Yes, if you are tidy with your PSU cables you can fit a full 25mm thick fan under the PSU.
Just the spine, front, rear & bottom, it is pretty sturdy.
Btw, do note to use the 'flat' top screws for the 2 top holes when connecting the spine with the front & rear panels. So that when u place the top cover, it will be levelled.
Can't wait, so case only. Still missing my psu, so have not put in the components yet

Hi Nouvolo,
There r some shorter magnetic strips. Are they for the top cover? If yes, I notice if applied, the top cover will be slightly out.
If i don't install my stack unit, the only place for ssd is the at the opposite of the psu right? That's provided my gpu does not take out that space? Any other place?

It took me a while to notice there were some flat screws in the bag as well. I was a bit annoyed that it didn't fit together properly until I realised it was my mistake. haha.
As for the SSD, I was just thinking of adding some stick on velcro to it and just sticking it wherever I could, but I'm not sure how well that would work. Do you have any images with the PSU in place?
Same here, didn't realise there r flat screws initially. Haha
I m thinking the same as u of just sticking a ssd any space I can find.
My psu not here yet, hence can't show u. Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow.

I will b installing a noctua 120*15mm fan below the psu.
Get some customised cables for psu to reduce cluster & for better air flow. Also ordered some super thin sata cables from aliexpress.
No shipping to Russia?
We are in discussion with our shipping agent. Russia will be back up probably next week.
Sorry for that, but we need to work with separate shipping agents for certain countries. We are lining them up one by one.
I am considering getting this and route the cable through the bottom plate and stick the ports on the bottom facing one of the sides.
Alternatively get someone to cut a hole for the ports at the front leg for me.
I've been looking for one that supports USB C.
I'm planning on having it cut in to the front. Possibly replacing the led that's currently fitted.
Only problem is I can't find one that would fit.
Hi all, just purchased the steck, which I'll be using down the road for a zen2 build. Quick question, since it appears these are the v1.0 cases, will any of the improvements in the v1.1 be available to retrofit back to the 1.0 cases? Looks like most of the improvement is in the spine, so I was wondering if that'll be able to be dropped in later.
I also ordered in Austria, the base+stack bundle. USD 150 + shipping USD 40 = USD 190 = ~170 Eur. Until 150 Eur (without including shipping) there is no customs charge. So, the customs on my purchase was zero. The tax exempt value is 22 Eur or 0 Eur (not sure). Applying 20% EuSt (VAT, I think) on the full package then gave me ~34 Eur. DHL asked me to send the invoice of what I paid etc... They charged me ~33.5 Eur tax and an additional 18 Eur service fee for processing this tax and customs paperwork. Totally they charged 51.50 Eur.
Unfortunately for private customers, there doesn't appear to be an easy way of paying the estimated customs/tax etc in advance to the shipper so that we can get by without the service fee charge... So, there we have it.
Also, I wouldn't recommend disputing customs evaluation for amounts less than 100 Eur or so. Because the first time they evaluate they levy a service fee either the post office (10 Eur) or the shipper (eg: 18 Eur with DHL). Later when you dispute, you get the privilege of paying the service fee again even if they were in the wrong in the first place. Happened to me when I was shipping my own used computer to Austria from the US. They didn't see an invoice (it was me shipping to myself) and so they charged about 450 Eur as customs and taxes + processing fee of 10 Eur. I had to pay that first to get my item. Then I wrote a letter disputing the charges and they sent me back the 450 Eur minus the processing fee for the second time :-D
Yesterday i sent an email to dhl and asked them to show me their calculation... we will see what happens.
Thats not my first shipment i received from China and not the most expensive one. But it is the first time i had to pay tax at all...
