We are still shipping out. We took a small break to resolve the thumb nut issue with the PSU. Expect a lot more to be shipped in the following week.

Those panels/grills are not flush intentionally. It is a chamfered edge that comes forward. It is to help the visual edge transition. When we made some prototypes with the edge flush, it made it look almost too sharp and flattened the face. In our opinion it gives a little extra dimension. The only way to make it flush is to make your own grills, which is very feasible if you have access to a lasercutter.I keep noticing that the front and rear panels aren't quite flush with the rest of the case in anyone's builds (or even on the website now that I look for it) - is there a way to make those flush?

Looks like they will fit after a quick look in CAD. The overall max height clearance is 333.9mm. As for the ease of use/installation i'm not sure yet as i haven't purchased these yet.
The space is tight, so you probably wont be able to directly use the bottom ports on those rads.
(Might be an interesting spot for a temp sensor though)
Lol you aren't the only one
I've been waiting ever since I saw it reviewed on Gear Seakers youtube channel.
Hey Everyone,
I think we are all due for an update. Good news is that most of all the orders will be ready/shipped by Friday this week! Thanks for being so patient throughout this process. There will be some orders that will need to be shipped in January. Those that fall under the January fulfillment will receive a personal email.
Thanks,
Taylor, Protolyth

Taylor,
when do you anticipate the next new pre-order window will open up? It would be nice if you could put dates for pre-order access similar to SSF Time with a local time. If the next batch of production is on hold or will be delayed for some time it would be nice to know this... I realize you are dealing with filling current orders.

Hey,
So we do not have a concrete date yet for the next batch. We want to gather feedback from this first batch first. Hopefully it will be a similar time window as the first pre-order period.

I need to see some builds stat
if you really want one sooner, am1rtv looks like he's selling one on Reddit.
Got a dead 4080 from BB the other day. But took a snap of how close it is to the rail with the GPU gap. You can make it so there’s the smallest space between it and the rail but might also touch here and there.
thats a snug fit! Its good to see even that it will fit without the gap-mod, but probably best with it for airflow
That's me, waiting for my new fittings to get here so I can get this build done, so I can post a build log. Bah!
So it's safe to say a water block is needed for fitment of the 4090 and would be ideal for the 4080
This is true for most non-FE cards. Wish they didn't make the GPUs so freaking long. Its even a problem with normal sized cases...
I’ve got a 4080 FE and was hoping to fit it in this case in the future. That picture makes me nervous
Also, if any of you have this setup with the GPU touching the rail (metal to metal) and it makes you nervous. You can get some Kapton Tape and put it on the inside on the rail in between to protect the GPU.
