Nothing has been made yet, not making Black Friday as promised - my apologies on delays. Hope to have these closer to the 10th.
No wood on this due to the top to bottom air flow. Will be in 4 colors (black/white/red/beige).
Production Sliger SM550/560/570/580 (2 and 3 slot riser layouts, with air and liquid cooling variants)

Here is the final draft after implementing feedback from my first articles
Final changes to this case:
CPU clearance changed to 55.45mm for better cooling with window side panels on both sides.
Cover over the PCIe card gap on rear.
Improved intake open area and fan clearance for better cooling / less fan noise.
Case dimensions is now 9.2L (OD of panels, not counting feet or PCIe tab)
Retail price $180 in 2 colors - black and white.
Prototypes are in production queue, but we're booked out till January so I do not see this case likely to be available soon.

@KSliger Thank you for the update, i have a few questions if you have a moment.
Will the case still be available with the metal sides? If so what cutout pattern did you settle on for the panels, i notice the top has changed to a uniform slat on your latest revision?
When you say not available soon do you have any indication on an approximate timeframe? i.e are we looking at them going on sale in January or later in 2019?
Thanks again and great work on the case, very exited to grab one when i can.

Solid and vented aluminum side panels will be an option, initially in both in the organized vents of this version and the staggered vents of the early version. Might take a vote.
Hopefully in late December, but it depends on employees time off / vacation. Definitely in January if not December.
Based on the picture, looks like 120mm AIO is not supported? Also, what's the material for this case?
No 120mm AIO support. Yhere is a larger version that will have 3 slot wide / longer GPU support and 140mm AIO, and then my other G case that is 2x 120mm or 1x 240mm.
Steel chassis, .08" aluminum / AR polycarbonate side panels.
Pictures provided by customer of a custom version of the case (screw on panels/window, no USB C.)
Production run is scheduled, but floating between end of Dec and early Jan.
Should be a mid-Jan to Late Jan release.
I will probably go with this vent design for release. Will also have window and unvented.
Looks excellent, really excited for this one. Any plans to add audio ports with the USB ports as well?
Will have 2x audio, 1x USB 3.0 A, and 1x USB C. Pictured version was a customer that did not want audio or USB C.
Looks very nice with the mini-cerberus front. Is your audio and usb only going to be on the side? Or any plans to put it next to the power switch like the cerberus?
edit: also, it looks like the cpu cooler is a little starved for air intake since the vents are offset? Did you notice any issues with cpu thermals?

Will only be on one side, thought about having it reversible but causes too many fit issues.
CPU cooler has lots of clearance between wall and top of fan, plus the bottom two fans feed it a lot of fresh air.
My test unit with OC'd 4.7GHz 8700K peaked around 80C during stress test, floated 55C~60C during gaming (BFV, ARMA 3).
1070ti has the same clearance from side panel, never went above 60C.
The new vent design looks great. It will still have a handle option right? I think I can see screw holes for it in the mockup.
In image 3 here, is there any reason why the vent slits are offset on the side panel? Just a thought, but it might look a little cleaner if the side panel slits were longer and/or centered. The CPU cooler and GPU on the other side would have more airflow that way also.
I love this case, great work!
