looks great! really similar to the Geeek A30 i currently use and love (minus the dust build-up)! i try to make it work for the HD Plex 400W as well, but it's not as neat as your solution, since that case is basically built for Flex PSU, but still, it's the best I could come up with.

the only issue i see potential with your design is the airflow? is there enough air clearance at the top for the hot air to exhaust?

This so cool and I love that you're sharing it with us the actual files!

I think someone mention it but would you design one with a plex PSU under and possibly shorter (to house a gtx 1080 Ti mini - can keep it 211mm internal length). I have made my DIY (almost done) out of wood frame and plan to use thin aluminum sheet to cover the rest. It would be so dope if the top panel is also very vented, from my experience, the maxinum vented top is absolutely needed with these sandwich layouts, the hot air naturally wants to escape from top and back. here's a reference if you want a visualize layout of what I'm talking about:

I'm using 3/16 plywood here, Internal volume is exactly 5L and external is 5.5L (because of wood thickness.)
