What is the difference between Pinhead screws and Flathead screws? Any reason to use different ones? Also why not use C6-32 for the motherboard as it is standard for all other PC cases? (at least ones I had in the past)
I think less confusion is good. All cases that I ever used have only two types of screws and yours has 5
Also another thing for SFX-L configuration... In this case you have to replace bottom screw positions and add an hdd without the drive bay, yes? (not mentioned in the manual)

I don't quite understand, why not just have 8 simple holes and use standard M3s. Simply unscrew and screw into 4 different holes, that's it. In this case you could get away with:
- less complexity
- only three types of screws in total
- easier assembly
- cheaper manufacturing
This case looks amazing, I'll be using my build primarily for VR. I was wondering if anyone could give me a rough estimate on the difference between a watercooled i5-6600k vs fan cooled i5-6500? in terms of frame rates etc. I guess I"m deciding between a watercooled overclocked system in the NCase M1, or a a non-overcloacked in the af-sfx. Not sure if the extra costs would be worth it. Thanks!
For VR, I imagine the biggest bottleneck to FPS is going to be your GPU all of the quad core skylake chips will probably not yield much difference in FPS whether they are overclocked or not. However, you might see a difference in the future. As games become more demanding and if you decide not to upgrade your hardware then having the ability to overclock on an old skylake chip could really help. Take a look at Sandy Bridge chips those chips when overclocked don't have much advantage over a skylake chip at stock clocks.
That being said, it isn't necessarily impossible to squeeze a few extra 100 MHz overclock with a decent cooler in the A4.

And the mounting mechanism that is used here decouples the drives, which reduces the vibrations that are transmitted to the case. This is very important when using Hard drives and will reduce noise significantly. So the special M3 screws you see there are required, too.
High manufacture quality (manufactured by LianLi) and a premium PCIe extender/riser cable with custom length 3M Twin Axial 300mm.
@dondan, still maybe another note for replacing screw positions in SFX-L builds would be nice I imagine that most people will be using SFX-L PSUs anyway since they have much better quality and 2 storage drives is sufficient for most users.
Furthermore the side count (number of pages) is a problem. To make the manual printable the total number of pages must be divisible by 4. Currently we have 24 inner pages and 4 pages for the cover. So if I decide to add more content to the manual, I need content for 4 more pages. 
I've not noticed a difference in framerates between when I had a U9B-SE2 vs the C7 I've got now on my 3570K @ 4.1ghz.
And the i5 6500 has a lower TDP than my 3570K, so it should matter even less to it.
Now that I have follow this for a while, Im definetely say that im down when the croudfunding is starting!
As for Dondan, I do still wondering regarding the watercool the x99 system, if it could be manage to install a corsair h55 with a 12 mm fan ? seeing people are doing it on the rvz01, I would like to know the possiblity there without any compromise to have an external rad on the table or skipping the IO sheild.
Thanks for taking your time!
The only way to fit a radiator in the case is the use an ITX GPU, and put the radiator behind the PSU, possibly by mounting it in place of the PSU fan.
Would a single 120mm 25mm thick radiator with a 12.5mm fan really perform much better than a Cryorig C7 honestly?

Been following this for a while and have just decided to register to have a pressing question answered:
Will this case fit a rear-mounted M.2 drive on the motherboard?

You really like SFF, don't you?
Not really. I don't see it as having a place for what I do on a computer.
PS I thought a forum was a place open to all viewpoints. I think you might be confusing forum with a rally or a promotional conference where all attendees are of one mindset. Nothing very Socratic in that approach.

Plus obviously with a laptop you also lose upgradeability and you pay a big fat price premium.
It's kind of amazing when you think about it, that you can slap an M.2 SSD on a motherboard, use Skylake's integrated graphics, and your whole system is an ITX board and a power supply. And still a fully desktop system... that this case would be too big for haha. What has the world come to.
