I removed the optical bay, used the included bracket to stack 2x 2.5 SSDs and then clipped into the front of the case using the bottom of one of the SSDs screw holes. Fits fine and leaves enough space between drives to get the power connectors in.

cant u post a picture? i tried the same, but the drives are to far on the left side, so they seem to touch the front cover
This is OT but have you seen someone doing 2000 mhz on the infinity fabric? I say it because I haven´t and many chips can´t even make 1900, or in my case I can do 1900 on the infinity fabric, and 3800 on the memory but not both at the same time in 1:1 mode. And trust me, it´s not a matter of voltage, I´ve tried everything.
I'm at work at the moment but if someone else hasn't stepped in by the time I get home (7 ish hours) I'll post
I have it that way, it seems that the front panel doesn´t close very well, I was thinking on machining a bit of one of the brackets because is not the ssd itself what causes this, it´s the bracket.
I notice in this image of the v5 screws, it doesn't seem to have the M4 screws listed in the manual - I take it these are an addition with the v6? If the screw sets being included are the v5 version, what are people using for attaching the GPU support bracket to the case?
Have you received your case yet? I'm in Beijing. My status is just the same as yours. But I managed to find this link http://yjcx.ems.com.cn/qps/yjcx It says the package is at the custom since 09.30. Havn't got any update since then....I think I will be the last one to receive my case : (
Nope, but I haven't actively searched for it. What I did read was that the 3950x was ultra binned, so higher chance of overclocking better.
We will only know for sure when the first 3950x's are out.
Have you tried it with the optical drive bracket? That seems to be the recommended mounting for inside the front panel now (not sure if it fits well with two drives or not though, this only shows it with one.
Case delivered and build went fine. Feels so solid once completed. Had to move the default power intake as it was fouling the AIO, but other than that it was plain sailing after all the research and planning I'd done - thanks for all the info shared here and elsewhere.

That set of mounting holes is intended for mounting the drives on the inside-front. For the outside-front, attach the drives to the ODD bracket first, then install the ODD bracket in its stock location at the front.
The M4 screws are a new addition for V6 that were included, but the rest of the screw set seems to use the loadout for V5.
Do you happen to have a photo or diagram of how the 2.5" drives are attached to the ODD bracket? I'm having a hard time picturing how that works.
EDIT: I see "Alternate mounting for 2.5" drive" in the ODD section of the User Manual, but it's not clear to me where the how the screws attach the drive(s) to the plate. If they are screwed through the four holes on the face of the ODD plate, won't the screw heads interfere with the flat front panel of the chassis?
EDIT2: I see now that the screw holes are chamfered on the back side of the ODD plate. You thought of everything! This will be a drastic improvement to my current SSD mounting solution (dangling loose from a SATA cable).

Thanks! Its a humble Sapphire RX580 8GB cos it's going to be doubling up as a Hackintosh
