We're slowly working towards improvements in the 3.0 and we have some ideas on how to do this, but we're also taking such feedback into consideration.

1) - we'll see whether it'll make sense. Know that we always wanted to reduce the number of screws sticking out on the sides, so it's definitely not going to be made like you've proposed, but we'll see.


2) That's a bit more complex topic - the slight bend of the cover right around the tooth is something that was varying from case to case, but in general it was like this because we needed some spring tension to keep the cover tight. We're working on a bit different way of handling the cover as there are a few consequences of how it was made in the last version


3) While it may seem that squeezing in two fans is a good idea, note that there's not much space between the cover and the GPU anyway - thinnest 120 mm fans are like 13 mm and we have like 10 mm on each side of the GPU. also putting fans right against perforation is not perfect on top of it being right against the GPU so it'd most likely be loud under load. Not to mention that it won't look as good as with somewhat balanced sides we have with only half being perforated.


4) We're most likely not going to include an additional part like this because it requires additional space for those fans, so having a card that isn't too big. Also note the current situation with GPUs. This means this would probably be used by select few people who could get their hands on a reference sized GPU. Additional parts that are not going to be used by most of the users are unnecessarily bringing up the cost of production, so there's that.

If anything, we'll look into options of having such mounting points integrated, but for it to make sense, we would need to have place more likely for 20 mm thick fans rather than 10 mm slim ones, and this gets challenging, so we won't promise anything here either.
