Thank you for clarifying! Just want to make sure it wasn't going to make the side panel 'bulge' ?. If not, then I'll hit buy!
it might bulge slightly, but most people say it doesnt or it's not noticeable. Either way, it fits.
Getting keen for my T1 to arrive, I think I am in the late November batch.
Sorry if I have missed it, but I've not seen anyone use the back port on the case as a fill port yet? I was hoping to do this for my setup and trying to find the right fittings to be able to use.
Mrs has said no to a 3000 series card at the moment, apparently renovations on the house come first. . . so going CPU only loop for a while still running my 1080ti, but would like to prep my loop essentially as best i can for adding GPU in later, going to order fittings soon, already have rad, pump and fans. and it's this fitting that has me the most confused without the case in hand.

I feel like I'm missing one from the subreddit, but this is the only one I could find in recent posts. I could have sworn there was a second.
Update on 3080 FE thermal test:
With 3-slot mode and card against side panel, I inserted a thermometer between the GPU fan and the back of PSU. It was toasty in there, at 58C. So flipping the PSU to have it intake GPU exhaust air doesn’t seem like a good idea. At the same time, the PSU exhaust air was about 45C.

Did you measure the temp of air entering into the GPU front fan?
How about the temp of exhaust from the other GPU fan (ie exhausting via the rear PCI slot)? It is interesting to see if that temp is also about 58C.
Hmm, I can see the plug, but hard to see if there is any runs actually connected to this, from what i understand its G14 threaded right through, so could simply put a plug on the outside and then connect to a T piece on the inside inline with the loop to use as a fill port then. . . hmmm perhaps i just wait on case to arrive then test some generic fittings on it and make a decision, was just hoping to get all parts on my desk to build for when the T1 arrived.
@fabio did you do anything with the port on the back of the case in your tests?
Just took the measurements. The intake air is 26C, barely above ambient since it's against the side panel and taking air directly from outside the case. The rear IO panel exhaust is 57C, so basically no difference from the exhaust inside.
Generally speaking, what's the best AIO 240mm radiator and fan combo to use in a T1 if one is going something like an Asus TUF 3080 PC for the GPU and a x700 or x800-level Zen 3 CPU? (With no bulge or flex on the top panel)
well considering no one knows how hot a Zen3 CPU would run you're asking a rhetorical question somewhat
Otherwise, refer to this post earlier by one of the mad scientists @DrHudacris for the best performing 240mm radiator in terms of thermals. Easiest fitting is the exact opposite order
EDIT: Just realised you were asking about AIO specifically sorry. I'd consider it a toss up between an EK AIO 240 DRGB or Corsair H100i Pro XT. The EK should have better thermals marginally but the Corsair can control fan speeds by coolant temp instead of CPU temp
get the M.2426 guys, it's amazing! more clearance for fan between radiator and PSU, open up spaces for routing and airflow also
Finally able to install the M.2426 in to the build today. What's the best cable management? To have NO cable at all ?
And here is the entire gallery
Hey mate, my pics might help you but the best way is, like you said, to just play around once the case arrives! Order extra fittings just in case!
The G1/4 to m19 supplied fitting sits flush on one side, sticks out about 3mm on the other. I actually attached a collar from a barrow fill port to keep the g1/4 to m19 adaptor from spinning when adjusting the external hose. The amount of room you have internally depends on the length of your radiator, I’m using a tx240 pushed all the way to the front. Internal T Piece/3 cube should fit with this radiator. It’s hard to use both rear fill ports unless you move the PSU plug.

Hum... you are all dreaming about getting a RTX 3080 and putting it in a T1 but you should wait for the navi 21 and 22 ...
October will be a very very interesting month !
Probably the most interesting year for pc components !

You might be right. I've pre-ordered the 3080TUF but I'm sure the RDNA2 cards will be announced before I actually have it, so I'm definitely waiting for them.
Will be interesting to see what they bring. If they can rival the 3080 while using less power I might order one.

This is awesome but uh.... what exactly am i looking at here? Sorry, T1 is gonna be my first SFF and i'm still learning the ropes. Handholding appreciated.
Edit: Pslate but power user mode?

Ok new questions.
If this thing has options for GPU and CPU adapters, what exactly is it powering if I don't buy those.
