If we're counting each slot as 20mm then it's a 3.05 Slot card. It fits length-wise and we didn't expect that, so I figured I'd check.
The Aorus is probably one that'd need to be in 4-Slot mode, though, now that I've checked those specs again.

less space on the CPU side depending on your cooler. other than that, unsure. I'll probably do it too because the BeQuiet AIO has quite a short CPU block
Main issue is the CPU cooler clearance, even certain AIO pumps may not fit in 4-Slot mode.
(Originally I thought the Z63 wouldn't fit but it seems like it'd have 1mm of clearance.)

Yeah for sure. I'm planning on using an EK 240 AIO which they've confirmed works in 4 slot mode according to the FAQ
Planning to leave in 3-slot. I'm putting the mesh on the GPU side anyways. I want more room between my PSU and the TG panel.
Planning to run Positive pressure (air IN thru the front) simply based on OptimumTechs results vs running Negative pressure. We will see how it does. Though a CPU running at 70...is still darn good if it gives a better balance between the CPU and GPU.
The question I have is, fan orientation...this is my first AIO build. Put fans out front so they are pushing air on the rad? Or put on the rear of the AIO to pull air? Seems temps are negligible difference, more about dust build up/cleaning. Leaning towards putting fans on the back in a pull configuration.
I remember when helping my brother who lives in Dubai to get PC parts that Lian Li was decently available. I also used to see them in Lebanon when I lived there. Not sure about other parts of the ME but gulf countries are similar to Dubai I imagine
I think fans pulling in on the inside for 2 reasons:
1. More room for tube routing and bending which is often tougher with radiator on the inside (PCWorld video confirms this too)
2. Better thermals in testing from previous cases such as the Ncase M1. I assume the same holds true here but at worst maybe it just doesn't matter.
Thing is - the Z63 is the tallest NZXT AIO pump and it fits in 4 slot mode with 1mm to spare. (52mm tall vs 53mm clearance in 4S mode)
So at least based on listed specs, that isn't true.
Yeah so maybe even that one fits - but in general the idea holds that 4 slot mode should work fine for pretty much all AIO pumps in terms of space.
I wanted the black edition with no RGB, no 280 option available there yet. Based on some tests I've seen the 240 performs on par with some 280 models anyways, so seems like a good choice.
I guess the product was not "fixed" and opinions made sense after all?
You see why it's important to let people express their opinions without trying to temper their expectations while not being part of the project?
Anyways.
I will wait for more reviews and maybe, eventually and hopefully switch from my new NR200 to this case.
Target April for US and EU, but all factories are closed for Chinese New Year, so we can't get production timetables to guarantee anything.
Backplate is also accounted for in the 61mm, so the card from the PCB to the Fan-shroud is actually shorter, more like 58mm. So 3-slot mode is fine, as slots only get counted from the PCB, not the backplate.
