Don't think there's a black render yet, but here's this.
Thanks for the quick reply
Actually pretty excited after seeing this case. Awhile back I was experimenting with move-able spine case and had a lot fun playing around with so many build configurations and component compatibility.
I build a lot of random custom cases (as a hobby ) and this is one of the few cases that I'd love to own. : )

When I saw Neyurt on my notification tab I was hoping you figured out how to shove a D15 in here.
Hah! If I move the spine all the way to one side... maybe? hah jk
USB-C I/O upgrade kit planned for end of year.
USB-C I/O significantly more expensive compared to USB-A, just didn't want to make the case more expensive. For the people that are willing to pay extra $25, they can get it later in the year.
Responded to Reddit.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Only $200 for CNC'd case + anodizing?! Ribbon included, right?
If so, you could go a bit wild with other tones as there might be demand for them. A full white case would look awesome, for instance. Even a white + light grey too. And at $200, $50 in extra paint-jobs might not be a bad idea.
Two tone looks amazing, all things considered.
I'm sure you could find a button that could be mounted on your desk. Or you could keep the computer in a sleep state.
I don't understand this reddit's user point, to be honest. Only a madman is looking for a high performance computer in a 10L that is ALSO silent.
There is a general rule of thumb when building computers:
Small - Powerful - Silent
Pick 2, no way around that.
I'd say include USB-C from the start. $25 is nothing and USB-C is the future. Even if that means that you have to delay the case... because, lets be honest. It is june, you still need prototype 2 to make sure that everything is as it should be... which means that you won't launch until, at least, the next 3 months? I'd say wait a bit more, and include everything in one package. I don't see the need to sell the case then burden yourself with having different skus and the PITA to send internationally potentially hundreds of upgrade kits.
This is a premium case, it should have premium features from the get go.
BTW, what do you have in mind at the moment for panel options?
TG / Solid / Perforated?
@Wahaha360 just found the optimum tech video and the case looks awesome.
As a original backer of the ghost S1 I am a bit worried because my computer runs quite hot, with a L12 and a 8600k. If you are interested, I can either send you detailed pictures of my build or send you my case since it is not being used due to the excess heat. This case adds space for a 120mm fan to improve airflow which is a vast improvement in design already.
Because of your past experience I know this will be better than the ghost but I can't help but be concerned that I can run into the same issues again.
Shoot me a PM if you would like to take me up on my offer.

I like it, but i really wish it was 1 slot wider, to get a bit more space for the GPU without having to compromise on CPU cooler as much.
The nCase is still extremely slim with 160mm. Make it slightly wider and it's so much more customizable without compromising alot on size. Just my two cents.
I can't buy this at the current width.

I actually prefer not having a front i/o. If there's usb-c I hope it's on the back with the power button. Having it on the front would ruin the minimalist design imo. Necere is already thinking of offering the Ncase v6 without front i/o and selling the i/o separately for those who want to pay more for the expensive type c port. Seems like the best of both worlds for those who don't want to pay extra for it and those who want it.
This case is optimized for a 3 slot gpu and an aio, i think an additional gpu slot would not be worth it at all. An aio is going to give better cooling than any air cooler that would take advantage of the extra slot room.
SFF cases are a compromise because of their small size. Yes you could make it wider or taller but then the case would be less compact and not as portable.
As a former community manager on the ghost project, everyone wanted it either wider or taller to the point where it wouldn't even be an small case anymore.
This case won't be for everyone, that's how it works out sometimes.
So the one thing I'm confused about with this case is why not make it 15mm taller? This would allow for 2 full size 120mm fans on the radiator and a less tight space under the psu all the while keeping it ~10L
You want an extra 0.65L of volume for 1 degree improvement?
LT240 + ROG Matrix / Strix? Yes please!

@Wahaha360 will there be no side i/o with the base model? I thought the power button would be on the side with a pair of usb ports.
You can see his test results here. The difference between 2x full 120mm fans was 1c on a 9900k. For reference 15mm is about the size of the Small Ghost S1 Tophat. Seems like an unnecessary increase in size for 1c.
