Thank you for reading and your support. Please let me know what you think![/COLOR][/B]

Very interesting!

I look forward in anticipation of it going full production!

 

[Diamorif]

Does the case support mounting of fans above the mobo or is it just side and bottom/top mount?

 

[kami_sama]

Love it!
Seems to have the best features/compatibility from all similar cases I've seen.
But one thing I'd change is the front panel io. I'd rather have two usb a connectors than audio.

Lot of people are already asking for SFF cases that support Nvidia 4000 series, this might be the first.

CPU clearance is listed as 155mm but the Lian Li video says 158mm. Is that extra 3mm just coming from choosing the mesh panel over tempered glass?

 

[D90]

looks like a C4 big brother :-)

 

[Tramere]

It needs some clearance on top for 3x120mm fans - 30 mm should be OK. Maybe an offset for a rad. Do not forget we will need at least 1000W PSU's due to transients in the next gen, and at least 600-800W cooling so every place we can cram a rad or fan should be a possibility.

This is literally what many of us have been searching for in anticipation of the power / thermals of the next gen GPU and CPUs headed our way. Can’t wait to learn more about it as we get closer to a launch!

 

[Fa5en]

Looks really good. I'd love an option for the AIO at the top without using a riser for the GPU... Otherwise almost perfect looking to go the matx route but still be below 20 liters.

Just side and bottom/top

Yes

RIP NR200P

 

[schneeland]

The only thing that looks a bit odd is the stand, other than that it looks like this will be a good option for a smaller case that's still able to handle the increased power consumption of next generation GPUs.

 

[Netherspark]

Just side and bottom/top


Yes

Any chance of stretching that to 160mm? It's so close to being able to fit the NH-D15s and AK620.

Please make the site panel completely in silver. As seen in the pictures, the silver frame irritates me.

+1
Or make the frame black around the Mesh for the silver Version.

Some pictures with 3x120fan at top, 3090 FE, Corsair ATX, D15S with 120mm fans

 

[Netherspark]

Ok, I'm confused. The max CPU clearance is 158mm but it can fit a D15s, which is 160?

I assume the side panel does fit with the D15s?

 

[m-i-c-k-e-y]

Maybe I could say... Finally I have my Case.
Ticks all my boxes.

I love most of the case but I really dislike the the vertical grooves on the front panel and I really dislike the foot.

Leaving the front panel blank like the h20 or maybe a single horizontal groove like the two part T1 case would be much nicer.

As to the foot again I turn to the h20 with the rubber block feet as a much nicer option.

I’m super interested in this though I would love to switch to matx.
