Thanks! Was mainly wondering after I saw the Optimum Tech review of the H2O, but now that you mention it, the second USB Connector on the B660-I and Z690-I is an old 19 pin connector (and while I personally would find 1 USB-C + 1 USB-A port on the front useful, it would probably compromise the clean look of the case).

Nice! Just one suggestion if I may: would it be possible for the 240 rad slot holes to be moved such that they share the top ones with the 280 slots, this way a 240 rad would sit as high up on the bracket as possible. As it is currently I think the top of a 240 rad would be close to being level with the pump block so might cause air to settle in the pump block.
Main differences being: C4 is larger, no riser needed (classic/traditional layout), up to 280mm rad support or more air cooler support.
C4-SFX POWER WEEK - last chance to add changes
Here is the current drawing of the C4-SFX.
You will have one week giving me fire. In this week you can tell me what you are missing what is bad or great and needs to be changed or should be kept. There will be no poll just exchange here in the forum. I will think about your suggestions and decide by myself to add or drop them.
After that week the CAD work is done and I will rest it for another week. Making rederings think about it from all angles and then i will send them to LianLi and start with the manual.
Final specs:
Case Dimensions (H x W x D): 241 x 166 x 329mm, 13.15L
Overall Dimensions: 261 x 166 x 332 (including case feets)
Weight: ~1,7 Kg
Graphic cards support: 3 Slot GPU up to 320mm length and 145mm in height including power connectors (Yes the STRIX will fit)
Motherboard support: Mini-ITX, DTX, deep ITX
Power Supply support: SFX, SFX-L
CPU Heatsink support: Up to 145mm in height.
Water cooling support: up to 280mm radiator with 140x140x25mm fans
Watercooling
Max configuration: 320x140x45 + 140x140x25 fans
Max Pump height: 80mm
Drives: up to 2 x 2.5" HDD/SSD
Now please let me know what you think.

Will there be a logo on the front?
Dont really like the feet going all the way around.

Agree with Fifty, the feet make the case look like a millipede. Is there a reason why the feet were redesigned? I presume this is a more complicated and more expensive compared to the previous design.
This looks really great. Is there any possibility of modifying it to be able to accommodate 35mm thick fans on an AIO cooler? Is the quoted "Ghetto Mod" where you put a 280 rad on top, and if so would the GPU need to be part of the loop? Also, would the best fan configuration on an AIO radiator be exhausting out the case, and if so is there a good way to cut off airflow from the GPU to the rest of the case so that the AIO rad only gets cool air from the bottom? Really awesome case!
No logo at the front.
Custom 3d printable feets will be available on my website. Example: https://abload.de/img/feet1cjx5.jpg

If you use a 30mm thick AIO heatsink you can use 35mm thick fans
No the Ghetto Mod is deshrouding the GPU (remove the fans) and use your own 140mm or 120mm ones on it.Looks great! I like the design, including the feet. I like the compatibility. Print it.
Including the GPU PCB and Backplate 65mm without 62mm.
Example:
Cryorig XT140 = 13mm
GTS 280 = 30mm
Waterblock could be 19mm if you angle the card in the slot maybe up to 22-24mm.
For a bigger gap you need a 20mm or 25mm slim radiator that does not exists for 280 ones (I didnt found one)

Awesome case
! But in my opinion, the case loses a lot of its premium and cleen looks with the new feets. And I feel that this is important for many buyers of sff cases.
The case would be perfect with the old feets!!! And I will definitely buy the case if you switch back (or if they can be replaced)!
Would it be possible to make the old feet lower without losing performance? Since the gpu is now on top of the case?

I could made the feet out of 4 parts. Than it would be possible to unscrew the middle part with the spikes
