Yes this is the value. For better results i think it need a sealing like a ribber seal strip.
AMD 3900x 12c/24T with 2x Crucial CT16G4VFS424A DDR4-2400 VLP RAM. Temp results will shown in the next days.
