I feel honored
I know there was some talk about side panel window in the kickstarter that I hope comes to fruition, but who knows with the ventilation of the side panels. I don't know if this is possible, but a full side panel window with the quick release tabs would be nice. Maybe even have the window reversible, so it can be swapped to either side of the case. Something in this style would look amazing, I think:
If it's anything like the NCASE, it won't be worth the markup, unless you have money to blow. I remember the NCASE were going upwards of like $400 on eBay after the first shipment was received. With the higher price of the A4, it will prob be even more expensive. You would be better of waiting for the next run.
If you click "view pledge" it's at the bottom of the window that pops up.
I'm apparently backer no 1,650 (of 1,530 in total?) and i pledged over a week ago...whuuut?
Backer here too. Ever thought about (rubber) spacers? Having a stack of 0.5cm of spacers between the glass and the frame should allow enough air being drawn into the space on either side of the case and be discreet enough that people won't notice. Though that would most definitely require aftermarket mods to create mounting points to secure the piece of glass and spacers onto the frame.
Once we receive them we could share pictures with our builds. I'm planing to replace the front-top panel for a carbon fiber / kevlar cover in black and red. I want it now please! I don't think the number in the email will correspond (at least not exactly) to the number printed on the label going on the case, assuming that those who ordered two cases only received one number via email.
I may not get the Cryorg cooler. I've read that the noise profile on it isn't the best so I'm considering the LP53 + fan (likely oversized so there is some airflow on the board/M2 drive as well). In any case, I won't be buying parts until Kaby Lake is available, so I'll be able to see how everyone's rigs perform before selecting coolers.

I've also been debating between the two and, while I'll likely get the 450W, I'm most concerned with heat and noise. Though the PSU is "Gold" certified, it's only efficient in this range at half load, not full load, so I wonder if, in the interest of heat and silence, it's better to get the 650W and use it at partial load?
Actually, the Cryorig C7's default fan has a "quad air inlet" system, which is essentially gaps in the frame surrounding the fan allowing it to "suck" in air from around the fan, not only from the top. This may affect temps by a few degrees as it sucks in the warmer air from inside the case rather than outside.
This is only theorycrafting, however, and may not be correct.
