It is possible, but the only way I've managed to get one to fit is to position it above the motherboard to the side of the case. There are no mounting positions for it so you will need to be resourceful and stick it to the inside of the case somehow, may be double sided tape or Velcro would work.So an HDPlex 160 AC-DC and LP gpu would be tight but possible?
Those look awesome!Here are some more images I've been meaning to post for a while that may help to explain the case layout better than I can with just words!
Topless HT5 with HDPLEX 400w HiFi DC-ATX and 2x 80x25mm fans, the CPU cooler is the Noctua NH-L9x65:
Another view from the side that allows you to see the clearance when fitting a HDPLEX DC-ATX unit, there isn't much space left around the motherboard if you want to fit fans and HDD's. You also have to remember that the HDPLEX 160w and 300w AC-DC units are bigger than the DC-ATX units:
Closeup of the the side slot fan and multifunction panels (design has been tweaked slightly since this photo):
As you can seen you can create some interesting layered combinations, in the photo above I'm using some 15mm thick 80mm Akasa fans which then leaves room for a second multifunctional mount panel. This is the case I am personally using as my test HTPC, I have attached a slim generic 120w DC-DC board onto this panel which you will see in the later photos below.
A better view of the clearances with the dual layered side combos:
Now onto a dedicated LP GPU layout with the alternative rear panel (included with case):
Typical layout with LP GPU on the left and 2x 80mm fans on the right and space for a 2.5" HDD in the front, or perhaps even a slim line DC-DC power board:
Alternative layout using 2x slim 80mm fans and the multifunctional panel on the same side to mount a 120w DC-DC power board in combination with LP GPU:
Slot panel cover in place with tinted window panel to the side:

That's fine. Double sided tape should work. ThanksThanks for the comments everyone!

Update 17th feb 2018:
First pics of v0.2 prototype:
I see on the back that you have a cutout for mounting a IEC C14 jack, but how would I be able to mount the DC input jack of a HDPLEX 160W if I plan on going the external laptop AC adapter route?
I'm sure someone could easily 3D print an adapter of sorts
You really did think of everythingThe case is supplied with 4 adapter plates that you mount into the C14 cut-out to cater for various types of power connectors including the HDPLEX DC input, G-Unique style input and also generic barrel style inputs of varying diameters.
What camera do you use?
I like the new Asrock's Deskmini GTX/RX Z370 idea of placing HDDs (at least 2 x 2.5 15mm) or even slot load ODD at the bottom.
If this idea is incorporated for me will be a winner. However, IMO the design is already very good.
My apprehension only is the sturdiness of the case...
Have you considered adding case feet?
The 160W HDPlex AC-DC has been fit in the case with some motherboard overhang.
Do you know if the 300W version can fit too, or will it be too tall/conflict with the side compartment covers?
Do you have any approximations for when in Q2 the case will hit production?
I'm currently debating whether I should do a low-power APU build, or hold out for zen+ and a low profile turing card. My choice will likely be dictated by the release date of this case, which in turn will lay the premise for which PSU i choose (~160w or ~300), and if it will be brickless or not. Thoughts and input welcome. Thanks in advance!
Thanks! I don't want to give a definitive date yet, but likely some point around May if I'm being realistic.Holy moly! This is going to work great for an APU build for my S/O's school desktop. Do you have an estimated release date for the case?
