That little build turned out awesome. I need to read up on cable modifying/sleeving. This case deserves it.

Not to be pushy but I thought I was hoping if you had any input on a new top grated panel? I would like to order one ASAP, I just purchased the asus rog and want to put it in it's new home! Thanks.
I would prefer the grated panel you posted previously. I could use a dremel now and do a hack job and throw a fan grill on top, but I want to keep the clean aesthetics of the case. Let me know in the 2-3 months when you make another batch if you plan on making the panel as I would definitely still be interested.
I like the design because I can forgo the fans and use a double width half height card!
That is a good idea. I can see two issues though. The MB offsets could interfere with the back of the MB, bumping up against something; including some kind of washers to put on the back of the MB might solve this.
And the I/O shield would need some consideration. Maybe you could cut out part of the side of the 1st pci slot bracket. That way you could adjust where the I/O shield attaches if you are using the bottom set of mounting offsets.
If it works it would certainly be nicer than having to make to separate designs.
My second job is with a very small printer supplies & toner distributor. If you're interested, we may be able to serve as a distributor. Located in Springfield, Missouri -- good central location.
lone, will you make a vented side panel if you move the fans to the bottom?
I'm about to start picking up components to build mine. I have a few ideas on what to do with 2.5" drives if I do decide to go for the X51 PSU, although I'm not sure I will need that one. Waiting to see what the new low-pro R7-240 brings.
XFX has low profile R7-240s and 250s, but they both look like they are dual slot. The 240 should be fine with a single slot cooler and a picoPSU; it looks like it's a bit weaker than the HD7750. The 250 looks like it will be about equal to the 7750, so we'll have to see if someone comes up with a single slot low-profile for that one, too.

Been messing around with moving the bottom flanges to the back (so the bottom is flush like the top). I'm not sure I like it yet... it would be nice for those who want to lay the case horizontally though.
So when can I buy a second case from you with the noted changes and with a vented top panel?
Some Delta PFB1212UHE-F00 120mm fans would blow it all away.If you put 140/120MM top panel it will move so much more air than 2x80mm fans no matter there placement.
@updawg, Saint001, Thanks for your support guys! No timeline, or finalized plans yet, but I'm working towards that end. This new concept has set things back. If you have any feedback in the meantime, let me know. Note, the dual slot concept is the exact same size as the L1 case you already have. Fan space is just swapped from top to bottom.
Well, I can confirm a 160XT with the 192W brick will run an i7-4771, HD 7750, one SSD and a 1TB 7200RPM 2.5" HDD, along with two 80mm fans. Played Skyrim for 45 minutes no sweat. I ended up having to remove a fan due to the picopsu orientation but I have plans for that.
Here is how it sits now. More parts coming soon.
