It took over a month of trial and error to figure out the best way to chamfer the top panel on my design. Now the prototype is finally done.
2 prototypes in the mail, will see it next week

I'm 90% there for getting a new prototype.
One more issue I wanted to get opinion on. Full window or half window?
Dimensions: 72x270x336mm, 6.53L (72x280x336mm including protrusions, 6.77L)
GPU Support:
- Flex PSU + Short GPUs (175mm or less),
- HDPlex 300W AC-DC + Zotac 1080 / 1080 TI short cards ( 211mm)
This is not quite clear to me, is it half window, half metal with vent slots, or is it all window, with vent slots on one side. In other words, are the vent slots cut into metal or glass? I think either way would look good. This case has come a long way from that xbox clone look, I like how it looks now.
Any idea when they’ll be able to start doing some testing?
Going forward I would hope for at least a 500W psu. I'm thinking the 400w may limit future upgradability when it comes to the GPU side of things. Just a idle though on my part.
I play PUBG on 2500k + 1080GTX and have no problems with min framerates.
I know Flex PSU fan noise is a big concern for people.
So I have been actively working with G-Unique to launch this case with 400-600W passive (fan-less power supply) Flex PSU with cable management built in.
I like to get a 8700K + 1080 in there. Ideally 8700K + 1080TI depending on the temperature and noise.
Here are some highlight pics from G-Unique
Here are the rest of pic from @G-Unique with the prototype.

OK, rock throwing at the ready!
a) Beveled panels.... not for me. I'd have them strictly flat.
b) Is that a VESA mount on the back? Not a fan though I see the point.

Also, G-Unique... isn't that the guy behind the DC-DC exotic products?
I was wondering when you are going to show up to the party.
a) we can offer a variety of panels, finishes and color on the same chassis, so it's not all doom and gloom.
b) the VESA is a personal requirement, if we it really bothers people, I suppose I can make the default outer panel blank, so it covers the VESA holes. For people that want the VESA, they would have to get a separate panel.
c) I met G-Unique in person, I like his PSUs, so we will prob work on more projects.
Will this has a optical drive spot for people that want to use this as htpc and have a blu ray drive on it
Cool if it will and is good price I may by one to replace my HTPC case
PS: the VESA... it isn't that it bothers me, it is simply that those wholes make the design not as clean if you do not plan to mount it. Although... having the option to mount it I might even do it.
Changed the top panel vents to circles, removed window.
Do you have link to the new thread please? I am very confused about these forums and only come here for NCASE threads.I'm branching off this project with my design to work with G-UNIQ to get the cost down.
Going forward, I will start a new thread to continue my version of the project.
This version can hide or show the VESA mounts by changing the bottom panel

I have a new idea to make the case even more interesting.
I will post a new link once I'm done with design revision and renderings to show this new feature.
This case is beautiful! Did it ever make it to production? I love the prototype concept with all the vertical lines!
We are prototyping next month.
Any updates on the prototypes?
Case looks really good wahaha360. You talked about a possible passive Flex PSU in an earlier post, any word on that?
Until people jam an 8700k and a 1080ti in it, oc them and the poor thing shuts down from over heating...
I don't think passive in such a tight space is gonna work very well. It hasn't for others.
