Production Meshlicious Redesign - Vertical, 280AIO mainstream case

[lyf007]

Support for two 3.5" HDDs when using the horizontal GPU mount...

Your GPU will be inverted (aka upside-down), and if more than 175mm or so in length it will interfere with a 240 or 280 AIO...?

@Wahaha360 , please correct if I am wrong...?

Up to 235mm *horizontal GPU support, up to 4 slots, cable exit through the back

Deep ITX Epyc mobo could fit in this chassis as well...?

140mm AIO for the CPU, shorty GPU (RTX 3070 @ 232mm seems the best bet right now?), & a bunch of SSDs; all in a 14.5L package...?

Emm, I wonder if I can take the space of aio and use it for a 3.5. 140 aio should be enough for my 3600x but I have a full size gpu.

Can you flip it vertically so you don't have a hair braid of cables running from the top/rear of the case toward the table?

GPU cables come out the bottom so if you flip it you literally have them coming out of the top.

I emailed EK and they said there will be a 280mm AIO coming out soon ! Waiting on that to replace my 240

Glad I went with the NH-U12A to tide me over then, much easier a thing to resell than an AIO.

Will there be a way to fit a 3.5" HDD without blocking space for full length cards?

@Wahaha360 A question regarding the vertical GPU mount: does the case come with extensions, or is the opening in the bottom meant to facilitate tilting the case over to plug in/remove cables "easily"? And what is the maximum length for the connector+cable bend radius? In the pics it looks pretty short, which is less than ideal for DP connectors at least.

Not really on the ATX PSU.

The Kraken CPU block is 80mm tall, even taller than the Noctua L12S, to keep the case small, decided not to support it.

Hmm, I believe Kraken block height is only 53mm (for the X62) or 55mm (for the X63), 80mm are the two other dimensions. You can see that on the photos when the block is roughly the same height as the radiator+fan combo (30mm rad+25mm fan)

@Wahaha360 over here stealth updating the first post...! ;^p

Only one size of the fan hole is visible. How install other size fan?

Looks like one of the fan rails can be set for either 120mm or 140mm fan spacing, so 120mm-based fans and/or AIOs will be slightly offset to the CPU / mobo / PSU side of the chassis...

looks like each fan rail has two positions

Look closer, just the right corner rail of the chassis itself (as you look at the front of the chassis) has two positions, the left has one...?

Left also has two, second one is just in the shadow

i had to turn my phone brightness up to see it

Yup, I see it now...!

I had to zoom in 300%, on my 2560x1440 31.5" monitor...

Old eyes suck...!

Looks freakin sh'exy

Any ideas when we will get a compatible 280mm AIO list?

EK needs to get the D-RGB 280 EK-AIO on the Newegg (US) webstore...!

Agreed. It's interesting they decided to silently release it to Asia without trying to roll it out in the Americas / Europe.

Well i initially planned to get the FormD-T1/Sidearmd, but didn't get on the first batches, then got intrigued by the vertical cases because of the NZXT H1, then decided to wait and see how the FormD-P1 would turn out. Bought a 2020 Blade 15 Adv as a temp system while i waited , and im glad i waited, i think im going to preorder this case day one, i love the flexibility, and looks of this case, and think it looks even better then the P1 early renders.
