My understanding was that the B550 has only the pcie slot and 1 nvme supported with gen 4 - while X570 is entirely gen 4 throughout, and supports pcie 4.0 for both nvme slots and the pcie slot?
Edit: Confirmed through the link above.

I believe she is referring to the Full Mesh Version, which is at the higher price because Mesh Side Panel cost more than the TG.
White color also cost materially more than Black color.
The Full Mesh Version was added last minute, will update more in 12 hours.
Thanks for the clarification - assuming the quoted price is the white full-mesh, that's totally fair.
Ok...so remind me the big deal about having the PCI-E 4.0 riser over the 3.0?
If I recall the PCI-E 4.0 GPU's aren't slowed down or anything by the 3.0 risers. Is the 4.0 riser simply 'better' because in the event I have to update BIOs I don't have to worry about the whole PCI-E 3.0 riser vs PCI-E 4 port/gpu situation since the BIO would reset to 'auto'?

In short, yes, you're right.
If you use a PCIE 3.0 riser with a 4.0-based MB and GPU, the BIOS will default back to Auto (4.0) upon a reset/update and you won't get any video through your GPU, meaning you would need to seat the GPU directly to the MB or swap to a 3.0 GPU when you update the bios to set it back to 3.0 mode so it works with the 3.0 riser.
With a 4.0 PCIE Riser, this becomes a non-issue. (Though with LINKUP's cable I'd recommend manually changing back to 3.0 mode in the bios after an update anyway to retain full speeds.)

Thanks for the replies/sanity check @BRSxIgnition and @Firebear . Guess I only need to keep my preorder with the 4.0 riser then haha.
Seconding, that would be great. Cases are usually not cheap to ship these countries from the US, or even from Europe.
Wow, the amount of options are really taking off here, that's impressive. So, will there be a white all-mesh PCIe 4.0 SKU? That's definitely what I would want. Preferably at an EU store. Swedish would be even better, but I'll order from Caseking or Alternate or some such if I have to.
Only at half bandwidth - that header theoretically puts out two sets of wiring (USB 3.2G2x2 is just USB 3.2G2 run over twice as many lanes, using the optional lanes in the USB-C port for HSIO data), so you could split it out to two ports at half bandwidth, but otherwise you'd need a hub chip on the I/O PCB which would suddenly make it complex and expensive. I guess that also depends on motherboard support, but AFAIK all USB controllers should be able to treat each set of data lanes as its own port.

Got denied for E-White version of T1. I'm holding out for white all mesh version of Meshlicious. Yeah, I know, its not e-white. I'm fine with it.
2020-02-03: MSI GPU update
MSI Suprim X fits, all 326mm of it, so MSI Gaming X Trio should also.
This is possible on the lowest GPU mounting position, leaving 33mm left for DP/HDMI cable. This is NOT enough for most cables. So we have 2 solutions coming:
1) we will provide 3D Print Ready tall feet file on the website soon, these feet will lift the case higher to make room for *regular / straight HDMI / DP Cables.
2) buy angled cables yourself or from our website.
If used with a GPU less than 320mm long, you can mount the GPU at the *second lowest position, leaving 43mm for cables, then low profile regular cables that are widely available should work fine.
Do cards like the SUPRIM X and Aorus Extreme need the case to be in 4-slot mode? Or can they be run in 3-slot mode? The MSI SUPRIM X lists a thickness of 61mm while the Aorus Extreme lists a thickness of 70mm. Each slot should be 20mm, so...
Also, the SUPRIM X is 336mm on the website specifications - at least the 3090 model is.
Suprim is like 3.5 slot right? guess that will need 4 no?
