Both options look very visually appealing! Hard choice... That's no surprise given your recent success with the T1.
Maybe consider using a poll as an easy way of collating where forum members' interests lie regarding vertical or horizontal formats? My vote would definitely be for the vertical format so long as rear i/o cables and the power cable are concealed and exit the case in a neat manner. Would be even more interesting if the case had the ability to be used in either format... perhaps favoring vertical format, but I imagine such a concept would be difficult to execute well particularly at a low price point.
Regardless of what you choose to do, I'm sure it will turn out great!
