I cannot see you needing x10 90 degree fittings unless you plan on doing hardline. x2 for the CPU block, maybe another x2 for the rad and maybe extra x1 or x2 spare.
That is a good point about the mm measurement often including the backplate, I hadn't realized that. Thank you @DrHudacris and @gwertheim for the link.
I’m having a similar concern with GPU fit, though with height vs. width. If it isn’t a clean fit as-is, I wonder if there will be room to tinker with it, whether it’s 3D printing a new GPU bracket or (in my case), removing the LED strip on a FTW3.
I was actually talking about the tube connectors but whatever. There are a couple of build guides, check em out and go from there, every build is different so nobody can tell you exactly how many of everything
Is that for all versions as pictured? So if orders become available in June they will be delivered in Q4 regardless of whether it is black or silver? Or is the black version available sooner and silver will be released in a few months?
Cable management, PS modular cables either next to the fan or the other side of the case.
In addition to that, the PSU’s exhaust is oriented towards the fans.
Been lurking on the forum for almost a year watching this thread! Very excited to see the progress.
AIO tubes will be a bit tighter due to the PSU bracket. If you’re going with a custom loop, this is easily avoided with 90° fittings or routing the tubes another way.

Ok, so just to be clear, the two tone mentioned in the first post is now delayed? So instead of being in the June batch it wont be available until Q4? And assuming that that delay means that all of the silver will be in Q4?
Thanks for the additional information. I wasnt getting this from the first post.
In that picture the PSU is flipped. When the Power Cable is facing the fans, and the M\B, CPU, GPU cables are facing the other side (in the picture they’re facing to the bottom of the case), then you know it’s flipped.
Yep, this picture is what most of us refer to as "flipped", as most sandwich cases have the PSU oriented the other way, by default.
Another (potential) advantage of the flipped orientation is less restriction for the fan. When I did my first cleaning of the mesh of dust, I noticed the dust only accumulated in the part of the mesh between the fan and PSU. That's a 20-30mm area (at least on the motherboard side of the case). With the flipped PSU, the exhaust vent faces the intake of the fan, which allows freer flowing intake air for the fan. In theory!
Do you have the radiator fans as intake? Does that yield better temp results in your build?
It should be mentioned that should be less of a problem with version 1.1 of the case (the one in the june batch), because there is now a cutout for the tubes to go through. It can still be a problem if the tubes are really thick, but most AIO tubes aren't that thick, so it should be fine.
