Thanks!
also for the general updates:
The case will be reaching my hand next week so we are a bit slow, yes, but steady moving to the final stages
I'll do a round up of testings here just to make sure there's nothing to adjust before the launch

Just want to let my feedback...it’s amazing! Really like the „final“ look! Happy to see the project moving it’s final steps!
Could you take some pictures with your testing configuration when your going to work inside the case? Just to get a better overview.
Oh I will take a lot of photosJust want to let my feedback...it’s amazing! Really like the „final“ look! Happy to see the project moving it’s final steps!
for the test system I will be using my i7 4790, a sesonic 300w 80 plus gold psu and for the motherboard I'm sourcing is a cheap ''dtx'' so, 1 pci 1 slot and 1 pci x16.
its really hard to find lga1150 itx these days so I'll go with that as its a temporary system and I wont be overclocking anyway
for the micro atx setup I'll using some parts my brother is getting for his new system, so it will be a micro atx APU system, as the difference in price of these motherboards (here in brazil) allow us to pay for a decent 160w dc-atx power supply and still have cash left.
for most of you going micro atx is a matter of choice rather than budget I suppose. as it allow capture cards, sound cards and gpus at the same time.
Not in the 7 litter (CG7) model and its not full micro ATX. I think that this will be more clear as soon I take some pictures with the hardware insideOh i forgot this case support micro atx
But even with a tfx psu ?
Speaking of mATX could hold a cheap but rather potent system if you took a plunge with one of the Chinese brand X79 mATX motherboards and a used Xeon chip. For the price it's not a bad value.
Interesting, but those dimms slots seems huge ...Speaking of mATX could hold a cheap but rather potent system if you took a plunge with one of the Chinese brand X79 mATX motherboards and a used Xeon chip. For the price it's not a bad value.
But ecc ddr3 might come way cheaper , interesting ^^
Here are the full specs of the product. They seem to be for regular DDR3 dimms but as I no longer have a board that supports DDR3 can't tell if they are really that size anymore.
The biggest drawback I can find is the lack of USB 3.0 interface, so all your fast data transfer will have to come through SATA or network interface. But I like all those USB 2.0 ports for loads of peripherals.

holy molly that's something really unique!!
I gave a look at that newegg page and found this other model
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAC5F6X40831
I thing that this model would be a even better deal, considering that it has at least another pci-e x16 to add usb 3.0 and 4 ddr3 slots
I'm not sure if it fits but I think it might. I'll check this asap
It is 25.3 cm long so it is slightly longer than a typical micro ATX board. It has enough room for 5 slots (with one left out) so it's like somewhere between ATX and mATX.
yup it fits!
and quite comfortably I'd say
this doesn't allow for bottom fans over 12mm (so some 80x10 might fit)
and the rest its quite fine.
hdplex 300w should fit just fine. but it would block the seccond pci-e x16 in that motherboard, not sure if that would be desired
I'd love to see that built someday

this is actually the 7L Model, with the TFX psu removed and with the alternative i/o panel.
I'll try to explain it better with pictures this week
So i wasn't dreaming, the smaller version can house a micro atx card (but without a tfx psu :/)
Can't wait to see the project done !
Edit : 'im digging more in those x79 board and i found that one
https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B07B63PVVJ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A11VX37OCWMIC3&psc=1
Seems like a real matx one, the bummer here is sata, but oh well with a sata card it can be solved

smallish update
yesterday was my 1 year forum anniversary and yesterday I got the case in my hands
I'm still a bit cathartic,I know it may sound cheesy but I'm really happy with it and it is symbolic for me.
Its really nice in person, the texture feels great. I have a few things here and there to fix but overall I'm really liking this a LOT!
Expect some pictures down the week but only for the case assembly thought. I'll have to wait at least another week for some parts to arrive because the store mixed up my psu.. sigh
Also, the new screws improved quite a bit the looks of it, here's some photos with a banana for scale:
sorry for the scale joke
