Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Lack of HDMI 2.0 doesn't matter at all to me, but to people with 4K TVs, they are apparently going to release active converters from DP 1.2 to HDMI 2.0.

42 to 59 at load isn't too bad on a budget air cooler like the 212. It's surely nothing to write home about, but we no longer live in the era of fluxless solder between the die and IHS on Intel CPUs (edit: unless you buy a LGA 2011 processor.). You have to buy yourself a tube of Coollaboratory...
I haven't been following too closely so apologies if I'm not the first to ask, but have you considered doing a version with flush end-plates and rubber feet? It would no longer be able to stand up nicely, but it'd be much easier to slip into a bag for carrying around.
+1 for screws. More secure and durable than the plastic tabs that push-pins use, and I don't mind how it looks.
I'll probably swap out the stock black screws for shiny silver ones - looks better than scratched-up black.
I use motherboard fan control, but according to AI Suite my fans (NF-A14s) spin at about 300 rpm (the slowest PWM speed possible). They never really have to ramp up any higher than that.
Looks great, can't wait for the kickstarter.
As for the motto/slogan, I don't think it needs one. If you want something to put on the box, just a short description of what it is should be okay, right?

I've been using qBittorrent for a long time now with no issues. I don't know why anyone uses μTorrent anymore, especially (god forbid) outdated versions of μTorrent. You really think they haven't patched any security holes since your preferred version was released? Come on.
I don't know about what fits and what doesn't, but ROG designs are typically very tall as well. Check out how far the 290X Matrix extends above the PCI bracket. Insane.
Both sides of the case need airflow, so you'd need to attach legs to prop it up and give it a little breathing space. It'd be sub-optimal in terms of heat naturally rising out of the case and such, but it should still be acceptable.
