Hi tinyitx,

a. Not bundled
b. Refer to point c.
c. Yes

For more info please refer to our product page.
Noting from the above product page (presumably that is for foreign buyers outside of China?), I see you can buy a 'PSU Cable Set'.
Is this cable set identical to the cable set listed in your Taobao store?
This one:-

Yes they are identical but we can also offer black colour as an option.

For the cable set:
1. Do you offer sleeved cables?
2. Can you make cables to length for Fractal Design ION+ 860W Platinum (ATX)?

And for the design, I agree with another post earlier about making grill openings to be larger/less restrictive, if still possible.

It looks like the rad supporting 'frame' is made of acrylic? Maybe the current amount of openings vs solid ration is designed for strength purpose? If not, I would say, forget about making the openings larger. Just ditch all the grill openings for max airflow passing through. An example is shown in the sketch below. Maybe use a metallic construction (instead of acrylic) for better stiffness.

Hi heckinwoofer,

No we currently do not offer sleeved cables. And we do not make cable to length for ATX PSU.

@ZS-Cases
Do you provide customer service only to foreign buyers or do you take care of domestic buyers (ie Taobao) too?

If latter, may I ask, is this ZS-OC still in 'pre-order' (预售) status? In Taobao product page, it says the pre-ordering has ended. I wonder if it is now in 'in stock' (现货) status?

Hi tinyitx, I only look after foreign buyers.

Just relocated my system to this ZS OC V1 today. I think there are only perhaps just a handful of people here ever shows some interest in an open case/frame. I will try to find time sometime this weekend to post a brief review of my build (with pics, of course) if someone is interested. So, anyone?

Me me me!

You know why I asked for that specific clearance before? 75mm is exactly the dimensions of the Optimus D5 res that I just got and assembled today. The only thing that's stopping me from getting this case right now is open case sucks at moving about - and I might have to move to a new flat in a month or so.
