Velka 5 can have the same layout as 3 with SFX power supply support instead of Flex ATX and 65 mm CPU cooler clearance instead of 37 mm. Everything else can stay the same. External volume: 5.2 - 5.7 L. How does that sound?

yes, ITX size (RTX 2070 max)
That's the idea. It will need to have a similar extension mechanism as the current case, so at 5.7 L it will only fit cards that are exactly 170 mm in length, up to a maximum of 183 mm at 6.2 L. Most ITX sized cards are around 175 mm in length, so it would be about 6.0 L in a real use case scenario.
Sounds interesting - I assume the width/height increase (but not depth) to account for the larger PSU/cooler ??
Yes. Width will increase by about 39 mm, height will increase by about 23 mm, depth/ length will remain the same.
# of drives supported should also go up ??, now that we have the extra width ??
One or two 2.5" drives if a 65 mm tall CPU cooler is used, more if CPU cooler is shorter.
When we can expect ordering availability VK-3 ?
Approximate price VK-3 ?
Thank you for your response.
3 months or less. A more accurate estimate will be announced soon.
Case only: 99.99 USD
with riser: 119.99 USD
Are these cases only meant to be placed vertically? Just curious to know if laying them down would be a viable option or not with some rubber feet...
That can be done if reducing airflow for either the CPU or GPU compartments is not a concern (like in most "console style" cases) and if you would be ok with the appearance.
The bottom sides of some these cases may have a different color/finish, additional vent holes, screws, bends, etc, so making the bottom side face towards a corner (away from yourself) to hide those features would be advisable.

I see you have a prod date now ?
Have you made any changes to the appearance (bends wise) ??

The only appearance change is that the side bends in the front are now continuous.

Will you consider offering (as an accessory) a plate to block off the rear opening in the 37mm non-GPU config ??
The 4 holes on the PCI slot spine can be (repurposed as ??) the screw points
EDIT:
Dust filter kit ala velka-M ??
Possibly. Are you suggesting that wire mesh be used to cover holes and gaps in the back?

Wire mesh would be good for ventilation, but how durable/simple will it be to secure ??
I was thinking a simple rectangular plate with vertical or horizontal slats for airflow, aligned with the 4 holes in either pattern, securing from inside or outside the case
