What is everyone's preference for assembly instruction format? User manuals, photo guides, or video guides?

I think a video couldn't hurt, but a detailed pdf manual with some pictures can go a long way to address most questions of experienced and newer builders alike that are interested in the product. The sentry 2.0 I've seen gets praise for the detailed pdf manual so I'd imagine something like that would be a great starting point
The best manual I have ever seen is the evolv shift manual. Thats pretty much perfect.
@VELKASE Michael what's the maximum supported width for graphics cards in the VK5? Two slots is specified in the specs but I didn't know if a graphics card over that would still fit. Mine is two slot but 53mm wide.
Thanks
Thanks
Exciting case and exciting to see progress for flex cases and PSUs.
I assume the new FSP Flexguru 300w fits as well?

yes, see https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/fsp-modular-flex-atx-psu-computex-2019.10924/#post-157933
I hope it's reasonably quiet -- should be a great fit for this case and a medium-spec build.

Nice find. Hopefully the 500W model comes out soon. I personally find the usefulness of the modular 300W modular model to be limited, considering that a non-modular 400W model can be bought for less and can support cards more powerful than a GTX 1650. This one seems to offer little more than improved looks.
I can't seem to find any exact dimensions of the v5 anywhere. I just want to know the footprint in terms of lengths of sides not area if possible, got to see if it fits exactly how I want on my desk
**edit: never mind, seems I didn't look hard enough**

The other issue is that even though it's modular, the cables use shared connectors, so you still have to plug in a lot of stuff you won't use. If you have just one 2.5" drive, you still have to have all 6 SATA connections in your case, kind of defeats the purpose. And 300W/no 8-pin is underwhelming, I hope they release the 500W with proper modular connections.
There is also the Silverstone 350W unit, which has a 6 pin PCIe connector (but not 6+2) and on the other hand the cables are not detachable.

Do you have any screws that come with the case for the 8010 fans please? I know it's probably not but it'd help me a lot if you'd include them so I don't have to loose another 3-4 weeks to find/buy them and then wait till they come

Silver cases come with 8 silver fan screws. Gray and black cases do not come with fan screws.
I will post about that here after QA is complete. Everything depends on it, actually.
Quality assessment -> Updated specifications and compatibility -> Updated explanations and guides
