ZS is also updating their ZS-A4L SFX half sandwich case to V2. Main change is it is smaller compared to V1. From 7.6L to 6.7L at 188x134x266mm
No information on clearances yet but should be similar to V1 and other cases with this layout. Will be available in October 2020

I used to have a MI-6 and would have loved to have this top fan option.This looks like a worthy successor to the now defunct CCD M1-6 ITX.

There are actually quite a few cases that has the same layout as CCD MI-6 in taobao like a few belowI used to have a MI-6 and would have loved to have this top fan option.
4 drives? Sure. 4 drives + SATA and power cables? Unlikely, at least without custom power cables.Regarding the ZS case, I don't think you could fit 4 drives in front of the PSU.
Hot damn, that is one of the best looking cases I've seen in a long time. If only I was in the market for something in that size class ... *drool*Three new cases appeared in Taobao.

That ITX layout sees the RTX cooler exhaust the majority of its air directly into the PSU intake. Yeah, that sounds like a really bad idea. I mean, it probably works, but it'll tank the efficiency of your PSU and likely dramatically shorten its lifespan...Mechanic Master C28 mATX Case

I'm not sure the air will be as hot as you think. With the front fan and bottom fan there is a lot of cool air being moved in the direction of the PSU

That ultimately doesn't matter much, as the vast majority of that air will be coming through the GPU heatsink under anything putting a load on the GPU, and will as such be hot when it reaches the PSU. Of course it would be even worse if there wasn't a plentiful supply of fresh air, but remember, this is a 320W GPU. That's a lot of heat for a small case. And unless you're going for a top quality PSU, most of them are only rated for operation at up to 40°C, which will easily be exceeded by the exhaust coming off that GPU.I'm not sure the air will be as hot as you think.

I can clearly see the intake grill on the PSU on its bottom, so yeah, definitely taking in air from the GPU fan as I said.It looks, based on the render and the location of hardware that the PSU is flipped to intake air from the bottom....but that is just a guess based on a render.
4 drives? Sure. 4 drives + SATA and power cables? Unlikely, at least without custom power cables.
Wait..MKVII coming soonIs there any news on the Wahread Mini MKVI? (https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=613870007010)
This looked like a very interesting design, but unfortunately it doesn't seem like it ever shipped and is now "outof stock" on taobao :/
I own a V2. It is an absolute pain in the ass. Its a nice technical achievement, but just getting the whole shell to slide on nicely is hard, because the entire computer is held up by a single panel in the middle, which then has to slot on grooves at the top and bottom of the inside of the outer shell. Then you have to deal with power and SATA cables to the front hard drive mount plate, and cables will easily get stuck inside, preventing sliding the computer into the shell.I read many mentioned that it was a pain in the ass to install the V2 with the seamless case. Cables would get caught easily. Some videos shows the builder adding a piece of paper to prevent the cables from getting caught while dropping the build into the shell.
None yet, but I suspect its a matter of time. Its probably easier that the T1 arrives in pieces, which can be cloned piece by piece. My guess is that someone 3D scanned the S1, and then fixed up the model. That model is floating around the QQ groups and stuff.I see a lot of Ghost S1 clones on here, is there any Sidearm T1/FormD T1 Clones on this site?

Also, the front panel has very strong magnets, which makes it very hard to pull off. Again, an elegant solution but just annoying to deal with. If you are someone who can build the machine once and not touch it its perfect. But for a tinkerer like myself its just far too inconvenient to disassemble and reassemble.
I like the carryover of the dual/triple slot configurable panels to the new case. In a lot of respects it looks like V1's layout with tweaks.
