To me the difference between 9.4L and 9.8L is trivial esp with no difference in footprint, and there's still a good amount of difference between that and the M1's 12.6L (22%). I also think people don't go purely on volume. And Dan already mentioned he was considering extending the case 5mm. Just extend it the full 10mm to accommodate 27mm rad + 25mm fans. You can cut corners elsewhere if you can, but this is the one thing that is an absolutely essential feature in my opinion. Launching the case with 15mm fans by default is a bit crazy. I know that's harsh, but I had a true WTF moment when I read that spec, and I have great respect for Dan so I feel like I should speak my mind. It would literally be the first and only case launched with support for a 240mm radiator, but limited to slim fans only.
And on the GPU placement, I sound like a broken record, but Dan please explain what your reasoning is besides cutting $40 off the price (I don't know what the difference is between the 3M riser and the hard riser, but I'm guessing it's around there). It just seems like you're sacrificing aesthetics, functionality, and motherboard temperatures to save a bit of cost. Would you consider running a poll? Especially if you want to launch the case with windows, like you're doing with the A4-SFX, having a motherboard side and a GPU side looks much better than a hardware sandwich.
I think the exposed rad is pretty rad, pun intended, but yes you must be extra careful not to bend the fins, and you gotta pray they didn't come factory pre-bent. May be issues in transportation though if not packed well. You can also put the fans on top for that helicopter look . You can get RGB fans and have an insane light show. Possibilities are endless.
PS I'm playing devil's advocate b/c anything Dan or Necere announce gets me super excited, and my OCD kicks in.
