Would be cool if we can lay the case on it's side.
What's stopping you? If by "side" you mean the thinner and NOT the wider "side."

Thin side. Thick aluminium brushed front panel with USB and so on will be OK too. On resend bottom, where are PSU, of course. )))Would be cool if we can lay the case on it's side.
Will be civilian horizontal format with little footprint.

Someone posted in the Vertex thread that DSE sent a brief update in Discord saying he's busy with studies but will get back to cases during winter break.
It doesn't seem to make any sense to take production out of the US... With the tariffs now lowering the price of most of the materials for production it would cost more to produce it in China. Not only that, but the lead time of the order will be longer as well as the shipping time, AND the cost of shipping will be much greater. Plus you'll have to deal with customs if it is being produced in China/another country outside the continental US.

Aren't lian li produced in Taiwan? Fairly sure my cases from 15 years ago were from Taiwan...
I know this is an "older" project at this point but I just wanted to show some appreciation. I love this case. I've had mine since July of 2018 and this is the first time I can remember where i'll end up having the same case for over a year. I've got the SFF bug and i'm always looking for a way to go smaller without compromises.
I have a C7 CU in mine with a 120mm slim fan attached via 3d printed adapter (Silverstone white on black to match my case). I'm running a Ryzen 1700 and RTX 2080 and everything is nice and cool always. It's insane for a case this small to have these kinds of temps. I literally can't find a smaller solution that can support these parts. This is my endgame case and it's bittersweet because after months of searching for the next level, there simply isn't one.
I'm going to cram a Ryzen 3600X in there when they release, it's projected to be a 95w part, up from my 1700's 65w but i'm honestly not worried about it.
DSE, this case has no equal in my opinion. Great job!

Speaking of great cases, mine has been sitting for a while, I'm into cramming AIOs into smaller cases now. Mine is up for grabs, pm me if interested. Can't wait for DSE's next design!
I've talked to DSE not too long ago. From what he said, both this project and the Vertex are not dead, but he's busy with university and doesn't have time right now. Personally holding out for the Vertex, but the planned look of Breathe V3.0 looks really good.
I'm completely smitten by the Vertex, so I'm hoping that it comes out at some point.
