Yeah the Louqe guys said I'll need a large top hat for the EVGA Hybrid AIO. Guess I'll stick another 25mm case fan beside it in the top hat and use the single fan Noctua NH-L12 cpu cooler. I think their 60deg max temps on an 8700k is optimistic but I'm not planning on overclocking anyway lol.

Even delidded the 8700k won't max at 60C. Expect at least 75C with the NH-L12. I am using mine with a Scythe Big Shuriken 2 and even delidded I get 74C running Prime95 and Louqe's own tests show the Big Shuriken cools a bit better than the Noctua.
Edit: Sorry I needed to edit my post, I did not correctly remember the heat sink results. I was thinking of the test they ran for the Lazer3D LZ7.
The test used was Firestrike Extreme and the NH-L12 had max temps of 60C during the test. This is actually very realistic as I get max temps in the low 60s C while gaming.

Here is some testing the user @Revenant did in his MI-6 with a 8700 and Noctua NH-L12, I know many Ghost owners are planning on using this cooler. Check this post and the 3 after. He is using a non k 8700 without delidding and this should give you an idea of the temps you can expect using the Noctua with a 8700k. 60C is optimistic to say the least.
Can confirm higher temps on 8700k.
I didn't delid but with Scythe Shuriken with Noctua 120x15 fan, temps with prime95 go upto 85c.
Idle and moderate load temp is 40ish c and 60c respectively and I can nearly hear the fan hum if i pay attention in a quiet room so all in all its pretty good.
This is without any case fans in a small case (lian li pc q 38)

Looking at the website, when adding the chassis to cart there is this message.
NOTE: This is a pledge reward for backers who did not catch the Kickstarter campaign. Backing the project and receiving this reward is not legally buying a product as such. Refer to the "Refund terms and conditions" for more information.
By this note, you didn't buy the chassis, so delivery is going to be some time until the project completes.
Unhelpful answer. I've been told that delivery is expected some time in June. Although it may be longer due to manufacturing etc.
unfortunately they are still waiting for the second supplier to send the samples, as it is now they just have some pictures (that don t look great), it will take till early next week for them to have the samples and then 48 hours to decide which one of the manufactors will be in charge of the production, at that point 6 more weeks for production+ 1 week for shipping.
because of that it will be most likely delayed again in july
no that is from the first manufactor
i'm talking about the second

in the last row on the right it is even more evident, the holes are unaligned, you have constantly 1 vertical row higher and one lower

PS: the pannels are "raw"
I'm told their medium hat comes work native mounting option for hdds
Interesting. Looking forward to seeing builds with a 3.5" HDD installed.
under the psu instead of the 12cm fan, basically where you install the 2x2,5 mount
