Yes, there will be, and it will indeed have the increased CPU height, around 75 mm.
I can't tell you the exact timeline, it's in the development and I will probably start to order parts once I sell the part of the first batch of P-ATX model.

I present to you, the P-ATX prototype:

Please share your thoughts and bear in mind that this is not how the final product will look, it will be powder coated and anodized and thus have much better finish

I actually kind of like the finish as is; it's got this industrial look that I'm digging.

Wow! I think if you clear-coated it as it is, it would look epic!
Thanks, it will be similar, just more professional
Don't worry, there will be two options - transparent anodized (raw aluminum color) and black anodized
Sure, cool idea! I will check if there's enough space for two holes that can fit G1/4 thread.
I agree with @Allhopeforhumanity the rough industrial look really adds something, more of a rugged look.
Unfortunately there is no space for pass-through fittings, they are just to wide (up to 26 mm diameter):
Thank you guys!
If you do offer an unfinished/no paint option, you should call it a "kurouchi" finish; sounds more upscale and you can charge a premium.
Thanks for checking! What about holes just tubing?Unfortunately there is no space for pass-through fittings, they are just to wide (up to 26 mm diameter):
Looks like a very nice and interesting case. I love the "homemade" approach to it, with your own bending machine. I hope you use thick enough material for the case. Would you say that the 0.6mm steel side panels are "flimsy"?
One concern would be cooling of M.2 SSDs placed behind the graphics card, if using an ATX motherboard. They seem to get no real airflow there? How much space is there for heatsinks on the SSDs?
Will for sure consider buying this case when it's available, especially since I am located in the EU. The "industrial" prototype looks very nice.

That would be awesome! Probably it will be my next case if it ships to Brazil!That could work!

Yeah, I gave a lot of thought to using 0.6 mm steel for side panels. First, I wanted to have both left and right side panels, so you can access the backside of MBO, and so you don't have visible screws from mounting PSU etc. Therefore I didn't want to use 1 mm panels, because I have two of them, and they would make the case unnecessarily heavy and a bit thicker. 0.6 mm panels will be rigid enough once mounted, because they will have support on all sides. It's true that they won't be extremely rigid when unmounted.
For the SSDs, there are some holes on the back side of the case:
They will be a bit warmer, but I haven't noticed any problems or throttling on my Samsung 960 EVO and Kingston A1000. Many cases have them sandwiched between GPU and MBO without any airflow.
Space for the heatsink depends on how thick you GPU backplate is, I don't know the exact numbers yet.
And thank you a lot for considering the case!
Tell me if you have any more questions.Thank you a lot for that! Yes, I will ship cases worldwide, no worries
Here it is, 17.5 mm holes for tubes, I hope that looks good:
