They can make the PCIe expansion a bit modular to support vertical GPU naturally and not rely on 3rd party vertical bracket. Make bottom fan rail like top so it can fit 120 and 140mm fan up to 360mm rad and if they somehow can manage to fit another 360 rad on front fan bracket it'll be cool to fully custom loop with funky pipe bend. Also if they gonna make smaller version to fit just ITX or with mATX like O11 Dynamic Mini is gonna be cool as well with 120 and 140mm fan option on bottom and top part.

If the bottom fans are spaced to the far front of the case, you will have far better cooling with fully. You can try that same principle with any case that can have 3x120/2x140. Just install 2x140 and test the thermals with fans positioned at the far towards the front then at the far towards the back of the case. So if NZXT change the bottom to 3x120, they will have the perfect case.

Looks like NZXT is getting closer with their front side fans being angled actually blow toward the GPU helping for better air flow. I agree that the top needs more room but also think the top mesh should look like the back mesh since the top is almost always exhaust. The width I think should also be widened to allow for larger air cooler and bigger GPU's with room for the 12 pin cables. Last I am more into airflow then having small holes and No Dust Filter and would rather have the front side, Top and bottom more open like the back and add a fine mesh filter.

I believe in less dust means finer mesh filters and like most cases they make the large hole cases to far apart only allowing 50% air flow and if they bring the holes closer they would allow more air flow and fine mesh filter would allow more air then the small holes that will allow more dust inside. Large hole at 50% or small hole at 50% adding a filter Will restrict air flow but large hole at 75-80% with fine mesh filter will allow more air then small hole at 50% and get rid of more dust inside.@@bradhaines3142

Close to perfection, but the black rubber grommets are killing the vibe a little. I love my "Lian Li 011 mini Snow Edition" and think i won't switch to this, although its kinda cool. The fan-cutout at the bottom can be an issue if you rock a vertical mounting bracket for your GPU as its feet may not have any support there unless you populate it with fans (maybe). I also dont like that they chose 120mm instead of 140mm for the side. My case is even smaller than this (still ATX, but SFX psu) and yet i could fit 8x 140mm fans. All that aside, i will keep it in my list for future recommendations/builds maybe.

I found the work around for the 360 aio on top not fitting that third fan. Install the third fan last, put radiator in first with 2 fans pre installed first and then push the rubber corner above the mother board. It should be just enough to fit it and don’t screw in that corner of the fan. So 3 screws only and it should fit but just a little tight.
