Hey thanks for reaching out! I do appreciate it. Things slowed down here and they have a lot to do with our current economy. I still have plans/hopes to release this case first half of next year. I've been doing my best to work with various factories for a pricing that will encourage what I feel people will pay for the design I've made. Factories do many things to to make sure a client is committed to them and it has direct effects to costs. It's been on my mind lately to start producing more content at least to let all of you know that I'm here and it's still in progress. Hope you can be patient.
Hey @jaeparku , yes you're right. Based on current designs you could get that in 11-12L. Although there is one aspect to this design that functionally needs that space. In earlier posts I described this case to be more aesthetically oriented. You'll notice that the I/O is on the bottom, this requires use of about 2.2L. it's the cost of making the cables less crowded. For the cooling, I've made the width 180mm. Generally you can do 170. I wanted to make a design that didn't require the use of mesh on the sides. Just the front and back for more linear airflow. This also takes a little bit more. Without these features it would be around 11-12L. Thanks for your feedback. I've considered carrying the same aesthetics to a future design that would be even smaller

Yup, I knew things like this were going to happen if Im not able to hit a certain schedule. You can also see the IO looks like it is also removable and swappable like I wanted too. I think we are still in a nice spot though, I just need to make sure the design is proportional to the price people will need to pay. Large companies typically can get lower prices simply because they can shove more money at the front of the production process.iBuyPower’s compact Revolt 3 MK3 PC case packs in a handle and lots of ventilation
You’ll be able to buy it with a pre-built machine or as a standalone case by the end of Q2 2021.
Wow, this looks a lot like your case and even has the bottom oriented I/O. It's just ugly lol.
Hey thanks for reaching out! The design is a mix of aluminum, sheet metal, and a few plastic parts. Do not fret over the plastic though! Making a quality plastic part has a lot to do with the geometry and surface finish. In this case the front panels are plastic, and they have good wall thicknesses and some ribs to ensure rigidity, and since it is a simple tooling the surface finish will also be easy to get right.
