Why not just get a USB A to C adapter?2 USB-A please! That can make life much much easier
Great to see an update, looking forward to the case! A and C connectors on the front - perfect!
Sorry but I mean 1 usbc and 2usba. Since MB offers 19pin(2usba), only use one is such a waste especially in itx cases where extendibility is restricted. If I remember it correctly, ncase v5 offers usbc+2usba. If we rotate 90degree to make the jack vertical, I think there is enough space
Looking forward to seeing this great case become available in the coming months.
That'd give the I/O panel : 2*USB-C + combo jack + USB-A + power button.
Could a second USB-C port be squeezed in, perhaps ?

That's brilliant! I'm so excited
BTW does anyone know if use D12 high tower cooler, is it safe to carry such a build with it in a carry-on luggage on a plane? Will the motherboard crack? Maybe it's necessary to put some foam in before the flight?
I can't edit the previous message so here is a separate one.
Will it be possible to hard-fix the position of the GPU or use a PCI-E riser cable in the C4-SFXv2? I'm just worried about the safety of the PCI-e slot of the motherboard when transporting the PC on an airplane (shaking etc).

Since the Case uses a standard ITX style layout, just make sure to stow it away with the mainboard side down (mainboard "flat on the ground" if that makes any sense). This will be the safest position for both air coolers and GPU. Of course there will still be some lateral force applied to the CPU cooler mounting mechanism and therefore be transferred to the mainboard, but this is better than to have the cooler hanging down and then experiencing up and down shaking (which is most common on flights).
Same applies for the GPU and its slot: being pushed into the slot will not hurt anything, so having the GPU stand upright in the slot is the best orientation while flying.
Whenever I fly, I pack the 'empty space' in my case out with bubble wrap.That's brilliant! I'm so excited

I'm relatively carefree with my system when flying though, I'll often send my PC via hold luggage so I've not got to carry it on transfers
The panels on my A4H2O however haven't fared well to being thrown in the hold. I'm down to 2 pins a panel now.
Edit for clarification;
In my checked luggage, but still, it's had a rough life.

It it supposed to be around 200€ in Europe, problably a lil bit above that, but since the v1 never saw US availability´it is hard to figure out into what USD pricing this will translate.
If you want to absolutely make that happen, you better check back in here at least weekly so you don't miss the launch. There is no official statement on how many units will be produced this time (v1 turned out quite dissappointing to many of us)

Finally got done with my build in this case. Specs: ASUS ROG Strix B650E-I Ryzen 7800X3D with Noctua NH-D12L MSI RTX 4090 Gaming Trio X 64GB DDR5 CL32 6200 Corsair SF750 512GB 980 PRO 2TB Kingston Fury Renegade An absolute beast, but the GPU was sketchy to install 😅

Question regarding the case.
I saw that the case increase in volume but decrease in dimension based on the spec on v1 vs v2. Can anyone explain how's this possible?
Also, not sure if this could still happen but an option to select the front IOs would have been great (i.e. 2 usb A and usb c i/o headphone jacks)
Thanks!

Where did you get those specs from and what do they say?
From what I know, these are the official numbers:
v1: 253 (H) x 166 (W) x 350.2 (D)
v2: 266 (H) x 167 (W) x 346.5 (D)
I can't quite tell from the pics, but with the small increase in size to accomodate MATX, would it be possible to use SFX-L PSU and MATX alongside a NVIDIA FE card? Or would it have to be "standard" SFX?
Also, do the new jumbo air coolers fit? Thermalright Phantom Spirit/Peerless Assassin or DeepCool Assassin IV? Or is the D12L the limit for air cooler size?

D12L clearly the limit for air cooler size with side bracket installed. Maybe PS120SE would fit without it?
The V2 renders mention "optimized AIO bracket for mATX D12 compatibility", but it's not immediately clear to me how exactly the AIO bracket was changed or how that change might positively (or negatively) impact compatibility with other tower air coolers.

Does the 4.4 slot GPU support mentioned in these renders indicate an increase in vertical volume for the GPU chamber?
An increase in compatibility with thicker 40 series GPUs / more flexibility for using thicker fans when deshrouding GPUs would make V2 a huge upgrade over V1 for me.
EDIT: Just compared the V1 vs V2 height dimensions and it looks like the V2 is 13mm taller (266 vs 253). That 13mm height increase is definitely enough to allow room for an extra 10mm of GPU thickness (3.9 slots / 78mm to 4.4 slots / 88mm) - assuming that the height increase is primarily allocated to increasing max GPU volume.
