It's not coming out this week, is it? If it is, I need to set aside some money for the case.
Thanks!
Depends on whether I sort out shipping boxes tomorrow, so stay tuned for the update
Thanks for the clarification. I think right angled ones are also referred to as "type A" riser. For example:
LiHeat Riser
Phanteks Riser
I guess the only reason to change would be to get a totally black one, or one that can handle PCIe 4.0 spec, in the future.
Thanks!

Awww yeah. ? I've been holding off on specific components, time to start looking/shopping. Good timing with the blacked out L9i/a.
I have basically checked this thread at least 5-6 times a day every day since I found it and of course the one day I don't check it when I get up in the morning stuff happens. I'm so stoked for this!
Thanks!

I didn't manage to find out anything about boxes (they took a vacation?) and anodization isn't ready yet, so yeah, not the best day lol. I should know more tomorrow.
Get gaben out of here before you curse the case this close to Halloween
?
?
So, the anodizaton guy (BTW great dude) called me an hour ago and said look, I have some good news and some bad news. Good news, he found the way to do it without any problems, but bad news is that it will only be ready be the middle of next week.
Now, the back story to clear out why there were problems. This front/top aluminum piece has two functions, to hold side panels, and to make the case look elegant, without visible seams and screws from outside. Problem with that is that it's very hard to hold the panel for anodization without visible marks on the outside, because everything on the outside is visible, right. But he said that he found out a way to do it, I don't know how, but he sent me these two pictures:
Also, regarding company that makes boxes, they were on some sort of trip/team building, so yeah, I just picked one day when there was nobody there. But they are close to me so I will visit them on Monday and see how the thing will go, but I heard good stuff about them (basically the problem is to find the company who will do custom dimensions for small series).
So today was much better overall, but consequences from yesterday can still be felt since there will be a bit of delay.
Cheers!

There will be two options, silver (like raw aluminum) and black.
How much GPU clearance would there be with the 92mm AIO? Could you do a Tripple slot gpu and the 92mm AIO?
With 92mm AIO you can put GPU up to 270 mm (reference length). Yes, if you use an ITX board.
I'm a little confused about the CPU height. You say 53mm max but a C7 with 25mm fan would be 57mm. Mostly wondering as I would really like to be able to fit the thermalright AXP-100 Pure Copper at 58mm ?
I just realized that the Phanteks PH-TC12LS has what looks like cutouts underneath the finstack for a wire-style fan mount. I've sent an email to Josh from NFC Systems in hopes that if he owns the cooler, he can test to see if an Lp fan would collide with the mounting hardware. If not, I can mount an underslung fan and get the x99 cooler clearances that I need for this build.
