Thanks. I got in touch with the seller and here's what I learned:

1) Not sure but it looks like the top sits on an inner lip.. the older version had screws on the top but the new is smooth.




2) Seen a few folks cut away most of the storage frame, except the section holding the USB header and two mounting screws. See :


3) Seller says stand offs + motherboards eat up about 10mm, so with the 65mm case, I'd need 10 extra mm or jump to 80mm and make a thin slot. Will try to find a CNC to make a nice clean cut, there's a few maker spaces around : )

Here's the taobao link: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=578826676813

With USB 3.0 (CNY +15) and vented top (CNY +10) (add-ons as separate items in shop)

L65S ~ CNY 145 ~ USD 21
L80S ~ CNY 160 ~ USD 23

There's also this style:

I like the light and button much better, but USB 2.0

Thank you very much, that info is solid gold! I will definitively go with this case for my wife's system as soon as I can afford it, and try to complete as much details as I can.
