With the windowed top (or side, if it's on its side) and front strip, I'm actually thinking about some RGB options, but not really sure where to begin. Anyone have any suggestions?
Possibly the Wraith Spire with the LED fan? Or would that cause turbulence by being too close to the top?
Will the new 400W HDPLEX internal ac-dc Adapter also fit in?

It seems to replace the 300W Edition and is slightly taller.
Since the 160W Edition is sold out I would have to go for this one in my build.
This is great news! This should fit in this beautiful case!There is a new 200w version coming soon.
Which stripe would you suggest / did you use? Looks great!The red glow comes from the LED strip attached to the underside of the Gigabyte B350 ITX motherboard, it works really well.
It's embedded on the underside of the motherboard. It comes with it. Soldered smt leds.Which stripe would you suggest / did you use? Looks great!
I cannot find RGB stripes that are short enough to fit properly...

Do you think the heatsink on your Gigabyte GT 1030 passive is compatible with the Gigabyte 1050ti low profile PCB?Finally finished my personal work pc in the ht5. Absolutely love this case. If you want to use the l12s with a pico better be sure to order the 150 as the pico 160 won’t fit under it. It’s an 8700 with a passive 1030 (come on Navi) with 32gb crucial ram and 1tb crucial p1 nvme drive on a gigabyte b360 gsm board. Great temps and dead silent. Looking forward to trying to Cravo as well!
I’ll for sure get some better photos once I get it al situated under my monitor.
How difficult would it be to mod this so that either 15mm or 25mm fans could be installed next to the dual slot low profile GPU? Assume minimal/nothing would be installed on the other side of the motherboard (either use an external AC/DC power brick or a ultra small Mean Well 200w AC/DC internal power supply attached somewhere with dual sided tape).

Whip the shroud and fan off your 1050ti and I reckon twin 25mm fans will fit in there without much hassle.
Something like Silent Wings 80mm PWM would be more than up to the job and stay quiet!

The difficulty with mounting fans on the GPU side (when using a GPU) is that the GPU blocks the slots for the fan mounting panel. Unless you could find a way to mount them to the actual GPU itself rather than the case.
I think you could get similar results by creating a negative pressure within the case to encourage airflow to enter the case through the GPU side vents, like this:
Or if you have space for it, use something like the Noctua NH-L12S CPU cooler with the 120mm fan blowing upward and therefore exhausting directly out the top vent, further increasing the negative pressure on the GPU side:

I have no idea about this sorry, that sounds like some serious modding for swapping low profile heat sinks.
It sounds like your trying passively cool a GTX 1050 Ti, or use 80mm fans for cooling it?
Yep, that would involve not using the panel and direct mounting to the case side using double sided 3m tape or such like. Yes it would incur a small turbulence cost but with low rpm 80mm fans being used to cool a 1050ti LP with the fan and shroud removed it would be negligible.

Just cut small strips of that and place them on the corners of the fans and you could pad them away from the case side and reduce any turbulence.
