Hey Necere - have you determined what color options you'll be supporting with V6? Would love to see a space gray!
@Necere will there be an option for this? it's a showcase panel where it has vented sides AND an acrylic window. Or is this just too much of a hassle and cost inefficient? Excuse my paint skills, they're not refined. Of course the gaps will/should be balanced from the bottom side.
Edit: oops I didn’t see someone already inquired. Would’ve loved this concept and would pa for it. Hopefully in the future!

Assuming it takes a bit longer than early July, does that mean that the preorder option will still be available at Sfflab?
You can be sure of it. Honestly w360 wanted to put preorders up a month ago, but I told him no, we have to wait until we know for sure what we're delivering and when we're delivering it. Too much is still up in the air right now to give any firm dates.
One thing we're considering is releasing M1 V6 initially without any front I/O - power button only, with an otherwise blank plate where the ports will be. The reason for this is the lead time on the tooling for the ports, plus it will add to the price of the case. A no-front I/O version will allow the price to stay the same and won't delay V6 any longer than necessary for those who may not need or want the I/O. People who do want it could also order the I/O ports as a separate kit later when they're ready.
What do you guys think?

I wish that would've been an option before I bought my V5! I'm fully in favor of that idea for future revisions. As far as I'm concerned you could even go the same route as the S4 mini, and send the case without a power button, reducing the price even further.
Wouldn't mind it, I occasionally use a cases front IO, to plug in my phone or a USB stick etc. But very rarely, could just buy a USB hub and put it on my desk for even better accesibilty. No front io would probably give the case a cleaner look, I am also for it. But I definitely would need a power button
.
Right now this discussion is going on in the The Sliger SM550/560/570/580 thread. Most of the people who have responded want only the power button without usb or audio, the ones that do want usb want the type C. Personally I still prefer front audio and type B usb. I think releasing it blank with the option to add later maybe the best bet.
This sounds like a great idea to me! I'm honestly really excited to get an M1 and I would love to have one as soon as possible. With the option to get the I/O kit on its own later on, releasing the case without I/O seems like the best option to me.
I would still really like to keep the power button, though.

I'd like to keep the power button..
As for USB, I only ever use about three [mouse, keyboard, controller; maybe headset]. Type C would be neat since it seems to be the way of the future but not required since most cases dont do it in mainstream either.

Another yes for just the power button.
This upgradable front panel should cater to both camps that do not want the I/O / cleaner look / can't bother with internal USB cable management, and for those that need it.

Personally if both options are available, I'll wait for the one with the io, since it gives me more options and I'm not in a rush where it matters to me as far as timing
Interesting. Would this be a change only on the front panel or would it also change the entire front i/o module? Presume it will not be backwards compatible with V5?
