2.5 slot GPU with standard 2U risers and proper support for 48mm air coolers is what we're aiming for. If we'd want to support thicker cards, then it means longer riser or lower cpu cooler and (in both cases) no 2.5" drive support.On top of that 3 slot cards would be so heavy that relying on just slot and bracket connection to handle the cards isn't something we can accept if we're promoting the case as something portable. Take a look at the problem of Gigabyte cards cracking around the pci-e lock - if something like this happens for someone while travelling with our case, he could argue that it's our fault that we're supporting such cards without the hold on the end of the card, and of course making a supporting piece that supports all shapes and thicknesses of the card would be both cumbersome and expensive to make.
