exactly that, this bending.
one of my early cases had some long vents and had this problem as well.

Ok got it thanks. This only happens with with doors because they are thin. The chassis itself does not suffer from this at all since it is of 4 mm thick. I will think of a pattern or shrinking the vents.

Are you producing this out of the US or EU?

I'm interested in testing out one of these cases.

Hello, the casing is produced out of the US and EU. Will be doing a testing batch once I finalize the design elements all together.

I think a solution might be to have a couple small and thin reinforcement beams that run across the vent at the back of the panel for more structural rigidity. Or just split the vents into 4 sections.

Hello there, thanks a lot am glad you like it. I will provide photip of the whole assembly, maybe a short video on YouTube to make like an indie ad for the case. As for the DP cable unfortunately there's no thin ribbon cable like in HDMI. I am working on my own solution. Will see where it goes.
Cool, really interested in seeing the inside and your findings for HDMI and DP!

Thanks for the suggestions, I will do some designs of the doors and see how they look.

I love this case, would love to see a slightly smaller variation with no hdd cage, mini GPU only and something like g unique brickless psu.

That's a possible variation, maybe the next version if this one succeeds.

Hey I'm really excited about this case! I'm planning a build in about 3-4 months, so I was wondering if you have any rough estimates for the first batch of cases? Seriously awesome work, this is one of the best cases I've seen on the forum.

After looking at the photos again, one small change you can make is having recessed screws holes so the top of the screw is flat with the panel.

The design is very clean and having non recessed screws take away from it somewhat.

Thanks a lot for your enthusiasm, hopefully in two months.

Thanks for the your point. it is on my mind to make the screws recessed.

It's been a month and I was just wondering if the timeline on the case release is still the same? I've got a bunch of idea for my next build (those zen 2 rumors!) and am trying to figure out what parts I'm gonna get.

I like that perforation style a lot. I think it looks better than original by quite a bit.

Edit: Also what would the liquid cooling upgrade be? Would it increase any of the dimensions or restrict component sizes?
