hahaha
Quite a lot better. Personally I'd skip the sticker plate in the bottom center and run the slots at the top all the way up instead of the current irregular "artsy fartsy" pattern though.
heheheheTell me if you like it better than the old one
. It ran for months on end without overheating.
That is crazy tiny Danglesnort
I'm guessing since you've been using it this long there's no temp problems or anything like that.
So what is your next case going to be ? Are you going to improve on your existing design ?
I was considering getting the Asrock x99 itx board and testing a 2011 cpu in it, but after seeing your Dynatron R30 test (the same one I was going to buy), maybe I won't do that.
Brilliant. You should definitely start a thread here. The people here are super helpful and nice. They'll throw a lot of ideas your way
That's okay, but I saw the dimension of these PSU are smaller than the PSU you used, can it install to the case. I think these PSU can support flagship hardware without power issue.
The one I consider are 1K22A. it is 1200w and the dimensions is 73.5x40x203, it is narrower than the one you use, maybe it will not fit the screw holes that you design for the FSP PSU. That's my concern. I love your design soooo much. I have seeking small matx case which can compatible with flagship hardware for years. I am very exciting when I found this case.
I am very excited too as I've just finished the design changes for revision 2 
What would be the max measurements that this case would allow for an AIO cooler I'm thinking of compiling a list of what would be usable for this case.The max height of the case is 330mm, so a 360mm rad would not fit. Also remember that I need some space for the front i/o panel
The 240 EK predator is also a little too thick (68mm), I'm aiming for 60mm clearance which will allow for a few mm clearance between the radiator / fans and the front of the case.
Here is a list of radiators I'm factoring in:
Thx for the change.Hehe, glad to hear you're excited about the case Bill
And one of the things I took into account, is the ability to have your own back plate for the PSU. With the case, there will be a FlexATX -> 1U adapter plate included as per the pictures below. You can either modify this adapter or make your own
1. You can run a single slot card like a sound card no problem. I will think about including the necessary PCI bracket fillers with the case.
As soon as I'm done with testing V2 I will begin chats with a prospective list of manufacturers. I'm not sure how long this process will take as no doubt they will want to tweak the design to make it more feasible for mass manufacturing. However I'm hoping to begin those negotiations before the end of the year.Any ETA on production?
Thank you dizmo. I hope you like the new design of the V2 as well
1. You can run a single slot card like a sound card no problem. I will think about including the necessary PCI bracket fillers with the case.
2. Yes, V2 has vertically aligned USB ports to allow to plug in 4 devices at a time (for those bigger / thicker devices)
3. The PSU i linked to has enough cables to run 1 graphics card. For an SLI / Crossfire setup some modification or adapters will be needed. I will compile a list of recommended PSU's around the launch of V2.
4. I do have filters however there are no filter mounts in the case at the moment. You can use filters like these if you like (these are the ones I used in the V1 build):

5. I haven't completely decided on the side panels just yet. I'm aiming for possibly 2 versions: solid aluminium with ventilation holes and then also tempered glass with no ventilation holes.

Don't be silly. There's no such thing as too many questions. The more feedback I get, the better I can make the case
V2 is keeping the slanted I/O area. Yes, unfortunately in horizontal position it will make accessing the front USB ports a little awkward. This still might change towards the final design.
I did sleeve the cables myself. It was a big job. Took me about 2 days to do it all, especially that it was the first time I was sleeving cables
Aluminium will definitely be cheaper. I might do what someone suggest here and that is.... sell a base case version for example with 1 PCIe riser and aluminium side panels (to lower the cost for customers that don't want to run SLI for example, but use the 2nd GPU slot for a 3,5" HDD). And then sell accessories separately. Side panels, riser cables etc ...
