I can't quite tell from the picture, but it looks to me like the fan goes all the way to the bottom of the case (i.e. it's basically resting on the bottom). If that's the case, the tips of the fins at the very bottom are probably blowing under the motherboard, which would explain the NVME piece. I don't really have a good answer for the chipset, though.

Here's a pic of the inside with a cover I made out of mesh for the SFX PSU I'm not using. Will be putting a Noctua U9S in it to fill the space soon.

Currently available is SFX to 92 mm and 2x 60 mm.
Totally missed this project, love the design !
Especially the possibility to choose between case fans or ssd, which makes a lot of sense now M2 format options are affordable. Also the 2427 is a great addition here.
It'd be interesting to know the thermals of a beefy config (i.e. i7 & RTX) & also I'm curious about the default case fans mounting (bending/vibrations with only 2 screws?)

awesome i totally missed this too - have been waiting years for a cut-down ITX SG05/13 style case. imo this is the ideal space efficient layout for upper-midrange setups. doesnt require risers, ultra-low cpu coolers, or niche noisy PSUs like flex (yes SFX psus are mainstream now! and nearly silent. we've come a long way). of course the ITX card and no tower coolers is the big limitation but you save a lot of space by skipping those. closest thing to this layout was the Osmi but that had some compromises.
definitely grabbing one
@Thehack question:
under the power section of your site theres a tiny board + ATX connector for corsair SF platinum, looks really interesting. works for all SF platinums? wires can be shortened if needed by cutting and terminating the other end that connects to PSU right? very cool little gizmo!
EDIT: i missed some info and the youtube video. its all good now, placed an order for a case + the cables, cheers!

My personal build!

My wife got me this case for Christmas (she’s the best) and I can’t wait to build in it! Once some higher end ITX GPUs become available in the states... it’s gonna happen! 
Built mine today with a 2700x. Big Shuriken 3 isnt' cutting it thermals-wise. Have you tried putting a Noctua NH-L12S in there? It's right at 70mm so I'm afraid of it running up against the PSU.
Speaking of the PSU--fan facing up or down? Right now I have it facing up.

Sounds like a bad install. Check it outside the case.
It should idle at around 45C.
I also recommend additional fan as well. You might have to mess with the configuration to see what works best.
Ok, I just took it apart, re-seated the cooler, swapped the noctua fan for the stock Scythe fan, and re-applied thermal paste. I also changed the orientation of the cooler.
Idling at 48c.
Here is how it was set up before:
Here is what it looks like after rotating the cooler 180 degrees.
Obviously I would be a terrible scientist because I changed too many variables to know which one really did it.

Temps are great still. Idle generally stays around 55 unless the heat is really going in the office. PSU fan is running constantly tho.
(Unfinished) JHack Pure XL eater cooled APU
ASrock Thin ITX Mobo
Unfinished JHack Pure XL water cooled APU (3400G) build I'm working on. Using an ASrock A320TM-ITX with 16G 4000MHz SODIMM ram to maximize space.
I know this case isn't meant for anything resembling a build like this. Just trying to challenge myself.
Figured id at least show the community. Thanks for looking

Leak Testing is finally done. Next is to dial in the overclock and see how far it goes.
