Thanks [USER=7661]@Engr62[/USER]!At this point I haven't yet powered on the whole system because I estimate around 300W requirement with some headroom and I don't yet have the power components to support that. I can run it GPU-less with a 150W AC adapter.However, I am already planning a few design revisions that would hopefully make the case production-ready. The most significant of these is lowering the GPU position by at least 5mm. This should be enough distance to allow extra-tall cards to fit, like the Gigabyte 1080 mini. You would still be able to fit a MeanWell 200W or a KMPKT Dynamo 360 below the GPU.Second change is the recessed motherboard standoff holes mentioned before, mostly to line up the I/O shield.The third change is with the top case piece. An extra 3mm of fringe material will be added to the inner wall so it won't bend as much. Also, there will be tabs with screw holes to mount an optional mounting bracket. This bracket would add support for two additional 2.5" hard drives over the CPU cooler if the cooler is 28mm or shorter.
