You've got a point about the turbulance. I haven't been able to test a CPU fan right against the surface of a vented panel.The measurement I've taken with the bottom of the motherboard standoffs (using ~6.4mm or quarter inch standoffs) to the top of the heatsink is 55.5mm so subtracting the heatsink it would be between 15 and 16mm of allowed space from mobo standoffs to IHS.Looks pretty close to this diagramAdding 3mm more for the top and bottom outer walls of the case, we can get to 58-59mm for the total outer width of the case. 188mm for case depth, and 290mm for height, then the case size could be about 3.2L in volume. The case will look a bit more "chunky" compared to the S4 Mini, only because the width won't scale down proportionally as much as the height or depth.
