@VELKASE Michael - I expressed interest when you had the mesh side panels on Hard Forum. I ended up passing at the time. But wanted to let you know I just bought a Velka 3 and Velka 5 last week. Excited to get them :)

Hi Michael, just recieved the email.

Just to clarify: I ordered a Velka 5, black with riser. So I just need to email you with my order number and desired finish of the sides?

Can I check if you have a picture of the Velka with brushed aluminium sides? If not, do you know if the brush stroke run vertically or horizontally with the case?

Thanks

Yes, please let me know your preference for side panel finish. Either using the same email used to place the order or including the order number in your email would be sufficient.

I do not have any photos of cases assembled with brushed panels at this moment, but the stroke/ grain direction is vertical like it is on the front panel. Here are photos of the individual parts.

Hi Michael,
Since now there is a choice of panels, can I change my color for Velka 5 now? The brushed silver side panel looks great. I ordered a black one in Early October.
By the way, can this PSU fit into the Velka 3?
Thanks.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm having a hard time finding an answer...

What is the max psu height for a Velka 3?

I love the case and am curious to see if I could use an external psu like a pico or G-Unique and fit a small aio rad in that bottom section. Thanks!

Color can be changed, but all gray and silver cases are sold out until the second shipment around November 29

That power supply will not fit into the Velka 3, sorry.

Is it because of the full module part it has? What is the max PSU length for Velka 3? Thanks.

Will there be a way to specify the panel finish during a new pre-order ?? - or is it only for existing pre-orders ?? :)

It's mostly for existing pre-orders, so if you are to pre-order in the future, then most likely only the original configuration of brushed front panel and sandblasted side panels will be available as seen on all videos and photos online.

Whenever you place an order, there is a field to leave a message during checkout where you could potentially ask something like that, I just can't guarantee it.

Maximum length is 150 mm
Hi Michael,
Sorry to bother you again. I read through some of the threads and found you said that ENP-7660B is the best PSU for Velka 3. Also, you said there will be 183mm of clearance inside the case. The one I have is 170mm total with modular cables. Will this fit? If not, is it because of the power button or any other reasons?
Thanks.

Yes, the power button takes up about 20 mm of space and the modular interface will interfere with it. The only way it will fit is if you replace the button with your own that takes up less space.

Would you shift to brushed side panels as default in the future - or would that raise the price of the case(s) ??
I'm curious if this is like a bonus for early adopters (understandable) or a long term vision

I have to say the brushed panels look fantastic ?

The default PSU model you mention is 150mm non-modular - so it will fit. The modded version you are showing will not coz it is now outside the flex-atx specs, unless you make power switch changes

Hope this helps

Thanks for explaining, do you know if there is any power button that is compatible and slim enough?
