Those are some great, thorough pics.
Are you going to orient it vertically like I did or normally?

Is this chassis going to be a limited run, or something you plan to stock in the store regularly? In a month or so I want to pick up another XL to do some heavy modding to. 120mm front fan grill cut in, AIO, full chassis painting, larger RGB power button, etc. Don't want to mess up my original one. ?
It'll be stocked regularly. I made a small batch, so there is plenty to go around for a while. I'm not popular enough to sell out in like 2 weeks like NCase M1
.Batch #2 will depend on a couple things.
Added a bunch more pictures.
The pictures feature using the M2427 for easy cable management.

Quick question: how firm is the 175 mm GPU length limit? There are those OEM RX 580s floating around out there that are supposed to be 178 mm, and I'm wondering if I could squeeze one in.
Not 100% firm. The way the bends are, you can bend the rear panel outward a bit, and squeeze it in. The 175mm length is the "reasonable to get in there" length.
Max length it can theoretically fit is actually 184mm with some squeeze and ninja magic.
I was wondering if the bracket you were talking about that helps holding the GPU while the case is in standing position is now included in the package?
It is. It has always been part of the package. There was one earlier revision but this is the current one.
Did some modding on the case today. I was about to use a 120mm radiator grill to cut a hole in the front of the case and put a Noctua NF-A12x15 in, but I decided to give this a try first.
I wanted the 92mm side fan I was using centered, and also wanted to stiffen the chassis at the top so I don't have to press the back panel inward when screwing on the outer shell (It tends to bow out a bit), so I cut a piece of flat aluminum and drilled holes that use the stock 92mm fan holes on each side.I then centered and drilled holes for the 92mm fan. (Will be adding holes for an NF-A12x15 as well) It worked out perfectly, aligning the case holes with the outer shell without squeezing the case, and made for better airflow in my current setup. I'll be painting the bar black before I reassemble the case.
(and side note, I was using a 92mm rear exhaust fan using the case's stock holes in the back, but putting fan screws through them tore up the anodization and I didn't like how that looked, so I didn't want to mount the 92mm fan directly to the outer shell. That would have also been a pain for connecting and managing the fan's power cable)

I really like the look and feel of that mod! why not using two fans instead of centering this one though?
I wanted to mention I did not order the case unfortunately. I mean it IS amazing, but I realized the PC-Q21 I already had has almost the same size and layout and doesn't look half bad either being a Lian-Li! I simply modded it for airflow (added 2 fan spots at the top) and I'm just waiting for a 180 degree adapter for my GPU's power cable to fit inside the limits of the case lol
haha small world, now I realize who you are on Reddit. I’ll be posting my PC-Q21 mod there soon! ?
Thanks! I’m addicted case modding, even if it’s this beautiful $150 unit. I had the two fans at first, then went to this single fan. I was having some weird air turbulence noise in the stock setup and it didn’t really direct airflow where I needed. I’m using the L9x65 which has a massive amount of through-fin airflow directed at this current fan. Been having some issues with my chipset and M.2 on my current motherboard and this would aid in blowing directly though the heatsink to the chipset and M.2.
oh dear, so we'd have been talking on reddit as well? loll i'm not difficult to correlate since i use the same username hahaha! so you have a pc-q21 AS WELL?! i debated getting this one here, but it comes out sooooooooo expensive for me in canadian rupees that i never did it, and then realized i have the pc-q21, it wil have to do! at least now it's not an atomic oven anymore!
ahh, those are good reasons for wanting to find alternatives! in my case, i have weirdly high temperatures all over my build, even if i manage good ventilation. i'm cursed, lol
I finally found the perfect, silent setup in this case for me personally. Removed my GPU shroud and fan, added a slim NF-A12x15 on the side. Somehow this dropped not only my GPU temp, but the NVME and chipset temps on my MSI B450i. The best part is its nearly silent!

Not much to see inside since it's currently a cable management nightmare with an extension from the fan on the GPU side, a 4 pin - 8 pin EPS adapter extension for my pico PSU and the mustard colored cables for the rear power connector.
Using it in the same layout as my avatar here, with a Noctua NH-L9x65 SE-AM4, Ryzen 2600 and the de-shrouded MSI GTX1650. I have a lot more pictures of the inside of it on previous pages.
