If you would PM/email me your address I will look up a quote from all my shippers. I need to figure out how to negotiate better deals and this would be an opportunity for me to do so. Regardless, I'm factoring in a $20 shipping cost to the lower 48 US states and that $20 will be deducted from the actual real-time shipping quotes that are generated on my website. I'm hoping that this will lessen the pain for international shipping costs.
I've not heard from them yet that they have started. Usually, they will start by squeezing in some small parts in between other orders and then save the complicated pieces for near the delivery date (which I also don't have yet). I'll ping them tomorrow and see if I can get an estimate.
S402 will have side panel spacers similar to S401; theyre meant to widen the case by elevating the side panel by a few mm (might be 5mm because S401 has 5mm spacers, exactly what you need!).
S401 Side Panel Spacers
Update: Due to my current living situation, I'm unable to produce these and all my stock has been depleted. It appears as if I will not be able to produce more of these until around June 2020. Contact me for more information.With these panels you can add an additional 5.6mm to the clearance of...www.salvostudiosltd.com
Honestly, not as "fun", but you could just add spacers with longer screws. (either acrylic full case spacers that @Jerdz mentioned, nylon spacers, or even just washers stacked until it clears your cooler)Hello, I'm relatively new to PC building, and I'm planning a small form factor build later this summer. This case appeals to me for three main reasons:
1. It looks cool as heck.
2. It strikes a really nice balance (in my opinion) between size and compatibility.
3. Honestly, this thing is significantly more affordable than something big-brand with the same specs.
Anyways, I'll likely be saying hello on here in the future (I've already signed up for the newsletter and I'm eagerly awaiting the May release date).
However, I have one idea that, quite frankly, is a little dumb. But I'd like to share it nonetheless.
As I was shopping for coolers, I found that the Noctua NH-L9x65 was a great fit for my other parts, but it exceeds the 402's clearance by about 5mm.
I'm home from college for the summer (the ole 'rona has got us totally online,) and my dad has a bunch of metalworking tools, since he builds home theatre screens for a living.
I had the fun idea of potentially cutting out a section for the cooler to stick out 4 or 5mm.
Being a down-flow cooler, it could really benefit from the extra airflow, though I'll almost definitely have to stick a filter on it. I know that this compromises some of the 402's design choices, but since I technically CAN do it and it's FUN, I'd like to try to make it work instead of just buying a shorter cooler (the right decision, but not the fun one).
Here's a 2 minute mock-up I made in GIMP. Obviously the fan would not be bright red, but I'd likely repaint the Noctua brown to something grayscale.
The only real issue I can think of is that the protruding fan could directly torque the cpu socket. I don't plan on doing heavy traveling with the thing, but that's still something I've got to address. I can think of a few ways, but suggestions would be lovely as well.
If anyone can think of more reasons that this is silly, I'd love to hear them.
Also, @grsychckn, would it be possible to get my hands on an unpainted case, when are fully released?

Possibility of shipping to New Zealand in the current climate?
Hate being so far away from the rest of the world who get amazing small production cases like these
