They help clinch the case together tightly. When you have more IO and stuff in the rear, it easy for it to bend. It's a functional trade off.
Prototype submitted to fabrication.
Looking to do a kickstarter to fund this project. I hope to have a slightly bigger run than the Mk1 which only has about 50 units in the wild.

Loving this.
Was thinking the other day if I should build a small compile box with a high-performant (3950X) Ryzen, a low-profile cheap GPU and enough RAM, but small enough to fit on my work desk. The tower I have now is simply taking up a LOOOOOT of space.
Is the setup shown brickless, and does it support an mDTX form factor?

For the kickstarter campaign, I am thinking of three packages:
1. Case only, choice of vandal switch
2. GPU ready, includes 160W brick and dcdc unit
3. Internal psu ready, includes RPS-200 and 160w dcdc.
The other question is if there is any desire for a 120W max internal unit? It is $25 cheaper than 200w but I feel like it wouldn't be popular.

It does almost seem silly that the internal PSU package, which can support CPU only, comes with a more powerful PSU than the external package that must power twice as much.
Do you still offer a 120w plug in unit? Would the combination of 120w ACDC and 120w DCDC be more than $25 cheaper?
No 120w. Currently the combo for 160w internal is $100. A 120w will be around $75.
The external unit is likely the same is the internal 160(200w cooled) unit. The difference is that it's rated for 160w full passive. I have a 250w external with a 1070 + 2600X so it'll handle anything just fine I'm sure.
This new case is perfect for those like myself who want to utilize it as very small, a low power pfSense router build (that supports pcie network cards). My setup would consist of an i3-6100T (35w), Noctua NH-l9i, 120gb m.2 ssd, and a low profile pcie Intel i350 dual nic card. Personally, I would love the 120w option as I don't believe my use case would need anything more.
Looking forward to your kickstarter campaign, as I will definitely be supporting this project!
Excellent work on the Pure Mk2 case!

If your nic is just a board without heatsinks, you may be able to use an internal acdc, but I can't guarantee it.
External 120w bricks and lower quality Pluginunits can be had pretty cheaply.
Regardless I will only have 3 configurations to keep the amount of work streamlined.
Thank you for supporting! Hopefully the kickstarter will get funded.
Look at sometime in March or April. Will be submitting the second prototype in a few weeks after I make a few changes.
