How large is the gap between the power supply and the side panel? Can I route a flat 24pin cable between the PSU and side panel?

Filled out the survey today. Little worried as the reward showed only the winter one and solid side panels and not the perforated panels and the pump bracket i opted for.
I hope the survey was just to collect the shipping address and not any confirmation for the rewards again.

Your add ins should still be seen on your pledge. I ordered the poster and I still see it there.
My understanding was the survey is to gather the colour and shipping address only. @WinterCharm has all the options you have chosen in terms of add on's as part of your pledge. I don't think you have anything to worry about.
Would people be interested in a group buy of mesh filters?
For side panels, absolutely. I've seen a couple companies offer custom sizes for good prices. Got some for my 011 and now I can't remember the name of the company I got them from...
I'm interested in side panel options as well. I can see someone with solid side panels being interested in, at least, the bottom.
I'm also curious to hear what @WinterCharm has to say about the thermal impact of filters on the sides...

Do you have any recommendations for a flow-meter to use as a reservoir like you suggested here? Or do any smaller ones work fine? First time building a custom loop!
So I wasn't willing to make a call on this, until I had seem some 6800XT reviews. But it looks like the GPU is well cooled already, and there's enough thermal headroom on that cooler, that even if you ran a 2.7 slot on the solid panels, it may be run a *bit* hotter (probably 2-4ºC) but should still be fine.
Hope that helps!I'll pull up the CAD files and get the exact number for you. But you should be able to route a flat 24pin through there. The plastic part on the end may not fit, but the cables should.

This is a valid concern, and a great question!
The configurator system that Kickstarter gave me Beta Access to actually records your selections within the backer report, so I didn't need to gather those options from the survey. Traditionally, in Kickstarter, you had to edit your pledge manually for add-ons, but thanks to this configurator, almost all of that is now handled in the backend.If you talked to me to add something later on, that note is *also* in the Backer Report (which is exactly why I had some of you specifically message me on kickstarter after we talked here / on reddit about some of the optoins). This way, I could add notes *directly* to your order, and it's now contained within the backer report, minimizing the chances of there being an error.
Tl;Dr: Kickstarter's configurator Beta that I had access to handled options and add-ons. I also used the note system if anyone messaged me directly to adjust their order, and all of that is also included in the backer report, and recorded in our Kickstarter Messages. So the survey only needed to check for color selection
Demciflex makes some great filters. I would reach out to them.
Thermal impact for active cooling won't be too bad, especially since airflow is already outstanding in Winter One. For passive cooling, it can affect things because it's creating more flow restriction for very slow moving warm air.
-----------------
Quick Progress Update:
- Off-the-shelf parts have been ordered (Keyswitches, Riser Cables, Power Cables, Etc)
- Kickstarter Surveys have been sent out. Add ons were recorded directly within your order, so the only thing we needed to survey was color.
- After some more deliberation, we went with Kailh Box Navy Thick Clicks instead of the original Kailh Box Pale Blues. Both are 60g springs, but the thicker click bar on the Box Navy provides more resistance before the actuation point, *and* has the added bonus of a nicer sound.
- Final Validation of the design is ongoing, but nearing completion.
- Design and testing of the packaging has started. Packaging is going to be spartan on the outside, but nice on the inside.
- I'm waiting final color selections before we kick off manufacturing.

I know you have committed to black then silver (awesome response to feedback BTW), but any idea on the % break down?
For those of us who really don't care about color, will we get the opportunity to be in the first batch regardless of what color we picked? I picked black because I want it faster, but if silver gets more votes, I'm fine with that color too.
First color is black. Second batch will be silver.
That's what I thought, but then why are we waiting 'final color selection'? Thought it was already finalized that it was black then silver?
Just so WinterCharm knows how many of each color to produce, and who to ship black/silver to.

What is the res/3+ port flow meter in the picture?Any 3+ port flow meter works fine. Example:
